1932 Ford Cabriolet

Mileage: ~50 miles

The car was featured in the February 1961 issue of Rod and Custom Magazine. At that time, the car was built by Bill Cox, owner of Quincy Automotive, Santa Monica, California.  In the ‘50s and ‘60s Quincy Automotive was “the place to get speed equipment or get your hot rod built.”

In 2012, the car was restored, bringing the car back to as it appeared in Rod and Custom in 1961.
