This car was built by Fred Steele of Maynard, Massachusetts, between 1951 and 1953 and was recognized nationally as one of the most well-proportioned modified 1932 Fords to ever hit the street. Steele, who owned the car and kept it in its original condition for five decades, combined a daring chopped top and channel job with a radical sectioned radiator shell that resulted in a car that looked so right that it has stood the test of time to this day. From the beige engine block to its perfect stance, the car remains just as Fred Steele built it more than a half-century ago. |
