Gleaming 1937 Ford Coupe All Steel A Very High Quality Award Winning Masterpiece on 2040-cars
Huntington, New York, United States
1937 FORD COUPE VIN: SD9283F THERE OVER 200 HUGE IMAGES OF THIS STUNNING CAR SHOWN BELOW! DESCRIPTION: This auction is for an amazing 1937 FORD Coupe that defies written descriptions, but with the help of hundreds of photos, we'll give it a try. This gorgeous car was professionally built, it is ALL steel, and it is a masterpiece of quality. It was constructed with the most intricate and detailed workmanship imaginable. Major modifications began with the fitting of Tudor sedan doors (that are 6" longer than stock) on hidden hinges and the tipping of the "B" posts forward to enhance the look. The rear quarters were lowered, custom running boards were fabricated and raked forward to match the modified lower edges on the front fenders. The roof has been welded and leaded in place and enhanced with a custom shaped rain gutter. In addition, a special rear roll pan was designed and constructed. The remaining stock body sheet metal was all carefully straightened by old school spot heating and quenching resulting in arrow straight panels and almost no filler. The exterior of the car speaks for itself, and the powerful blown big block engine was designed for high performance while drinking only pump grade fuels. The transmission is a modified 400 Turbo and it ends up at a full Mark Williams 9" Ford rear end. It is cooled by an oversize Griffin radiator and 16" SPAL fan and that is augmented by another water cooler and fan under the car (see images)! The brilliant stainless steel 3" exhaust system has .060" walls and the left and right side are mirrored imaged from the headers to the custom polished stainless wrapped Flow Master mufflers exiting centered out the back of the car. Another really trick feature is the linear actuated exhaust cutouts located at the end of the collectors along with front and rear license plates that instantly disappear under the car at the touch of a button. The extra tidy trunk space is taken up by a pair of boxed batteries and a custom 21 gallon fuel tank all of which was neatly upholstered. The graphics and paint scheme came from Thom Taylor who supplied concept drawings prior to the build. The underside and exterior of the coupe are finished with House of Kolors base and clear coats, Silver White Pearl, Kosmic Kandy Purple and Hot Pink Pearl. The graphics inspired cloth interior is beautifully detailed and fitted with high quality wool carpets. The 12 point full roll cage and Pyrotech 5-point harnesses work to keep occupants safe and secure in the event of a mishap. To help illustrate the level of detail in this project, the harnesses were taken apart to facilitate the chroming of the hardware and then sent back to Pyrotech to be stitched back together! Doors open remotely from a chromed mechanical arm hidden under the floorboards and a rear view mirror articulates out of the open drivers window from inside, if needed. The car is a real pleasure to drive because it behaves well and is easy to operate. The engine temperature is in the normal range under all conditions. There is a remotely controlled Sony 10 disc CD player with 4 speakers, Cerullo GT seats, Auto Meter pro comp gauges in a removable dash section and power windows. There is a breakdown list below of most of what went into building this treasure, and at the end of our dozens of current images, there is also a lengthy archival photo review to help illustrate the extent of the work in this coupe. The ONLY nit that we were able to pick on the entire car is some barely noticeable bubbling of the paint between the rear pan and the body below the trunk, that's it. This car is used on rare occasion, always garaged and exceptionally well cared for. For every trick thing that you can see on this car, there are 10 more bonus ideas and items that you really need to search for. You can stare at and study the workmanship for hours and still be amazed. The full photo and parts inventory history comes with the car as will CAD drawings of many of the custom parts, detailed wiring diagrams and many other extras. There are two different sets of engine side panels (shown hanging on the wall). BODY Modifications: 1937 FORD Coupe, All Steel.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags
Sun, Dec 14 2014Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.
Ford applies to trademark term 'Lincoln eGlide'
Thu, Apr 30 2020There's an epilogue to Ford's recent announcement that it's giving up on a battery-electric Lincoln co-developed with Rivian. The MachEClub forum discovered that just a week ago, Ford applied with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the term "Lincoln eGlide." The goods and services category details use for "Motor vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles, electric vehicles and structural parts and fittings; electric vehicles, namely, passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles, and structural parts and fittings." Living in an age where a small "e" is shorthand for "electric," and Ford having specified electric vehicles in the patent, the go-to guess is that this is for an electric vehicle. The inclusion of non-electric motor vehicles injects a little fuzziness. Tesla's trademark on the Model S specifies "electric automobiles" only, whereas Rivian's trademark for the R1T seeks coverage for "land vehicles" and just about every part found in or on a land vehicle.  Since Ford must have known about the end of the Rivian effort when it applied for the trademark, we suppose Lincoln has got some kind of eGlide coming no matter what. Lincoln refers to the theme of its latest cabin designs, as in the Aviator and Corsair, "Quiet Flight," and the road-scanning adaptive suspension on the Lincoln Aviator is called "Air Glide," neither term being trademarked. This leads our suspicions to eGlide becoming a vehicle component that could potentially serve a model with any powertrain, not necessarily battery-electric only, and eGlide won't be the name of the Lincoln EV that Ford says is still on the way. Another clue is that Ford included the word "Lincoln" in the term. Trademarked vehicle names such as Aviator and Corsair don't include the make, but services for vehicles do, such as the trademarks for Lincoln Connect and Lincoln Co-Pilot 360. We'll admit that a little bit of hope informs this line of thinking as well. Ford having done Lincoln the fabulous service of giving Lincolns terrific names, we'd be aghast if the Corsair and Navigator had to share showroom space with an eGlide. We've no choice but to wait for a retail product to provide answers. In the meantime, if we could just get to the bottom of this "Fastor Charge" trademark, and what's this bit about "Vandemonium?"  Related Video:    Â
