A ’32 Coupe Built Like a Lincoln
“Roy kept telling me, ‘Come up with a theme.’”
Roy was right. Great street rods, high-buck, low-buck, pro-built, or homebuilt, follow a theme. It might be as simple as ’50s styling or it might be as imaginative as this ’32 Ford three-window coupe, built for Larry Carter by Roy Brizio Street Rods in South San Francisco. Larry and Roy had collaborated on several other cars in the past. Those include a Deuce roadster and a ’34 Ford woodie. In 2009, they teamed up to take a theme to the next level. “What would Enzo do?,” was the hypothetical question. A dark red ’33 Ford roadster with the soul (and engine, gauges, and interior) of a Ferrari was the tangible answer. Work began on the coupe in the summer of 2015. Following Roy’s charge to “come up with a theme,” and inspired by the success of the ’33, Larry got the idea to inject this latest rod with some Lincoln flavor. “After all,” Larry explains, “a Lincoln is an upgraded Ford.” Deuces are something of a signature vehicle for Roy Brizio Street Rods and this full-fendered three-window was built from a steel Brookville body. Rootlieb provided a steel ’32 Ford 25-louver one-piece hood, and a stainless steel insert from Dan Fink Metalworks fills the grille shell. Andrik Albor and Jack Stratton, two of Brizio’s talented fabricators, performed the chop, taking a just-right 3 inches out of the coupe top. Guy Ruchonnet put his touch to the rest of the sheetmetal, perfecting it prior to paint.This story is from the February 2018 edition of Street Rodder.
