Mike & Cory Baker 1932 Ford Victoria / Heritage St. Charles, Missouri Click on Pictures to Enlarge |
I was at a car show in Waterloo, Illinois this past Sunday. While checking out the cars, I came across this beautiful 1932 Ford Victoria..After looking it over and talking to the owner, Mike Baker, I decided this is the car to see..Mike said due to his work load, he does not get this car out often but sure enjoys it when he does..After 3-1/2 years of sweat, the car is completed and everything is top notch. Well, everything was spotless till it was time to end the show and go home..Yes, the rain came and I can only imagine Mike and Cory will have many hours of cleaning to get the road grim off their beautiful car.. Now for some facts about the car. The top has a 3 inch chop, shaved door handles with poppers, Everything on car is powder coated silver or yellow to match body. All anchor bolts are stainless, Heidt's super ride front end with Flaming River rack & pinion, 9" ford rear w/ 3:73 gears, 4 link with adjustable coilovers, oversize 32 headlights w/ built in turn signals, 355 cu in small block w/ 6-71 BDS blower, 2-500 cfm Edlebrock carbs, motor is completly dress out, 17" Torque Thrust wheels all around, 205/45/zr17 tires up front and 255/60/zr17 in rear.
