1932 Ford Roadster Original Henry Steel

1932 Ford B Roadster Description

1932 Ford Roadster
You are viewing a very cool old school build. The car was finished 18 years ago with 2,500 miles driven since the build was done. Prior to the build you see the roadster was in the 1962 movie State Fair, which was partially shot at the fairgrounds in Puyallup, WA south of Seattle. Starring in the movie was Pat Boone, Ann Margaret, Pam Tiffin and Bobby Darrin. The car looked different and was red. I have a few pictures of the car in its original build. Also, this roadster was invited to Blackie’s show back in 2007, which was the 75th birthday of the 32 Ford and Blackie’s 48th show. Once the car arrived at the show Blackie himself requested to have the car parked at the entrance to the show. He loved the car and wanted it up front and center. This is a very special car, way cool and fun to drive.
