Description of 1937 Ford Slantback

You know that car you always see with the crowd around it at the local cruise night? Well, his is it. Beautifully finished, his 1937 Ford slantback 2-door sedan shows off what the ideal combination of modifications and style can do to what was once just a transportation appliance.OK, o nobody will ever accuse the 1937 Fords of being ugly, o that's probably why the guys who built this one left the sheetmetal alone. No chopped top, o radical de-trimming, nd no outrageous paint job, ust clean, onest Ford steel in the original shape. Of course, it and finish are worlds beyond what Henry could manage in 1937, ven if he were willing to spend the money to get it to this level. Look closely and you'll note a few mods, ncluding Vee'd windshield and blue dot taillights, ut given how good it looks, ou won't get more attention with radical modifications. The body was smoothed and finished to a very high standard before several coats of black paint went on, hich gives it an appropriate look. It's got a few signs of use and age, ut if you appreciate the classic look and just want to update the driving experience, his is your car.The interior is the kind of place that you'd be happy to spend a weekend or more, hanks to comprehensive upgrades that make it as comfortable as a modern luxury car. The front seats are custom gray leather buckets and in back the original bench has been retained and covered in the same stuff, o it's bright and airy with a strong sense of style. Gorgeous custom door panels are attractive and functional, ut not over-done, o they work rather well with the rest of the car. The original dash has been painted to match the bodywork and the stock instrument panel has given way to a trio of gorgeous gauges from VDO. A powerful A/C system, yeball vents, nd an AM/FM/CD stereo head unit are fitted into the center of the dah, nd it's so neatly integrated that you'll have a hard time believing that Ford wasn't building them this way in 1937. A late-model GM steering wheel lives atop a tilt column and aside from some light stains on the custom floor mats, t looks quite fresh. Under that slanting deck lid, ou'll find a surprisingly spacious trunk that's fully upholstered and includes a space-saver spare with its own custom cover.The engine is a 350 cubic inch Chevrolet V8, o you know it's powerful and reliable out on the road. Fully dressed with lots of chrome, his will be part of the reason for the crowd forming around this car. A Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor atop an aluminum intake manifold is a time-tested combination, nd the dual exhaust system was built as much for sound as for performance, ecause this car sounds amazing. The front suspension is a Mustang II type setup with disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering, hile out back there's an 8-inch axle hanging on leaf springs. The quality of the workmanship is evident everywhere you look, nd the fact that it's been driven and enjoyed means that it's all sorted out and ready to enjoy. Shiny billet aluminum wheels are a classic look and they're wrapped in sensibly-sized 215/75/15 rubber, o it rides well and doesn't rub on sharp turns, hich is always important if you're actually going to drive your rod.Expertly engineered and nicely finished, his is the car you've been dreaming about driving this summer.
