1934 Ford Roadster "Sweet Sixteen", the Veyron's hot rods

Posted by Groove Sunday, January 16, 2011



The 16-cylinder engines are works of art. Or find them in classic high-flying with special bodywork, or find them in exotic and expensive supercars. What is not so common is to find a V16 engine in a Ford Roadster, 1934. And is the idea that the U.S. has materialized Jack Bowser when creating JB Special Formon, an exotic, hot rod power to give and give that some have dubbed the "Sweet Sixteen".

The idea for creating a wine inspired by reading old magazines, hot-rodding, where Bowser found that in the 40's the brothers Hal and Bill Ulrich transplanted an eight-cylinder Duesenberg home in a Ford Roadster. Jack wanted his car to be more special and decided to install under the hood a huge V16 engine of 8.1 liters of displacement from a Marmon Sixteen, a luxury sedan that only 400 units were built in the early 30's.
