Sean Black’s Stinger 1932 Ford is a pretty bitchin ride. There are plenty of reasons to like it and plenty of ways that it checks all the boxes on how to do a great roadster. It’s also one of those cars that grabs your attention because although a subtle build in many ways, the blue paint color brings just enough to the table to set it apart from the normal black or red that grace so many 1932 Fords. I dig this car for lots of reasons. Unfortunately, I dig a lot of the cars in contention this year for America’s Most Beautiful Roadster which makes it really hard for me to choose just one. I guess it is a good thing I’m not on the judging team!
as a package and driver again this car is great. I think the theme is sort of confused though. The wheels say mid 60’s drag,but the interior is more current pro touring. The dash and steering wheel early 60’s. The big front “drums” all 50’s custom. Big headlights ,post war 40’s.
A great looking car but the theme jumps around too much for me.
Your hitting all around the theme. The theme on this car was a young boy that didn\’t have the funds to buy a car or new parts to build one, went to the salvage yard and picked up what was available. Just so happened he was able to find a wrecked 63 Vette so he pulled the motor, steering wheel and numerous other parts. The Rodders Journal had a very informative interview with Sean Black (the owner/builder) and he explained his thinking and theme behind the build. I\’m not saying I wouldn\’t be a little confused either if I didn\’t know a little bit about the theme. This car was built in a small hot rod shop that the owner/builder actually lives in. He doesn\’t have unlimited funds or resources unlike most of his competition. This car was built with blood, sweat, tears and countless sleep deprived nights. So in closing I guess you could say the owner/builder is living the theme as well as the dream. Thanks for your comments. No I\’m not the owner/builder just one of his life long friends and blue collar, free labor, supporting crew members.
