Emerson Glazer’s 1933 Ford Fordor
The subscriber cover of TRJ #48 features Emerson Glazer’s 1933 Ford Fordor. The accompanying article examines the contradicting elements of this car. On one hand it is a comfortable family sedan, but on the other hand it is still an aggressive, traditionally-inspired Ford hot rod. When Emerson bought this sedan, it was a ’70s style yellow street rod. He took it over to Pete Chapouris at So-Cal Speed Shop in Pomona, California and the two developed a plan that brought this Fordor to its current state. This article explains all of the hot rod aesthetics of this car as well as the family-friendly amenities.
