Grapecicle sounds like a delectable ice cream dessert but in the case of Street Rods it is a delectable 1948 Ford Deluxe Coupe. It is fondly named Grapecicle because of its color, a special mix of purple. Lee Goulet from Southwick Massachusetts owns this delightful Street Rod. It has a 327 motor, Chevy 350 transmission with shift kit, 10-bolt rear and 70 Chevelle front-end. The exhaust is turbo and glass pak.

A very pleasurable white leather with purple piping fills the interior. The body is chopped 4inches and channeled 3 ½ inches.

Lee has owned this Street Rod for 18 years and enjoys showing it at Cruise Nights such as “The SandTrap” on Tuesday nights in Agawam, Massachusetts.
