1932 Ford Model B V-8 Deluxe Fordor Sedan

Originally built on Ford's four-cylinder Model B chassis, this modified sedan showcases one of hot rodding's most desirable engine swaps. The stock Model B featured a 201 cubic inch four-cylinder producing 50 horsepower, but it was quickly overshadowed by Ford's new V-8 Model 18, which cost only $10 more and delivered far greater performance.

The transplanted 8BA flathead V8 represents Ford's final and most refined flathead design. Produced from 1949–1953, the 8BA featured modern insert-style bearings, a bolt-on bellhousing, and a vertically-mounted distributor. These engines resolved many of the earlier flathead’s overheating issues and offered the best stock performance of the series.

Performance in this car is significantly enhanced by Offenhauser aluminum cylinder heads, legendary components from the company that dominated American open-wheel racing for decades. Combined with a Weiand intake manifold and Holley four-barrel carburetor, this setup transforms the once-sedate family sedan into a formidable performer.

The Washington Blue paint with Straw pinstriping and black fenders creates classic 1930s elegance, while modern upgrades include 16-inch wheels, tubular shocks, and hydraulic brakes. The 1932–1934 Fords remain among the most popular platforms for hot rodders, and this professionally built example is a standout combination of period styling and substantial performance improvements.

1948 Packard Eight Station Sedan

Capitalizing on post-war prosperity and brand loyalty, this luxury wagon earned the "Fashion Car of the Year" award from the New York Fashion Academy in 1948.

The distinctive semi-fastback roofline and elegant styling set it apart from utilitarian station wagons of the period. Beautiful birch-framed ash paneling adorned the exterior, though the wood served primarily decorative purposes over an all-steel body structure.

Only the innovative two-piece tailgate used wood structurally, pioneering a design that would become standard for American wagons in the 1950s.

Despite being classified as a Standard Eight model, the Station Sedan included luxury features typically found on Deluxe Eight models, including a clock, trip odometer, and cigar lighter.

Power came from a 288-cubic-inch L-head straight-eight engine producing 130 horsepower. Weighing 4,080 pounds (1,850 kg), it seated six passengers. Production totaled just 3,885 examples from 1948 through 1950, with the vast majority built in 1948, making survivors exceptionally rare today.
