BARN FIND
1932 Ford all original Steel, 5-Window Coupe / Original Vintage Hot Rod / Show Car
Featured in the September 1959 issue of "CUSTOM CARS", little pages magazine in the "Showtime USA" article.
A show piece of Hot Rod History, cleaned up with a fresh flathead and brakes, car runs and drives but has not been restored.
Early
1950's build out of Decatur, Illinois. Body channeled over original
frame with a '48 Mercury Flathead Engine and Judson Supercharger.
Original pink and white tuck and roll interior and a lot of chrome.
Shown in car shows throughout the Midwest until parked in 1960 with
intentions of converting it into a race car. The supercharged engine was
replaced with a '51 Mercury powerplant and that is where the project
stopped.
The
car was located years later sitting in the original barn. Time and
conditions took its toll on the lacquer paint and overall condition but
still a very presentable piece of historic hot rodding. Body is straight
and solid.
Sold with old Illinois Title...
The
original '48 Mercury Flathead with vintage original Fenton Heads Chrome
Oil Pans and Filter, Chrome 97 Carb and Judson Supercharger is
available. Internal condition of the engine is unknown.
This crusty old hot rod draws a crowd at shows whenever it goes out!
