The classic 1932 Ford, often referred to as simply “the Deuce”, has been, and always will be, the quintessential hot rod. In the early days, Deuces of any body-style were plentiful and inexpensive, and their simplicity made them easy to strip down and modify. A cultural phenomenon and an entire industry were born from these humble beginnings, and today, many enthusiasts choose to focus on the obvious driving enjoyment, rather than construction.

This particular 1932 Henry Ford steel roadster with rumbleseat is finished in a stunning coat of black paint and contrasting red leather interior. It is equipped with a 350 cubic inch Chevrolet V-8 and Turbo 350 automatic transmission with stock shifter. It retains an original 1932 Ford steering column, but is fitted with a 1939 Ford steering wheel and a column-mounted tachometer; something that may have been done in period when it was modified. The frame rails are original 1932 Ford boxed with new cross-mounts. It rides on desirable Halibrand knock-off wheels front and rear, and it also has a Ford rear end. The dash is complete with a machine-turned cutout where the Stewart-Warner analog gauges can found. The dash also has a Southern California Timing Association plaque mounted on it indicating a speed of 116.42-mph on El Mirage in 1948! Displayed on the front frame crossmember is a 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games medallion. This tastefully modified 1932 Ford is a great one to show or drive with a great history to add.
