1932 Ford Phaeton Hiboy Roadster Original Henry Steel Traditional Tub Hot Rod

Original 1932 Ford Phaeton Hiboy Roadster Hot Rod

The historical facts are these: The car was originally built in Australia in 1932. Ford exported their cars KD (knocked down) and assembled them overseas. There was originally a thick wood sub-frame and wood body cross members rather than steel in these cars. The doors were similar to Chevrolets of the era sheet metal over wood framework. Basically a really flimsy car. All this wood framework has been replaced with steel in this car for a pretty solid car now.

This particular car was exported to the USA by Eddie Ford (no relation) of Australia in 1967. Eddie is a BIG Pheaton collector/seller still active today. It was purchased by a gentleman in Port Townsend. WA. The car sat in dry storage from 1967 until fall 2011. In 2011 the car was built into what you see today by a very respected Washington hot rodder.

I have the full history of the car from 1967 to present.

The car was built as a real gravel road hot rod beater. This car is real solid but rough around the edges…Built that way on purpose. Brushed paint. minimal interior. down and dirty chassis. etc.
