While attending my first Classic Car Show of 2014, I came across this remarkable looking 1932 Ford Hot Rod Coupe right as I was walking into the show. The car stood out with a whole group of spectators gathered around it. The 1932 Ford Coupe looked like it had just rolled off the assembly line, the orange paint job was in mint condition and the yellow flamed pin striping job was fantastic. The four extra large tires looked brand new, and the raised engine looked like it had just been steamed cleaned before the show as it reflected the sun on this gorgeous day on April 13th. The cars exhaust pipes hung high from the engine and the roof had that chopped top which made these cars so popular in the 1930's through the 1950's. This car alone made my day at the Belmont Park Classic Car Show. For more information on this Classic Car please feel free to read the information below;
The three window coup� (commonly just "three-window") is a style of automobile characterized by two side windows and a backlight. The style was popular from the 1920s until the beginning of World War II. While many manufacturers produced three window coup�s, the 1932 to 1936 Ford is a particular favorite of hot rodders. The three window coup� has a distinct difference from the five-window coup�, which has an additional window on each side. One of the most popular modifications is a "chopped top". The trend began in the 1950s, and is not limited to three-windows by any means. It involves cutting the window pillars and removing a section to lower the roof height, to make the car look better (in the opinion of the customizer). The process requires new glass, relocation of upper door hinges, and raked (tilted back) A-pillars to meet the roof of the car. Common modifications to include removing or changing fenders, hidden door hinges, removed ("shaved") door handles (to allow for solenoid-operated systems to unlatch the doors at the touch of a button), removed running boards, side-mounted exhaust systems (Lakes pipes), or dual exhaust which incorporate one set of pipes under the car with mufflers to allow street approved performance and noise levels, and a cut-out in the main system for side pipes that have no mufflers and may incorporate "glasspacks" which is a tube filled with fibreglass that increases the volume and changes the pitch of the engine's roar.
