Downtown Roadster. Beaver Falls, PA
1932 Ford Roadster.
Ninety years ago Ford rolled out the car that would change the whole idea of power, performance, and panache—the ‘32 Roadster. The car looked good enough in its myriad forms, but it was the availability of a V8 in a lightweight, relatively inexpensive body—a body from which you could easily remove the fenders, the roof, and even the windshield to make it lighter and more aerodynamic—that made it so attractive as the basis for customization. Racers and rodders have loved it ever since, and made it into the performance icon revered to this day.
