Hi qualityand professionally built 1932 Ford ‘Highboy’ Roadster. This show winning Deuce was completed in the mid-1990’s and appeared in two issues of The Rodder’s Journal (1 & 12). Although you may think that a great looking Street Rod built that long ago would have paint or body work issues, you can see by the video and photos that the “Hugger Orange” paint with scallops looks as good today as the day it was first applied.
As recent as 2000 miles ago the current owner went through the entire car and ‘freshened it up’ including a new crate motor 350 cu.in. Chevrolet small block. It was built to look good, drive anywhere, and be reliable. Please view all photos carefully and feel free to ask any questions.
