Cabriolet Project – Sold

The 1932 Ford Cabriolet is one of the most distinctive early Ford body styles, combining an open-air profile with the doors, windshield, and roll-up windows of a true convertible coupe. Its classic proportions make it a natural foundation for a traditional hot rod or a fully custom build.

This Cabriolet has been sold, but the build remains a strong example of the careful fabrication, chassis planning, metal work, body fitment, paint, and detail work handled at Klassy Kar Sales. The focus stayed on clean craftsmanship, reliable drivability, and the stance and finish that make a ’32 Ford feel right from every angle.
