Customs BEST 32 FORD OF ALL TIME, LET's SEE EM

https://fuelcurve.com/goodguys-2022-meguiars-street-rod-delegance/

 

Diggin the dual quarter ellipticals and the fluted lenses. I never paid any attention to it. This is really the first I have seen details or really knew of its existence. Am I missing something? @Moriarity help me out here. Is this a contender? @j hansen , you had better pics, your thoughts? A contender for our best 32?

 

There's another one that resembles the one shown but a different car,
Both I would think 150k -225 k to build?
Maybe 275 rang !

 

I like it,but I think it is more like Steampunk vibes, than cl***ic -32.
So no,,I stick to this car as the best-32.

 

I just love this one, of course it's mine too. I've had a ton of fun putting thousands of miles on it too.

 

One thing I have always wondered, if the 32 Ford was as popular as everyone says it was then. Why in the world were people taking the frames and grills (for other projects) and leaving the bodies behind?

 

Why in the world? Maybe because they gained a stouter frame, better driveline, steering, brakes, along with a lower profile and then with the addition of the lighter T and A bodies better performance at the lakes or drags. And the world’s ***iest grille helped too.

 

Exactly this.
The Milner coupe ignited my hot rod love as a teenager here in the UK in the mid 70's when I saw AG in the cinema for the first time. I didn't even know it was a 32, and I can't say I like its style after discovering other style during subsequent years of mag buying and then visits to the USA, but, it was the start, and for me because of that it's iconic, with what it represented, rather than the sum of its parts.
32's for me are hot rods, not kustoms, so I'm afraid to me, Lil Coffin probably ranks as the worst 32 of all time not the best, but, hey what does a limey know

 

Plain Jane - All Henry

 

So many great cars. All could be the best in somebody's mind.
I wouldn't trade mine for any of them.

 

maybe it was only the fordor bodies that got left behind…………….

 

Wowzer!

 

This one built by Randy Bianchi tickles all the right places.

 

The 409 is a nice touch. Almost nonexistent use of chrome, if it had a hood, it would look a bit Boydster. Even the bones are red.

 

I like the heavy 60's vibe, I used to run flat caps on my Olds TT's. I even like the Mr T tail pipes. Is this a local car?

 

I believe it was built by Randy Bianchi- if you google him, you’ll see some familiar cars- Sunkist, Moonkist, a T sedan, a severely channeled 32 roadster, probably others. I think he’s back east somewhere.

 

I'll check him out. I like the example shown.

 

Randys' build style was "if a little is good then too much is just right"!

 

This is a totally subjective question. Here's one of my favorite dudes driving maybe my favorite 32. Pic taken by @Ryan what seems like yesterday. I had the chance to jump in and take it for a parking lot spin. It was awesome. Look at that thing! It sounded really really good.



Y'all should go back and read about this thing https://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=8474

 

I know the car and saved pictures on a thumb drive, so I wouldn't lose them. Of course, I lost the thumb drive, but they still exist on the link you provided. Historic? Absolutely! Cool? Yep. Fast? Obviously. I get the belly pan for speed trials, but I miss seeing the bottom of the grille. Hey, at least it has one, the 'Coffin hasn't any resemblance up front to a 32.

I love the chrome and polish work, and the color. Channel jobs aren't "my thing", mainly because, like the driver, my head would stick out of the car like Tom Magnum driving that 308 GTS in the 80's. I'd have bug splatters on my forehead and if it rains, a full face Shoei.

But I'll agree it is a cool addition to this thread, pursuit and heritage. Thanks for the add.

 

belly pan for the win

 

Bob Bleed looks like Stroker McGurk in the old comics. Just needs to change his hat.

 

….and just because of that I am voting Chet Herberts 32 Fordor the the best of all time!
