You can go back to the '50s, but it's expensive.

Thousands of 1932 Ford hot rods have been built in garages, driveways, and backyards in this country since the '50s, but this is the first all-steel '32 to be built in volume using contemporary OEM construction techniques and design software.

It's the Dearborn Deuce Convertible, a cooperative venture between Hot Rods & Horsepower of Branford, Connecticut, and ASC of Southgate, Michigan. H&H provides the frames, the suspensions, and the retailing muscle, and ASC designed and builds the heavily modified all-steel body shells using CATIA software, the same as that used throughout the industry.
