What makes the '32 Ford so iconic? | Chip Foose Draws a Car - Ep. 1

[@aaronbehindbars]

Couple of thoughts: 1.) Chip should do an automotive podcast where he discusses design and customization 2.) Those sharpie sketches need to be framed and displayed. I would be honored to have one hanging on my wall

[@victorbitter583]

It would have great if they got him to sign a few and have a few viewer comp give aways.

[@theJellyjoker]

Shirts!

[@keysersoze1296]

Picked the idea right of my noggin, you did! Mebbe gather up a dozen for an auction with proceeds going to charity?

[@jamiemoffatt50]

His shop manager said his finished drawing are $10,000 a piece. He does some good KZbin videos explaining a lot.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

It’s amazing that his three minute sketches are great examples of our automotive art. He’s an artist that is just as good with paper and pen as he is with English Wheel and Paint.

[@randykirchhevel7311]

My dad is a really great artist and my dad was drawing cars from memory my dad has been into cars ever since he was a kid. He would get on his bike and go looking for car parts which he knew alot of the farmers and they would either give him parts or he would do some farm work for them. My dad love to put a model cars together and draw cars. I was really amazed how he could draw a car 3 dementional which would should a top view a side view. When my dad was in shop class when he was 16 his dad my grandpa happen to find a 32 ford 5 window coupe on a farm which was not to far from the local dirt track and lots of guys passed through and some didn't think it was a 32 ford and they passed on it. Anyways my Grandpa bought the car and brought it home and thought it would take a lot of work to fix and so he decided to give it to my dad so my grandpa decided to build his 29 model a 5 window coupe. It just so happens my dad was good friends with the guys who had the 32. My dads 32 ford 5 window was a Moon shine runner which my dad took me over to the place when I was a kid and they told me and my dad the story behind the car and the original owner of the car. My dad was also a body man never went to school he just happen to have the talent. He actually got a job at a body shop and learned on the job. Another thing my dad could do was make his own Toy metal cars when he was a kid. He told me how he would use old lacker paint thinner cans and he would cut the cans open flatten the tin out and then draw the body on the tin then cut it out then he would bend it and shape it. For his frame he would use old radios which had metal frames and then he would get some old outside TV antennas to make the axles. My dad said when you lived out on the farm you could not go to town often. he said you had to make things happen to have fun or entertaining. He also had a sand box and would play with gravel trucks. My Grandpa was also build model airplanes. He made homemade go carts for my dad. My grandpa built a 332 police interceptor engine for his 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door post which it happened to be a Police car it had a old spot light on it. My Grandpa had lots of different brands of cars and had great things to say about all of them but my Grampa and Dad loved the old Fords probably more my dad the Grandpa. But my dad could tell any car if he saw just hair of it coming far down the road of saw it clear on a farm in tall weeds even if you could not see it. That's how good he was knowing his cars. My Grandpa was strange he loved old Ford cars and pickups but for some reason he loved GMC and Chevy pickups saying they never say as high from the factory as a Ford which he claims they were easy to get in and get out of. My dad's younger Brother my uncle was also a Mechanic and somehow he liked the Ford pickups better he also circle tracked Fords and he restored old tractors.

[@harleyrobertson73]

Haven't seen Foose for years, his designs are now a classic, now he's become one of the old time hot rodders, also remember watching American hot rod, focusing on Boyd Coddington hot rod shop it was the first custom car show I ever watched

[@ToomasTelling]

Jup i watched too. Every episode and the only guy i thought was an ass was the shop foreman.

Not Boyd cottington! Got a big head! No true car guy!!

[@ftby59mikeD]

..on a more personal note, sorry to have heard of the passing of Chip's father. He was no doubt a great influence. Thx Hagerty.

[@scotthruska]

Chip you are an amazing sketch artist. You should have a museum do a show of all the drawings you have.

[@shakespeare_hall4788]

Has anyone else noticed these guys , including his competitors all have the ability to draw the cars they wanna build Iv'e watched a lot of these guys and they all are artists and probably started out that way !!

[@kentbullard6917]

I have a sharpie exactly like his. But mine won't do that.

[@snoopu2601]

Awe I bet if you keep practicing it will how do you think Chip got like that from doing it over and over again once you get line's and circles down packed then you put them together you will come up with drawings.

[@RalphSampson...]

There's your first issue. It's not a Sharpie. It's a Prismacolor art marker. I'm just messing. You are so right. The dude has skills.

[@kentbullard6917]

SNOOP U 2 Maybe, but I have absolutely no artistic talent, so not in the cards for me.

[@snoopu2601]

@@kentbullard6917 well maybe not in markers but I'm shire you have hidden talent in you some where.

[@aimDiego]

@@kentbullard6917 talent is an excuse used by those too lazy to practice, skills are developed, maybe some people have it easier than others, but I've seen people with no hands painting beautiful pieces, so if you want to do it, you have to start somewhere.

[@revzillo]

Being an artist myself , when l first saw Chip Foose doing his car designs on Overhaulin l was in awe, this guy is a genius in automotive art design especially when it comes to hot rods , many thanks fir sharing this 👍

[@THE_Michael_Westen]

That was always my favorite part on Overhaulin, the drawing of the cars. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@ronstewart9792]

That beautiful grille shell is what made me fall in love with them back in 1953 when I was 13 years old. Thanks for a great video. Ron

[@FarmAlarm]

Look at those 32 roadsters racing with those *Bias ply Tires,* Awesome! I'm glad i just put Bias ply Tires on my 49

[@stevejanka361]

Good morning Chip, the absolute ease and effortless ability that you have really amazes me. Years ago at the Auburn auto auction you drew a deuce coupe and a thunderbolt for me. I just stood there with my mouth hanging open. They are still beautiful and framed in my office today. Great memories. Thanks and good luck on you and your wife's car.

[@wtfftw24]

Lines... beautiful lines.. timeless. All those words give me peace on my mind..

[@mick_1949]

How magical can this bloke draw within proportions this good. Your a Champion Chip Foose!

[@tkskagen]

So, why haven't we heard/seen Chip Foose around lately (past 5-10 years)? He has ALWAYS been my inspiration for Design and Fabrication! Thanks for sharing this video! 😎 Take care, 🤓 -Thomas Western Washington State

[@user-sk5cv7hj2m]

I’ve restored a number of 30-34 fords and chevys and the biggest pain is getting it straight around the hinges they suck. And the fenders suck just as much. But the hard work and attention to detail pay off in the end.

[@ddcraun]

I don't know what's cooler, the design analysis, or watch Foose draw with such honesty.

[@ltdees2362]

👍...Chip, I'm 70...been following you since...well...since you where you❕ I would give my right arm to sketch like that...but then...I wouldn't be able to sketch...🤣...my fantasy car...69 Nova 396...Keep doing what you do brother 😎

[@bucketinabag]

In high school, I would spend most of my classes sketching my (first car) 87 Nissan Sentra 2 door. Just like that. Learning the wheel wells and body lines threw pen and paper. I had so many hopes and dreams for that car. Some including a 4x4 frame. And also street stock. I truly miss those days. I ove cars. I never got past regular maintaince but loved that car so much.

[@dadsvespa]

Chip, you are absolutely right about the 32 Ford. Explaining the genius inspired design by drawing it, makes that fact perfectly clear to "us"..."we" dullards! lol! You being the incredible artist you are, can think and draw in 3 dimensions. Maybe even into the 4th and 5th dimensions ! lol !.

[@johnbehneman1546]

Great video Chip!!!! Great design is timeless. You are right. The '32 Ford is the PB& J to the hot rodding community. And that is what hot rodding is all about. Making something great, even better.

[@robvanza]

Awesome experience just listening to Chip and the amount of knowledge this man has on cars! Car Custom Master! He can make a great looking car look even better!

[@kitdinker]

With 3 strokes of a pen on paper you can see that it’s a 32 Ford. Amazing, Chip!

[@LarryLane07]

The 32 5 Window Coupe is always been my favorite hot rod and the 55 Chevy 210 Sedan it's always been my second favorite

[@erikpreiss1512]

Just Incredible to watch Chip sketching. 😊😊😊

[@damcleandetailing]

The way he speaks about this car is making every woman jealous that men aren’t talking about them the same way! In all seriousness, this man “gets it” and perfectly articulates what we “see” in certain cars or designs. Just extremely beautiful, elegant designs that’ll remain timeless, like the statues of ancient civilizations, you can only stare in awe!

[@tumblelake63]

You're not just a car guy. You are a true artist.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Fanatastic video! Chip Foose is a living legend. Would be great to do a giveaway on those drawings. They would look great framed.

[@snoopu2601]

Yes or sell a book if copies of all his drawings and a little something about the car/truck why he came up with the design. Those book's if not all would sell out off the shelf it would make the best seller of the year.

[@deedler5687]

He truly is a master in many respects.

[@dougg1075]

More of these drawing cars!

[@cameronvandygriff7048]

Theres so many interesting ideas to do with that generation of ford the fact that people still come up with ideas is what gives so much freedom to do anything you can imagine on them

[@deeswildlifeoregon626]

This has been my favorite car for 30 years now. I'm in my mid 40's & built this car model twice as a teen & always wanted a real one . Would even love a kit car reproduction since a real one is way too expensive .

[@Poop-sb1fe]

My dad's friend has a 32 ford coop that's been in their family since 32 that runs perfectly and had somechow remain completely unmodified and just sitting in it still makes you glad seatbelts exist.

[@rond5661]

Great piece, hope you have him back again to discuss topic like this. Thanks

[@nkkilgore8592]

Absloutely AWESOME video! Chip Foose IS "The Man"!!!!!!!!!! Love the '32 Ford. Always have, since I was a kid. (That was a lonnnnnnng time ago!) Always wanted to build a '32 Ford Tudor. Black, of course, or "Black Cherry".

[@BarterBales]

As a student in graphics technology this series rocks!! Keep up the good work!

[@t.d.mich.7064]

Talent like Chip's only comes along once in a great while!

[@allendaigle6351]

You are a amazing chip I miss your pops I love his old 56 shop truck the way you sloped hood was kool

[@ftby59mikeD]

Who can argue with Mr. Foose, timeless & quite an achievement for designers of that era. If anyone is familiar with Bushtec trailers, you'll understand their fascination with the '32 in the design of their 'Roadstar' model.

[@nicholasdickson3891]

Thanks Chip! I’ve drawn these cars my whole life and do it from memory just like you but this video reminded me about a few small details I have been leaving out.

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE THE 32 FORD BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS EVELVING!!! IT IS ALWAYS CHANGING AND ADAPTING!!! I NEVER GET BORED WITH A 32 FORD.

[@laszlodesimon4768]

You are truly the greatest design builder of my lifetime. Thank you for sharing your talents and expertise!

[@acdii]

My daughter is a natural at free hand sketching and has made some great animal sketches and dragons, with color blends just like Chip. I need her to watch this master at work so she can improve. She's only 14 , so has a long way to go to get to be like Foose.

[@farrendavis4143]

would love to have a few of those sketches! thanks Chip!

[@daveanderson5680]

Foose’s “Impression” is probably the best looking car I’ve ever seen

[@robis40]

Somewhere I have a picture of a mid 60's Ford Galaxie 500 he designed. I'd love to have that car.

[@patrickseals5746]

Great Artist, I have loved every car he has done. He draws with a sharpie and makes it look easy.

[@MrGGPRI]

Actually the 1932 Ford "18" (V8) is the iconic model; the 1932 model "B" mounted the obsolete Model "A" 4 banger engine but both did use the same bodies for the year.

[@whitebear96]

i could watch this aaaall day.

[@VacFink]

I hope this series continues with other cars from Foose's approach as well as other designers on other models. Great content!

[@johnbehneman1546]

Seems like a lot of people want to talk to him when he's eating. (He's Always Courteous With These People)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😉👍 ....Guess we're just to polite but would love to meet him someday.👍

I think the one my Uncle has is a '32... He's had all sorts of cool cars and motorbikes. I remember his awesome '72 (I think) Corvette Stingray... Gods that was an awesome car...

[@fredericrike5974]

Hagerty, I hope you can get this Foose to continue on this series- or even bring some of his many friends from the "biz' in to demonstrate some of the others ideas.

[@rdyer8764]

How cool is that!?! Just a Sharpie and a piece of paper. I love watching a guy with real talent using it. My drawing talents with a Sharpie are limited to tic-tac-toe boards.

[@zeusallmighty04]

this is watching an absolute master, at work. wow.

[@aerial_camera_video_imaging]

CF is such a great talent and understands how to keep the hot rod alive in today's car design style story.

[@rebuildit]

Now that was cool. Would love to have the ability to see things in my mind and transfer to paper.

[@jong8024]

[@lukasgarage956]

[@sireuchre]

I like how he isn't even working from a reference image of any kind. He does that with models he doesn't visit often, but he clearly has every detail of the '32 embedded in his brain.

[@stenny1970]

I have wanted a 32 Ford 5 window since I saw it on American Graffiti. Love that car!

[@daledurbin2354]

The ART, not in the Sharpie but in the hand.

[@Jones4Dragon]

This is a great video. 32 ford is my favorite car of all time and I had no idea about the differences in the bodies . What was it like designing the boyster and having it come to life for the 1st time?

[@phillipleeds296]

Fascinating, thanks. Great sketches.

[@richardknowles5818]

Great video Chip, as to the doors, the roadster only had 2 hinges so the door was shorter to reduce weight, the 3 and 5 window had 3 hinges so could support extra weight of longer door.

[@JohnDoe-ls1vd]

I always figured the door on the coupe was short cuz with the top down, you didn't need the room to get in..body vs just legs.

[@planpitz4190]

First thing you are taught in design school : First measure wheel base and draw wheels then build on that. Foose starts in the front 3/4 view with the radiator and builds on that.....he has done that 32 drawing so often he knows the dimensions by feel.

[@jcollif]

Where do we buy prints of these sketches!!!! Pleeeeease!

[@siccreations1287]

I love the 1936 Ford pickup grill the best!

[@Cartier_specialist]

Styling genius at work.

[@morgansword]

ITS JUST NOT FAIR. I can scratch on paper for hours trying to get the detail and shape and he comes in with the marker pens that have little control of the shape or sharp lines and you look like you took a picture of it running. Its why he is the no., one car designer in the world!! His talent is unchallenged

[@kirkjohnson9353]

I have never seen such a display of talent in my life. It blows my mind.

[@nomadenview]

Maybe years of practice...maybe

[@snoopu2601]

Can't wait to see what your wife's 32 is going to look like. Your Brass 1932 that is going to resemble a Dusson Burge that I hope I live long enough to see! Yes I thought I seen Every kinda 1932 been done, but the Brass car like the old trombone, saxophone all the other brass bands tribute car to that Erie when they had full bands in the 20's 30's and 40's

[@vincentbarkley9121]

[@user-mo7ck7nc8z]
