Bert Mouron's 1932 Ford Roadster

Bert Mouron of San Marino, California. Around 1951 Bert bought Mac Schutt's 1932 Ford roadster. After buying Mac's award winning roadster, Bert set out to improve the car after his own likings. He confronted his father with his intensions before he started the build. Bert's dad supported the build one hundred per cent as long as he followed the laws governing street roadsters, and as long as he could turn it in to one of the sharpest looking jobs around town. Bert's dad owned a large machining plant, so the roadster was taken to the plant to have the engine removed. The engine was delivered to Ray Brown's Speed Shop in Los Angeles for a complete rebuild. Back at the plant, Bert's roadster attracted a lot of attention from the employees, and it didn't take long time before a team of skilled guys volunteered to help build the roadster. In addition to Bert and his dad, the team did now consist of experienced machinists and metal men. Bert's version of the roadster was featured in Car Craft December 1953. Bert went on to road racing Siata 208s cars in Santa Barbara. He did well. Later he became a superior court judge for L.A. County.
