By 1937 Ford was already a decades-old, experienced, and well-established carmaker. That exact year marked an important moment for the Blue Oval, as it was then when a new entry-level engine was introduced, and a restyling of the lineup was made. None of the changes made by Ford back then have anything to do with the street rod we have here, though.
Today’s street and hot rods, the ones the custom industry likes to brand as Fords, are nothing like what the carmaker used to make. Rocking custom bodies slapped on top of custom chassis, they come powered by a wide choice of engines and make for an alternative Ford history - a very exciting one at that.
Officially titled 1937 Ford Cabriolet, the build we have here is something that fits perfectly in any age, alternative or otherwise. It has the proper looks of the time it is supposed to come from but packs the technology that makes it relevant in our day and age.
The custom build you’re looking at is comprised of a Gibbons Fiberglass body rolling on top of a TCI chassis. Sandwiched somewhere between the two, there’s a Ford 5.0-liter engine of undisclosed power and a 3-speed automatic transmission, going out of their way to properly spin the four 15-inch Weld Racing wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A wheels.
The interior is something to die for, and unlike anything Ford used to make back in the day. We got bucket seats in leather, a clean, well-organized dashboard in front of which sits a Boyd Coddington steering wheel, and a custom audio system for driving to the tunes.
The 1937 Ford Cabriolet is on the lot of cars being sold by RK Motors. The street rod is going for $59,900, which is about right given the segment this vehicle is playing in.
