A gleaming black,
PPG-painted 1934 Ford was named
America’s Most Beautiful Roadster at the 62nd Grand
National Roadster Show held recently in Pomona,
Calif.
The sleek roadster, owned by Daryl Wolfswinkel, was
built by Doug Jerger and his crew at Squeeg’s
Kustoms in Chandler, Arizona. Jerger’s team spent
about 18 months designing, building, and painting
the car. They chose PPG’s Deltron® single-stage DCC
Concept® Acrylic Urethane to give it the lustrous
black
“Those guys at PPG have it all
together,” said Jerger. “Their paint always shoots
and sprays right and looks great. We use only PPG
products, been using them since the shop opened in
1964 and started with Ditzler.”
The traditionally styled roadster features an
aluminum block 427 Ford engine jacked up to churn
out more than 700 horsepower, a luxurious brown
leather interior, and distinctive nickel-plated
wheels.
This was the second time Squeeg’s
Kustoms built this particular roadster. It was
originally designed and made for Wolfswinkel by
Jerger’s father, Squeeg, in the early 1980s. The
car was rebuilt in 2008 and taken to the Grand
National Roadster Show as an example of the shop’s
capabilities. It was their first America’s Most
Beautiful Roadster win.
The team is now
working on another Wolfswinkel project car for the
2013 show, hoping to make it two in a row.
