THE 1937 FORD

The 1937 Fords made significant design changes, most importantly the teardrop-shaped covered headlights recessed into the catwalks between the front fenders and the revised sharp vee-shaped grille with horizontal elements. All the Fords now had "trunk" backs and stored their spare tires inside the bodywork. The hood now opened alligator-style from the front, and the windshield was a two-panel vee-shaped assembly with notable rake. Under the hood the now well-proven and refined Ford V8 had one notable change; the water flow reversed, and the water pumps pulled cold water out of the radiator and forced it into the cylinder block. It was the final substantial change in the layout and function of the flathead V8 that would continue in service until well into the Fifties.


THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This striking and stylish 1937 Ford 2-Door Coupe Hot Rod has been created by legendary Hot Rod and Custom builder Roy Brizio and his Street Rods, Inc specialists in South San Francisco, Calif. Starting with an original all-steel 1937 Ford 2-Door Coupe, Brizio gave this spectacular Hot Rod the full works, starting with customizing the streamlined Coupe bodywork and finishing it in a vibrant Plum metallic color, while creating a custom trim of the interior. Mechanically the 1937 Ford has seen similarly tasteful upgrades, including fitment of a 283 cubic inch Chevrolet Corvette engine topped by a Rochester Tri-Carb set up. The power is transmitted through a 5-speed Tremec manual transmission and 9-inch Ford rear axle with 4.11 gears. A Heidts Mustang front end is fitted, along with performance brakes. Receipts from Brizio's comprehensive work accompany the sale of the car, as does a history file with much paraphernalia and documentation. This professionally prepared 1937 Ford Hot Rod by legendary builder Brizio Street Rods, Inc is as thrilling to look at as it is to drive and would be equally at home at a Hot Rod and Custom show or cruising down the highway.
