Amidst the glitter that can be Hall 1 at Toronto, Ontario, Canada’s Performance World Custom Car Show last March sat somewhat of an anomaly. That is, a stark display featuring a very traditionally-styled, understated hot rod. Specifically, Fabrice Monceaux’s Speedster Special. While not well known in English-speaking Canada, Fabrice is the editor/publisher of Quebec’s V8 Passion magazine. Together with Delson PQ’s CCR Technologie, Fabrice definitely made a statement and, in the process, created a beautiful tribute to the roots of hot rodding.
The car is based on a new 1931 Ford Roadster body with a Deuce radiator shell, a Model A frame, a 348 c.i. Chevy mated to a T5 transmission and a quick change rear end out back. The complete package features many tasty details.
Oh, by the way, the Speedster Special copped the Grand Champion honours.
