Every so often a very special offering becomes available. We feel that is the case with respect to the 1932 Ford pictured here. This car was sold new in Lodi California. One of the previous owners still lives in that area, and can tell the early stories. The Victoria went East and ended up in Fargo North Dakota, then on to the Milwaukee Wisconsin area, where the current owner completely disassembled and produced the incarnation as displayed here.

The chassis and all of the body, including fenders, grille shell, fuel tank, are the original parts that this car left the factory with. The only sheet metal replaced, was the '25' long louver hood side panels instead of the common '20' louver style. The body, fenders have never been rusted nor damaged nor cracked in any way. The car retains its original perfect Murray sunken floor, therefore necessitating the original chassis instead of a aftermarket replacement. Upon rigid examination an eerie feeling of wonderment occurs, seeing the spot welds in the lower rockers and the rivets under the rear bustle all in place as new.

There are many 1932 Fords across the country and most likely you will see one or more at any show or cruise that you will attend. Very seldom however, will you encounter a car that could be classified as "very serious retro" as this one is. Every aspect of this car is faithful to the Ford design, from the roof insert with correct tac strip, drip rails spot welded to body and not moulded in or bondo'd over, cowl lights, door handles, grille ornament, taillights and headlights, V8 ornament.

The whole effect continues into the interior. The dash with engine turned 3 gauge panel, Victoria special dome light all in place. The subtle look in the interior hides the fact that this car is fully equipped with air conditioning, heater, cruise control, power rack and pinion steering, power 4 wheel disc brakes, hidden AM-FM stereo, hidden 6-disc CD player, Sirius satellite radio, all run remotely.

The car has four wheel independent suspension, Independent chassis Co. front, Kugel Components rear, a special built Corvette LT1 fuel injected motor, with a 700R4 overdrive transmission. This car has been meticulously pampered and maintained and driven just shy of 37000 miles in the last 14 years. The base coat clear coat paint work has stood up wonderfully which is a testament to the great preparation from the start.
