What is the best 1932 Ford Roadster, has been built or not?

 

[Krylon32]

Doan Spencer roadster 1st. McGee/Scritchfield roadster 2nd.

 

[Digger]

Tim's '32 here in Monterery, CA.

 

[Richard]

What are the Mcgee Scritchfield Roadster specifications and details?

 

[Krylon32]

Just google Bob Mcgee roadster and there are several articles that come up with pictures.

The Ken Gross roadster is also high on my list...

Yes 10/4 on the Gross roadster, it is probably one on the best examples of a traditional roadster using old timey parts that was built in recent years. I'm also a little bias to the several I've built in the last few years but they were built using Brookvilles and repro chassis, even though they were FH powered.

The Ken Gross roadster does not have the orignal front radius rod.

 

[Krylon32]

It really doesnt make any difference, they had hairpins in the earlier times and many rods ran them, Mr Gross just chose that route instead of bones. Take a look at the Spencer roadster built in the 40s and you will see hairpins on it. Also the Morrison-Stirnemann roadster from the early 50s had hairpins.

I would include Joe Nitti's '32 in the list.

This is a pretty wide open question and going by your responses I'd like to ask just exactly what you want to get out of this thread?

I would say Vic Edelbrock's 32 roadster. The man raced it on the weekends and it was a daily driver during the week and he also built a company for speed parts while trying to go faster in the old 32 Ford. Can't get any better then that.

To me...mine...

i'd have to vote for the Fran Banister, from back in the 50's and 60's, a piece of East coast history.
