Coop's 32



















65 Riviera






 This 1932 Ford Roadster is a timeless hot rod that blends traditional styling with thoughtfully chosen modern performance upgrades. At its heart is a 354 Hemi, delivering strong, classic V8 power with unmistakable character, paired with a GM 700R4 transmission for relaxed cruising and highway-friendly gearing. The chassis is dialed in with a 4-inch dropped front axle and Bilstein shocks for improved stance and ride quality, while the rear features a parallel 4-bar setup with coilovers for stability and consistent handling. The body and paint, completed by Byers Customs, highlight the Roadster’s iconic lines with a clean, purposeful finish. Inside, McFarland Interiors brings the cabin together with a refined, traditional feel that complements the car’s overall theme. The result is a well-balanced build that honors vintage hot rod roots while delivering modern drivability.
