Yes, this is the second 1932 Ford phaeton body that Wescott built. The complete car was built in the late 70s. It was a very high quality build that has stood up well. I purchased the phaeton in 2012 in Arizona and drove it on out to the LA roadster show. Then back across country to SC. No problems, just a wonderful trip. Since then I have rewired the complete car, installed new Auto Meter Ford Motor Sport gauges, simulated wood grained dash insert (to match the Nardi steering wheel). Carpet has been upgraded with German wool square weave. I added stainless fuel line and trans lines and did general maintenance. The 1967 hipo 289 has the rare factory headers that were porcelain coated. Also the thicker harmonic balancer is present as well as the large Ford factory pulley on the alternator. The dropped axle front end is chromed and has 4 piston Ford disc brakes and a manual rack and pinion steering. This is a beautiful example of a timeless 1932 Ford street rod. I love it but have no room. It is perfect to take kids, grandkids or another couple to cruise-ins or other special events.
This phaeton won the sweepstakes award at the 1977 Portland Roadster Show. Also featured in Sep 1977 Street Rodder magazine. Very minor changes since then, mostly maintenance.
Drove it to Goodguys in Raliegh, NC this year. I've just got too many. Somebody besides me must like it.
