The 1932 Ford from Zylmex is the car for today.

The Ford Motor Company produced three cars between 1932 and 1934: the Model B, Model 18 & Model 40. These succeeded the Model A. The Model B continued to offer Ford's proven four cylinder and was available from 1932 to 1934. The V8 (Model 18 in 1932, Model 40 in 1933 & 1934) was succeeded by the Model 48. It was the first Ford fitted with the flathead V‑8.

During the period after WWII, Model Bs and 18s were frequently rodded. This continued into the 1960s on a large scale, as noted in the hit song and as the pivotal street racing car in the film "American Graffiti". Today, the roadster and coupe are the most sought after body styles, as these were popular for street rods and hotrods; unmodified examples have become rare. Since the 1970s, 1932 bodies and frames have been reproduced either in fiberglass or lately in steel, which has helped resolve sheetmetal shortages, and increased the number of rods being created or restored.

The '32 Ford or 'Deuce' is arguably the most customized post WWII American car in existence. With complete modern frames/bodies or with 'Henry Ford Steel', the 32 has become synonymous with the hot rod movement for more than 50 years. The Zylmex featured even sports a functional rumble seat.

Not the best example of this car, but it does have its charm.

Stand on the running boards and feel the wind in your hair as you sit in the rumble seat. :D While a little on the crude side this has been a long time favorite from the Zylmex line.
