1932 Ford Roadster Highboy

This Ford-style “Rodman” highboy roadster was built by Rod Palmer of Arizona Street Rods in the 1990s and features a Wescott fiberglass body and a custom-built chassis. The car is finished in gray over tan, and power comes from a fuel-injected GM 350ci V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Additional features include a removable tan soft top, black 16? and 18? knock-off wire wheels, hairpin front and ladder-bar rear suspension, a dropped I-beam front axle, a Currie Enterprises 9? rear end, front disc brakes with Wilwood calipers, a remote transmission cooler, Dietz headlights, 1948 Chevrolet taillights, a louvered hood, a split windshield, nickel-plated bright finishes, and a So-Cal Speed Shop instrument panel with Stewart-Warner instrumentation. The fenderless Wescott fiberglass roadster body is finished in General Motors Medium Dark Lichen Metallic with red pinstriping and mounted to a custom-built chassis. Other work carried out by Arizona Street Rods included extending the wheelbase by one inch and narrowing the front of the frame by two inches. Additional features include a removable tan soft top, nickel-plated bright finishes, a Rootlieb louvered hood, a DuVall-style split windshield, Dietz headlights with So-Cal Speed Shop brackets, 1948 Chevrolet–sourced taillights, and chrome side mirrors. Staggered-size black knock-off wire wheels feature pinstripes around the edges and are mounted with 5. 50R16 and 7. 00R18 Excelsior Stahl Sport Radial tires. Braking is handled by Super Bell Super Stopper front discs with Wilwood calipers and finned backing plates, rear drums, stainless-steel lines, and Earl’s hoses.
