This Ford Deluxe is a fiberglass-bodied convertible coupe that was acquired by the current owner in 2014 and subsequently assembled. The car is finished in ivory over red upholstery. Power is provided by a 5.7-liter LT1 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and the car is finished in ivory over red leather upholstery. Additional equipment includes chrome engine accessories, a tan convertible top with a red boot cover, 16″ chrome-finished Budnik wheels, independent front and rear suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, bodyside pinstripes, rear flush-mounted turn signals, air conditioning, power windows, Dakota Digital gauges, and an AM/FM/CD stereo. This Ford Deluxe convertible is now offered with images from the assembly process, spare parts and manuals, and a North Carolina title listing the car as a 1940 Ford Streetrod.

The Wescott fiberglass body was reportedly painted using the PPG color “Vanilla Milkshake” and mated to a fabricated boxed-frame chassis as part of the build completed under current ownership. Equipment includes a tan convertible top with a red top boot, red and silver bodyside pinstripes, running boards, rear flush-mounted turn signals, body-colored bumpers, side mirrors, a split windshield, and dual center exhaust outlets.

Chrome-finished 16″ Budnik wheels wear Michelin tires. Braking is handled by unassisted four-wheel discs, and the car rides on front and rear independent suspension.

The custom front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in red and are accompanied by a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Additional equipment includes power windows, air conditioning, a front armrest, alloy pedals, sun visors, and an AM/FM/CD stereo.

The red-rimmed steering wheel is mounted to a chrome-finished Ididit steering column and fronts a horizontal panel of Dakota Digital gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 10k miles, all of which have been added under current ownership.

The 5.7-liter LT1 V8 was reportedly sourced from a 1996 Corvette and features chrome-finished components including the air conditioning compressor, alternator, valve covers, pulleys, and air cleaner cover.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission.

The tag attached to the firewall is pictured above and lists the sequence 539869, which matches the VIN listed on the North Carolina title that displays a “Specially Constructed” label.

This go-kart was designed to resemble a 1934 Ford roadster hot rod and was purchased by the seller in 2022 before being refurbished. The fiberglass bodywork is finished in Candy Green over a tubular steel chassis, and power comes from a replacement 212cc Predator single paired with a 30 Series torque converter. Equipment includes an MCP hydraulic disc brake, an onboard battery charger, a gold engine bay heat reflector, staggered-diameter polished wheels, headlights and taillights, side-view mirrors, a plexiglass windshield, drilled pedals, a black vinyl seat, and black carpets. This ’34 Ford-style go-kart is now offered at no reserve in Greenville, Kentucky, on a bill of sale.

The fiberglass bodywork is said to have been repainted in House of Kolor–sourced Candy Green under the seller’s ownership. Headlights and taillights were also fitted, and additional equipment includes a wire mesh grille, a plexiglass windscreen, dual side-view mirrors, and a rear-hinged decklid. The kart measures 78″ long, 30″ wide, and 23″ tall.

The polished wheels are mounted in a big and little setup, and they wear 145/70–6 front and 18×9.00–10 rear SUNF tires. The tubular steel chassis was reportedly sandblasted and repainted in black, while the wheel hubs and brackets were painted gold. Black-finished hairpins are fitted up front, and replacement bearings and fasteners were reportedly installed under the seller’s ownership. Stopping power is provided by an MCP hydraulic disc brake with a gold-painted caliper on the rear axle.

The cockpit features a single seat trimmed in black vinyl along with matching side panels and marine-grade carpets. A three-spoke steering wheel is mounted aft of gold-painted drilled foot pedals. A replacement wiring harness was installed under the seller’s ownership.

The 212cc Predator single was added under the seller’s ownership along with a 30 Series torque converter.

Power is delivered to the rear axle via a chain drive.

Aside from being the shop manager and master of all things mechanical at our Hemmings Sibley Garage and workshop in Bennington, Vermont, Junior Nevinson is also a rabid motorcycle enthusiast. So much so, that when we were filming our IROC REHAB video series on the Hemmings YouTube channel, we started talking about motorcycles. We started talking about road bikes, with the conversation then turning to off-road. Then, after a few moments, something amazing happened. Junior, being the humble human being he is, casually told us about how he took a motorcycle journey through South America that covered over twenty-one borders, and 46,000-miles, on a 250cc Yamaha dual sport motorcycle. Yeah, he did that… And now he’s on our very own Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ podcast to tell us exactly how it went!

Hyundai Motor America donated $50,000 to the Banner Health Foundation to help build a Play Zone at Diamond Children’s Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona. The donation is part of Hyundai’s corporate social responsibility initiative, Hyundai Hope, and will assist in creating a dedicated play space for pediatric patients and their families. A ceremonial check was presented to the Banner Health Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona.

“The opportunities and benefits that a safe and supportive space like the Play Zone will offer families is at the heart of Hyundai Hope’s mission,” said Brandon Ramirez, director, corporate social responsibility, Hyundai Motor America. “We are proud to partner with the Banner Health Foundation to bring this to life and continue to uplift children and families in the community.”

Banner Health is one of the largest nonprofit health systems in the country, consisting of 30 hospitals, three academic medical centers, and other health-related entities operating in six states. Banner Children’s at Diamond Children’s Medical Center is focused on helping kids feel safe while receiving advanced care from pediatric specialty physicians and researchers. The Play Zone at Diamond Children’s Medical Center will be a non-medical, supportive environment for kids where they can ask questions, build coping mechanisms, reduce anxiety, and prepare for treatments in a bright, positive environment. Children will also participate in recreation and therapeutic play, which can ultimately improve children’s emotional outlook and uplift their mood.

“I’ve had the opportunity to provide clinical care to patients in a play zone and the magic of the space is truly incredible,” says Hadley Trull, associate director of Child Life, Diamond Children’s. “The honest conversations that come from a relaxed environment and the creative outlet this space provides are unlike anything that can be offered in a hospital room.”
