This lovely 1933 Ford Victoria owes its life to Edsel Fordand#44; who took his fathers practicality and made it beautiful. Not quite a two-door sedanand#44; but more than a 2-seat coupeand#44; the Vicky is one of the great styling achievements of the early 30sand#44; and makes one heck of a foundation for a rod. Of course its fiberglassand#44; but where else are you going to find smooth flanks and undamaged floorsand#44; seeing how original steel bodies are as rare as honest politicians. Finish quality is pretty darned goodand#44; with super straight seamsand#44; excellent alignment of those massive suicide-style doorsand#44; and a lot of time invested in sanding the surface to make it smooth. Pastel colors were never Henry Fords favoritesand#44; but he was definitely mistakenand#44; because the purple paint with lighter lavender and teal flames licking across the fenders looks pretty darned good. A little datedand#44; maybeand#44; but someone spent a lot of money for a great result. The grille shell was painted to matchand#44; and the rounded fenders give it a finished look that contrast neatly with the open hood sides. I also like the king-bee style headlights that look like they belong on the carand#44; the smooth billet grille insertand#44; and the inclusion of chrome bumpers fore and aft. Inside its 100% modernand#44; with black bucket seats and all the creature comforts youd expect from a top-notch piece. The Vicky body style allows expansive room front and rearand#44; so four can travel comfortably. The dash has been smoothed and modified to hold a full set of handsome Dolphin gauges that look a lot like the original dials Ford was issuing in the 1930s. A tilt column wears a good-looking wood-rimmed wheel and a Bandamp;M shifter on the floor manages a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. Other notable features include power windowsand#44; an AM/FM/CD stereo systemand#44; and a set of matching black floor mats that fit neatly in the foot wells. The open hood sides show off a great-running 350 cubic inch Chevrolet V8and#44; and as much as we like Ford engines in Fordsand#44; you cant argue with the results this powerplant delivers. As you can imagineand#44; the car is a blast on the streetand#44; and drives beautifully without any high-strung nonsense that you get from other rods with big horsepower. The engine bay has a few dress-up partsand#44; including finned valve covers that are on prominent displayand#44; as well as a flamed air cleaner up top. The hardware consists of a Holley carburetorand#44; HIE ignitionand#44; and a biggish camshaft insideand#44; so it has a nice lopey idle. For easy cruisingand#44; theres a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission spinning a Ford Mustang 8.8-inch rear end with highway-friendly gears inside. The completely fabricated frame and suspension features a Mustang II front suspensionand#44; power rack-and-pinion steeringand#44; and power front disc brakes for some serious stopping power. Handsome aluminum wheels emulate the classic mags of the 60sand#44; and are staggered for the perfect rakeand#44; with 195/60/14s up front and 255/60/15s out back. This is a nicely built rod that was finished a few years ago but still has a lot to offer. Fully sorted and ready to rockand#44; you couldnt build it yourself for this price. Call today! |
