This vehicle is a custom that is very well done and just feels right on the road. It is the type of car where you want to roll down the window and go for a cruise. Formerly owned by George Poteet, this 1932 Ford sedan is affectionately named "Kopper Kandy" and is referred to as the "Fordor." With great style, the four-door is easy to load up, and with rear suicide doors, it “has a pretty cool look.” The body hasn't been chopped, but with a slightly lowered stance it has a very sleek appearance.

The body is laser straight and is coated with a beautiful Copper metallic that really stands out. Pinstripes have been laid down throughout the exterior and interior adding to that California custom appearance. All of the chrome and trim is in great condition. The side panels on the hood have been accented with side louvers, which were put in with a staggered layout that is quite distinctive. Each louver was then accented even more by additional quality striping.

The electrical is all working as it should with the front headlights being painted to match the car. They also have a built-on pod for the turn signals. The top has a white vinyl panel that is very “old school.” Billet mirrors are in place on each side and work with the car well. Another “old school” component is the Moon tank up front that is cleanly mounted to the spreader bar. The car rides on a set of reverse smoothie wheels that are chromed with a beautiful finish and mounted with wide whitewall tires.

Roaring to life under the hood is a nicely built 350-cid V-8 that has a great sound through polished dual exhaust. The engine is all chromed out with only billet and polished parts. The block, steering components, heads, and a few other pieces were all painted to match the car which creates a very clean look. This also illustrates that the engine was built specifically for the car. The automatic transmission shifts nice and smoothly with no issues. The nine-inch rear end fits nicely in place and along with many other undercarriage parts were painted Copper to match.

The I-beam dropped and drilled front axle is all highly polished and makes up part of a very nicely done front end. Disc brakes are nicely mounted in place, but have custom aftermarket SoCal Buick covers to make them look like polished nostalgic drums.

The quality continues on the inside with all white ultra-leather. Both bench seats are very comfortable and allow a good amount of leg room. Front seat back pockets have been added, similar to what you find in your modern day driver. Chrome seatbelts are in place in both front and rear for occupant safety. The dash is very nicely done with all polished knobs. Each is separated by a pinstripe accent that helps to add color. It has all black-faced Stewart Warner gauges that are mounted in an engine-turned bezel.

The AM/FM/CD player delivers a great sound and is hidden out of sight, so a remote control is used. A vintage Ford steering wheel has been custom painted two-tone White and Copper and tops off the white steering column. The air conditioning blows properly through under dash vents and inset vents in the dash.

It would be difficult to find another custom executed like this. Every component was thought out and planned individually, coming together to make a one of a kind classic.
