1932 Ford Tudor, Traditional Hot Rod, Legendary American Iron!
Here
we have a true barn find
all steel, real deal, 1932 Ford Tudor. This beauty was discovered in a
barn in New Hampshire by a certifiable classic car freak after a very
long slumber out of the elements. He completely revived and refreshed
it with a focus on preservation of the originality of the car. It
remains a
true time capsule and remarkably solid 78 year old American classic!
It's
quite remarkable that the history on such a old car is known and it's a
neat story, too. The Ford was bought brand new in 1932 at Bowen's
Garage in Eastford, Connecticut by Edna Lawrence. In 1964 Ms. Lawrence
sold the car to Jim Dooley for a mere $60. Jim drove it for a short
while until the engine started knocking and subsequently retired it to
his barn around 1966. A friend of Jim's, Ladd Eaton, came to visit Jim
and was shocked to find the Ford stashed away with the barn falling
apart around it! At that time Ladd and Jim decided that Ladd would take
the car with him to New Hampshire where he'd keep an eye on it and keep
it safe. Decades later it was purchased and fully revived by the
current owner. The title from 1964 is still present and shows the
transfer from Ms. Lawrence to Mr. Dooley!
The body is in excellent unrestored shape, rock solid, and has nice presentation in the traditional hot rod flat black.
The
original interior is very well
intact as well as you can see. Cloth seat covers and door panels are a
bit ratty but follow the cool purist theme of preservation. Everything
has a beautiful patina and really brings back the feel of the era
through its authenticity. Note the vintage 8 ball shift knob as well,
old school American hot rod styling!
Mechanically it has been
thoroughly revived and features a factory Ford crate engine with
approximately 8,000 miles on it! It is a factory balanced Flat Head
Truck V8 featuring dual 94 carbs and it sounds great with plenty of
power. The trans is a 1939 3 speed manual. The electrical has been
upgraded to 12 volt and a new set of vintage style bias ply tires round
out the period appearance very well. This 1932 is fully functional and
enjoyed regularly.
A true bit of legendary American Hot Rodding history! Thanks!
