Ern Harewood of Victoria owned this ’32 Ford sports coupe nicknamed ‘Little Sport’ in the 1960s and ’70s.
The channelled body had a black vinyl top and cycle guards on all corners.
It is pictured in 1962 to be powered by a flathead Ford with an air scoop grafted onto the bonnet top.
Other images depict a change from this set up, including a Ford Windsor 289ci V8 and a polished firewall.
Further upgrades included a round-tube front axle and pinstripe whitewall tyres.
Ern sold the car to Maurie Stevens in the 1970s and as of 2008 was still in Maurie’s possession. [1]
