32 Ford Sedans lets see 'em, seems like the thing to do!

Dressed in black for drive out to Victoria for Deuce Days.

 

I gotta bookmark this thread so I can look through it anytime I start thinking about selling mine.

 

Postscript: This car was sold, finished by my Buddy Jim & out cruisin' for less than a year. A cracked fuel fitting led to a fire that burned it to the ground, taking his shop & contents with it... so sad...

 

Bummer. Sorry to hear that story.

 

Hello,

There is no such thing as a “perfect rake.” But in the eyes of the owner or builder, what is before your own eyes is a rake that seems to be fitting for the type of hot rod. How one gets the rake is varied, so, use what you have. Rake gives a little attitude for most cars.

Despite the abundance of chrome rims on a lot of street hot rods, the true look was to emulate the drag racers with the newly created American Racing Magnesium 5 spoke wheels back in those early days. Some took those real ones and adapted them to street use. Then, when the American Racing Company specifically made them for street use, the styling took off like a wildfire on the loose. No fake 5 spoke copies for this 32 Vicky sedan. YRMV

Norman “Rabbit” Samuels is/was a Long Beach local guy that was involved in all sorts of hot rod/drag racing builds. When he was associated with Reath Automotive race car builds, it just worked out for him. Then finally, he was known for his involvement in the famous “hot rod for sale business” called “Stick City.” It was a place to see a daily car show of many different styles of hot rods, race cars modified for the street and certified used cars.

This 1932 Vicky sedan was one of his creations and gave off the hot rod/drag racing influence to all those that saw the rake angle and from the rear when going down the street.

One of the coolest looking 32 Vicky sedans, a custom hot rod built for the street and for the numerous car shows that were all over So Cal during this time period.
