The History Behind the 1932 Roadster Hot Rod Shirt
Ford introduced the Model A in 1927. Within five years, Ford released a brand new car for 1932 with a longer wheelbase, double-dropped chassis, and, best of all, a flathead V8 engine. It was that last change, the V8, that would help the 1932 Ford become an icon within the hot rodding world. This was the first time that the V8 engine would be available to the masses. Of the 275,000 Fords sold in 1932, a staggering 185,000 were V8s (it was only $10 more than the 4-cylinder).
After WW2 and well into the 1950s, the V8 Fords were given a second life. Known for their cheap cost, good looks, light weight engineering and adaptable performance, the cars started to get modified and built into what we now call a hot rods. The performance parts industry would be built around the Ford V8. Companies like Edelbrock, Winfield, and Stromberg built thousands of parts to make cars go faster on the the street and dried lake beds of California.
