Vehicle Description We are very pleased to offer this beautiful custom 1937 Ford 5-Window Coupe finished in Colonial White & Fiesta Red combination over a Fiesta Red/White two-tone interior with Black accent piping! This classic streetrod was professionally rebuilt in body-off chassis fashion by the former owner of 18 years.
Beginning in March 2004, the entire car would be disassembled to a bare chassis and body components and meticulously rebuilt in a pure nut & bolt process.

The chassis was upgraded with Chassis Engineering's independent front suspension set up with power rack & pinion steering, power disc brakes with dual master cylinder, and their parallel rear leaf springs supporting the 8.
8 Ford rear axle.
It rides comfortably on QA1 adjustable shocks at all four corners! The body and chassis were both epoxy primered before the application of a gorgeous exterior 2-stage topcoat!
