1932 Ford

Don Wilbur always kept fast company. In the ’60s he partnered on a Junior Fueler. “We held eight national records and won a lot of races,” he recalls. Then came sprint cars, Super Modifieds, NASCAR, and karts. “I even did an Indy car for a short period of time,” he notes. He and three partners raced it twice before crashing it. “Then we quit-it got expensive real fast.” Then came a succession of Deuce coupes and roadsters.

This 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster was built by the acknowledged masters at Bob Smith Coachworks in Gainesville, Texas. They usually work their magic on one-off Ferrari’s, Mercedes-Benzes, and Italian supercars, preparing them to grace the lawns of Pebble Beach, Amelia Island, Meadow Brook, Cavallino, and Villa d’Este. But the opportunity to create a World Class Deuce Highboy Roadster in their own way was a siren song which they found impossible to resist. It resulted in this breathtaking, meticulously built, trimmed, fitted, assembled, and operating 1932 Ford Highboy.
