1932 Ford Model 18 Tudor
Vehicle Description
This steel-bodied ’32 Ford Tudor Sedan has been transformed into a traditional-style hot rod, combining classic lines with modern drivability. Finished in Washington Blue with color-matched tubular frame members, it features a filled roof, louvered hood, tilt-out windshield, and chrome spreader bars for timeless appeal.
Underneath, the chassis is equipped with a Pete & Jake’s drilled drop axle, hairpin radius rods, and transverse leaf spring up front, complemented by a four-link rear suspension with coilovers. Body-color steel wheels wearing piecrust Firestone tires and drum brakes complete the vintage look.
Power comes from a Chevrolet 350ci V8 topped with an Edelbrock carburetor and scoop, exhaling through ram’s horn manifolds and dual exhaust. It’s paired with a Turbo Hydramatic three-speed automatic and a body-color Ford 9-inch rear end. The drivetrain shows minor leaks at the valve cover and transmission O-ring, noted by the seller.
Inside, the cabin has been reupholstered in brown with bucket seats, matching side panels, and a rear bench. A Lokar shifter, tilt steering column, and Classic Instruments gauges round out the cockpit.
Acquired by the seller in 2023, this hot rod shows 3,600 miles—about 1,000 added under current ownership—and is offered with service records, spare parts, and a clean California title listing it as a 1932 Ford (VIN 18189994).
