This ’32 Ford is a steel Brookville steel-bodied roadster that was built around 2004 by Troy Ladd of Hollywood Hot Rods as part of the television show Rides. Dubbed “Little Sister”, it was one of two that were built for Jon Riddle and displayed at the 2005 Grand National Roadster Show, with the pair being awarded 3rd and 4th in class, and Riddle went on to drive the car to shows on the West Coast for several years. It was featured in Hot Rod magazine in 2007 and won “Hottest Hot Rod” at Goodguys Pacific Northwest Nationals in 2024. The custom build rides on a So-Cal chassis with a Chassis Engineering 4″ drop axle, hairpin radius rods, and a buggy-style rear leaf spring setup with ladder bars as well as staggered American Rebel wheels. Power comes from a 350ci V8 with triple Rochester carburetors, and the 700R4 automatic transmission is linked to a Ford 9″ rear end. So-Cal drum-look disc brakes are fitted up front, and the car also has lake-style headers, a dual exhaust system, chrome spreader bars, a drilled steering wheel, and Stewart-Warner instruments. The seller acquired the car in 2021, and in 2023 a rebuilt transmission was installed. Little Sister is now offered with 2023 records and a Washington title in the seller’s name listing the car as a 1932 Ford.

The car is built on So-Cal Speed Shop Deuce rails that were powder-coated and finished with paint. The all-steel body from Brookville is painted blue, and chrome spreader bars are fitted front and rear. The car has a Duvall-style windshield and a slatted grille insert. Flaws in the paintwork are depicted in the gallery.

The car rides on transverse leaf springs with hairpin radius rods and a Chassis Engineering 4″ drop axle, radius rods out back, and 15×4.5″ and 16×10″ American Rebel alloy wheels with staggered tires. The drum-look front disc brakes are from So-Cal.

Ivory leather with contrasting blue piping covers the seat, which has a center armrest with cup holders. German square-weave carpeting lines the floor. The shifter and pedals are from Lokar.

The Stewart-Warner gauges have screen-printed Hollywood Hot Rods logos. They are set in a machined Auburn-style gauge panel from Knecht Equipment, and the four-spoke wheel is from Budnik. The seller has driven 1,500 of the 3,700 indicated miles, which represents the mileage on the build.

The 350ci V8 is a crate motor that was delivered for the build by Camee Edelbrock. It is topped by Edelbrock aluminum heads, finned valve covers, and a tri-power aluminum intake manifold with three Rochester carburetors. Patriot supplied the lake-style headers. The oil was changed ~500 miles ago.

The car was originally built with an Art Carr 700R4 automatic, and the seller had a rebuilt transmission installed in 2023. The 9″ rear end has a limited-slip differential and 3.73 gears.
The car is titled as a 1932 Ford Roadster using VIN 0310040417, which the seller cannot locate. The title carries an Antique brand.
