This 1930 Ford 5-window coupe is one of those super-traditional rods that uses all the right vintage parts but the workmanship and amenities are pure 21st century. If you like having your cake and eating itand#44; tooand#44; this neat little coupe is for you. The body is a genuine steel 5-window coupeand#44; chopped three inches and tweaked in all the right placesand#44; but retains the upright good looks of Henrys original design. Henry Ford didnt like bright paints because they were expensiveand#44; but then againand#44; he probably never saw a bright yellow car that looked as good as this one. Someone spent a ton of time on that vintage sheetmetal getting it dead straight and massaging all the details. Quality workmanship shows in things like the belt moldings that remain crispand#44; the fit of the doorsand#44; as well as the little things like the neatly fitted gas tank and the 1950 Pontiac taillights out backand#44; which are a traditional look thats a nice change from the usual Ford parts. A 32 Ford grille shell and stainless insert offer a smoother look and the hood is neatly fitted and pops off with handy Dzus fasteners. The roof has been filledand#44; the flames look almost as if theyre hand-paintedand#44; and King Bee headlights are pure 1950sand#44; all of which give this little Ford a very traditional look that works especially well. The interior is far more luxurious than any Model A ever wasand#44; from the leather-covered bench seat to the beautifully stitched matching door panels. Theres plenty of headroom inside the chopped coupeand#44; thanks to that modified seatand#44; which also has seat belts for safety. Smoothed and filledand#44; the original dash now carries a neat little billet instrument panel with a complete array of retro-styled gauges from Classic Instrumentsand#44; highlighted by orange needles and cream faces. A three-spoke wooden steering wheel lends it an upscale feeland#44; but just so you dont forget that this car is a weapon on the streetsand#44; theres a long Hurst shifter linked to a 4-speed manual transmission. A/C has been almost invisibly integrated into the dashboard yet it blows ice coldand#44; giving you the ability to cruise in comfort regardless of the weather. Theres no rumble seat in backand#44; but a bare-bones trunk that could be finished to take the car up a notch or left as-is for that street-fighter vibe. If youre going to hang your engine out there for everyone to seeand#44; it had better look great. In this cars caseand#44; its a vintage 327 cubic inch Chevy V8 with a very traditional outfit. The finned valve covers and bell-shaped air cleaner on top of a Holley 4-barrel carburetor all scream performance and the simple white firewall is a period hot rodding touch that works well even with the yellow bodywork. The supporting cast includes a big radiator in that 32 shelland#44; a set of block-hugging headersand#44; and bright Chevy Orange paint on the block and accessory drive. Power is churned through the aforementioned 4-speed manual gearbox to a stout 9-inch rear full of street-friendly gears for easy cruising. Traditional touches include the wishbone front suspension with a leaf spring fromand#44; a smoothed and filled frame thats been painted to match the bodyand#44; and a 4-link with coil-overs out back. The final touch is a set of steel wheelsand#44; hubcapsand#44; and staggered whitewall radials that give it a bit of rake. Just be prepared for all the attention; theres just no sneaking around in a bright yellow Model A. Very well finishedand#44; this is a rod that gets everything right. Call today! |
