10 Of The Coolest Kustom Classics

April 29, 2018

Doane Spencer’s 1932 Ford

One of the first kustoms, the car that would go on to be known as Doane Spencer’s 1932 Ford was first bought by Jack Dorn in 1941. Dorn shaved the decklid, fitted a DuVall windshield and a 1937 flathead V8, modified the cowl, and filled the grille shell. Spencer bought it from Dorn in 1944, removed the fenders, and fitted a 258 ci Mercury V8.

After Spencer’s modifications, the car won Best Appearing Roadster at the 1947 Pasadena Roadster Club’s Reliability Run. Spencer worked on the car until he switched to a 1957 Thunderbird, and started to sell the car piecemeal. The remaining parts were bought in 1958 by Lynn Wineland for $300. The car now sits in the Petersen Automotive Museum. If you’re ever passing the museum, stop by, and take a look at this awesome bit of automotive history.
