Every year, just before the Super Bowl and the Phoenix Open, Barrett-Jackson stages a huge auto auction at Westworld in Scottsdale, Arizona. Since it had been a few years since my previous visit, I ventured to Westworld, camera in hand. Next up is a 1932 Ford 3-Window Coupe, professionally rebuilt with numerous upgrades such as Rockford Fosgate stereo with iPod hookup. This Ford looks like it just came out of an Untouchables episode. Under that shiny black hood is a 350ci V8 engine with aluminum 23-degree cylinder heads topped with an Edelbrock carburetor mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. I love the design elements such as the rectangular rear window with curved corners, the sleek curved trunk, and the fenders with the flared back ends — and don't forget to mention the functional running boards. The Untouchables would have had to pay $490 ($8, 624.47 in 2020 dollars) for a vehicle like this. The auction sale price was $121, 000.
