From a Minnesota Barn to a Shelf Full of Trophies
Built by Ford
One of approximately 7,852 Deluxe Cabriolets produced that year — already a rare car the day it left the factory.
Stored, Not Scrapped
Owned for four decades by one family in a small Minnesota town, then parked and preserved rather than parted out — complete, original, and still wearing its factory flathead V8.
Found Complete
Purchased by the last owner directly from the 40-year owner, then shipped to North Dakota before making its way to Arizona Street Rods.
Build Completed
A no-expense-spared, ground-up build by Arizona Street Rods — Heidts suspension, a Ramjet-injected 350, and a hand-rubbed Avon Blue finish over the original Henry steel body.
Blackjack Department Choice
Months after completion, the car took home the Blackjack Department Choice award at the Casino Arizona Fall Classic Car Show.
Boyd Coddington Top 100
Selected as a Top 100 pick at the Good Guys show — recognition from one of the most respected names in the street rod world.
Street Rodder Top 100 & Boyd Coddington's Pro's Pick
A Top 100 honor from Street Rodder magazine, plus Boyd Coddington's own Pro's Pick award at Goodguys Scottsdale — two more names in the street rod world weighing in.
Classic Instruments Trophy Dash Finalist
Named a finalist at the Goodguys Scottsdale show, recognized for the quality of its gauge and dash work.
Goodguys Builders Choice Award
Took the Builders Choice Award at the 2nd Spring Nationals in Scottsdale, Arizona.
7,450 Miles Since Completion
Still show-quality, still road-ready, and still turning heads — a build this thorough is nearly impossible to duplicate at today's prices.
