1932 Crawdord-Stoner Ford Roadster

This car was the first Hot Rod to gain public notoriety after it was featured in the September 1947 edition of Look magazine. It had been built up by Road Runners members, Jerry Stroner and Ken Crawford. The original Ford roadster body was removed and channeled, the external handles were filled, and all external hinges and bumps were faired in.
A custom hood was built and a new tonneau was added for added streamlining. Starting with a war surplus block, the displacement of the engine was increased to 276 cubic indues and it was completely modified to gain every ounce of power available. The roadster was selected as one of the ten most outstanding Southern California Timing Association cars ever built. When it was finished, it was one of the most famous cars among the Road RUnners Car Club of California.
