They've been building cars for decades since Henry Ford presented the bodystyle that followed the Model T's 19-year run and the Model A's four-year stint. It was in production for barely a year, and yet to this day, no other car has been as popular among hot rodders as it has. It is the car that appears more than any other in hot rod enthusiast magazines. It is the car that has been treated to literally every conceivable form of performance and appearance modification. It is the car practically everybody immediately thinks of when they hear the term "hot rod." We're talking about the '32 Ford, known by most as simply as the “Deuce.”

This fantastic machine represents the first ever produced all-steel full-fendered 1932 Ford roadster by Brookeville Roadster. It was assembled and finished by the Street Rod legend, Barry Lobeck. Mr. Lobeck was one of the most popular hot rod builders outside California, building a decades-long string of low-slung traditionally styled hot rods. Goodguys President Marc Meadors has remarked that “he was a towering figure in the Midwest hot rod scene. His influence was felt nationwide both from a design and manufacturing standpoint. This exquisite red machine is a perfect example of his skills being utilized to the utmost.

The rolling chassis was completed by Lobeck's V-8 Rod Shop. It is fitted with a ZZ4 crate engine by Street & Performance. This unit is paired with a fully polished B&M Street and Strip 700R automatic transmission, which in turn hooks up with a chrome driveshaft/u-joints and a custom polished V-8 Halibrand quick-change rear end. Polished Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes and real knock-off Mechalic wheels are on all four corners.

The front end, interior layout and trunk designed by multi "Ridler" award winner Don Pilkenton from Don's Hot Rod shop in Germantown, Ohio. The full custom leather interior was executed by multi "Ridler" award winner Bob Lyons, of Brookeville, Ohio. The fastidiously completed final paint and assembly was performed by Barry Lobeck, Lobeck's V-8 Rod Shop Springfield, Ohio.

With over $300,000 invested, it is obvious that no expense was spared. Further adding to the significance is a street rod Hall of Fame builders list that includes Don Pilkenton, Bob Lyons and Barry Lobeck. With less than 300 miles since completion this 1932 “trailer queen” could highlight any individual or museum car collection.
