This ultra-clean 1937 Ford 3-window coupe is one heck of a rod. Professionally built with all the goodies youd expect from a top-of-the-line buildand#44; its a show-stopper thats ready to cruise and show. You might want to put it on a trailer because its so prettyand#44; but that would be a mistakeand#44; because it drives every bit as great as it looks. Its a Downs Fiberglass body that captures the cool art-deco look of the originaland#44; from the deep V-shaped front grille and faired-in headlights to the sleek 3-window coupe profileand#44; and its a shape that will never go out of style. The top has been chopped in true hot-rod fashionand#44; the A-pillars have been laid backand#44; and all the trim and handles have been smoothed and shavedand#44; leaving a shape thats pure Ford. Excellent prep work on the fiberglass means the two-tone teal and pearl white finish is flat and smoothand#44; with trick airbrushed graphics buried under the clear for a seamless look. Extra attention was spent on the fit and alignment of the doorsand#44; hood and trunkand#44; so the gaps are tight and the surfaces are flushand#44; lending the car a precision look that is seldom found on rods at any price leveland#44; and the shine on the paint means extra time went into block sanding and buffing the clearcoat. Other tricks include the flush-mounted LED taillightsand#44; a billet grilleand#44; and turn signals integrated into the headlight buckets behind those lovely crystal clear lenses. Color matched mirrors are the only interruption in the smooth shapeand#44; but theyve been so neatly integrated into the design that you barely notice them. The interior was brilliantly executed by Upholstery Unlimited in Clintonand#44; Iowa using what is called frost ultra-leather. Sculpted buckets that are all-day comfortable and a beautiful fit in the low coupe bodywork. Matching door panels were hand-made and the custom center console offers practicality in the form of an armrest with storage inside as well as a neatly integrated Lokar shifter. The instrument panel is a recessed area in the center of the dash that now houses a series of Dakota Digital gaugesand#44; a very cool look regardless of whether the key is on. A/Cand#44; power windowsand#44; power locks with remote actuatorsand#44; a tilt columnand#44; and a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo system are all part of the package. The trunk is also beautifully finished with matching side and rear panelsand#44; fitted carpetsand#44; and hidden compartments for things like the battery and stereo equipment. A dazzlingand#44; chrome-plated and polished 350 cubic inch V8 delivers plenty of power and torqueand#44; and delivers more show-stopping quality under the hood. Theres an Edelbrock carburetor up topand#44; along with a matching intake manifold with the Endura-Shine finish so it sparkles. A smoothed firewall provides the perfect backdrop for the small block Chevyand#44; and anything that wasnt chromed or polished was painted to match the bodywork. Gear swaps are managed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission spinning a Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.73 gears inside. The chassis is fully detailed with body-colored frame membersand#44; a shiny stainless exhaust system with side exits under the running boardsand#44; and rack-and-pinion steering. SSBC supplied a set of giant 13-inch disc brakes up front and they look awesome behind those polished Intro Prowler wheels wearing 17-inch Goodyear rubber. Pro-built rods dont get much nicer than this. Fully sorted and testedand#44; its ready to drive and showand#44; with a look thatll never go out of style. Call today! |
