1932 FORD SPEEDSTER

The 1932 Ford Speedster is one of the oddest cars of the end of the Model-T era in the United States. The car was created by company designer, Eugene Gregorie and Henry Ford’s son, Edsel Ford, and was extremely long and sat low to the ground. The Speedster included a flathead V-8 engine and even had a start button for the engine many decades before this would become a standard feature throughout the auto industry. The original concept for the flathead V-8 and ignition system had been discussed in concept several years earlier, but Ford held off on expanding production of vehicles with the technology for business reasons for several years.
