1932 Ford McMullen Roadster !
McMullen bought the roadster in 1958 and continuously improved it until 1970, when he had so sell the car for just $5000 to fund some other business ventures, but he regretted it afterwards, saying it was one of his biggest mistakes. He was never able to buy the car back.
Eventually it came into the possession of a collector who employed the help of famed builder Roy Brizio and restored the car to its original appearance when McMullen drove the roadster as a daily driver and weekend racer.
Equipped with a small block 352 CI Chevy V8 engine, a powerful GMC 4:71 supercharger, two 4-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed 1939 Ford gearbox, McMullen’s Deuce set a top speed record for street roadsters at El Mirage Dry Lake and Bonneville, reaching 167 mph (269 kph).
The original iconic flames were designed by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, which raised the car’s success among Hot Rod enthusiasts, making its appearance on the covers of Hot Rod magazine (1963), Street Rodder, Popular Hot Rodding, and also on album covers, advertisements and movies.This article was not sponsored or supported by a third-party.
