Ford USA license new '32 coupe bodies
Produced by United Pacific Industries in the USA, the new 1932 Ford 5-window coupe steel bodies are offered by Ford Component Sales in the USA as part of the Ford restoration parts program. The new shell premiered at last year's SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show in Las Vegas.
Stamped from new metal, the all-new body is welded and assembled with state-of-the-art fixtures to maintain dimensional integrity. The finished body receives a rust-preventative coating for additional protection.
Whenever possible, Ford used the original tooling to make the reproduction parts. If tooling is no longer available, new tooling is designed to the original specifications.
Making each body to Ford Motor Company standards ensures all licensee-provided parts bearing Ford's official trademarks meet the quality standards and authenticity Ford classic car enthusiasts demand.
Each approved part comes with a blue-and-white sticker with the Ford logo stating it is an officially licensed restoration part, which means fit, function and appearance is as authentic as the original.
"The coupe body shell joins our growing list of ready-to-build stamped steel body shells, including the classic 1965-70 Mustangs and 1940 Ford Coupe," said Dennis Mondrach, restoration licensing manager, Ford Component Sales.
The Ford restoration parts program has more than 9,000 licensed parts for Ford-built vehicles, everything from the 1909 Model T to vehicles as recent as 2007. Australian availability of the licensed '32 coupe reproduction body shells has yet to be confirmed.
