gettin' sick of 32 fords

[lilbill]

ok, a 32 ford roadster is kinda like the poster child for hotrodding but personally i'm gettin' pretty burned out seein' em everywhere. it's like all these car builders on tv can only make '32 ford clones. (maybe a 33 once and awhile). i'd like to see something different for a change like some studes or buicks or caddys. is it just me ?

1932

Ford Model 18 Deluxe Roadster

Serial No. D1948C7. The 1932 V-8 Deluxe Roadster is a Dearborn National Champion. It is correct in all aspects. It’s a car I’ve owned for close to 15 years and scored in the high 900’s out of a possible 1,000 points. It features all the options available in 1932, including the authentic 1932 radio and the quail radiator cap. It is one of the highest point 1932 Roadsters in the country.

Maybe it's not the car that is boring. Maybe it's just what people are doing with them that is boring. Most guys are afraid to do something different. There's a whole lot more model A's out there but people seem to do different things with them. I guess when you spend crazy money on the stuff it's harder to take a chance on doing something different.

bought a 32 from arkansas in 88,piad 34 thous for it and it is the sister car to that one,cept it gets driven,41 thousand miles on it,,stuff is crazy for them friend with his 32 ,runs a bunch of collectible shops, and last month a guy comes in with a NOS 32 ford drivers front fender,with the ford tag still on it , came from way up north he said, my buddy managed to give him 200 for it,nice guy that he was , the fender is worth 3 thousand , and has a couple of people that want it for that, but he says it is a good start on building one ,just needs a few more parts

I saw that roadster Troy "built" it really was cool.Lots of good ideas and different stuff.Like the curved rear spreader bar and curved gas tank.The heater turned speaker box was brillant.Big bucks I know.But at least it still loks like a 32,I hate when cars are all changed and don't look like what the started as.

100K for a perfect stocker?Sounds like a bargain when you think that "Project 36" (as seen on TV) had a build cost almost 5 times that! If I was a rich man I would buy it.

I have been scrounging for 5 years to build mine.Started with crap and built it myself(with help)I have less then the cost of a Brookville body in the whole damn car!
Everytime I walk into the garage....well it just makes me feel good.I do love 32 Fords!

I have another really rough 32 roadster that will be put back together as a channelled car (it is now)with loud pipes and maybe a big IRON CROSS on the decklid!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

couple tiems a year we take a bunch of old cars over to the vets home ,and all the old guys flock to the 32,it was the car that changed the way people lived,and functioned, as bad as the car is ,motor wise and so small ,never had one turn his nose at em,if you were there when they came out and got to have one to customize in the 40's you could buy one for 40 bucks,heard that once i heard it a thousand times

[/ QUOTE ]32 was the first v-8 car...anything early ford pretty much bolts up if you know the right parts in a time when people didnt have acess to welders like we do now you could bolt in a late model hot merc flathead a 39 box and a 40 rear with out really too much mods then rip off the fenders and you had a light weight hotrod

in 33 the cars started becomming heavier lighter yet was an A or T on 32 frame but that was more work than just modifying a 32

a 32 was still boxy like an A but much more refined ...they're just bitch'n i like all early fords but 32-34s are my favorites

unless its a 1-800 car ..no two hot rods are alike each one ive had are completly differntive done something differnt with each chassis, light bar , stance , Ect. thats why not using catolog parts give your car soul!

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I notice people feel better about the stuff they own by acting like 1932 Fords suck. It comes up all the time. How about you just be happy with what you have.

can you imagine a post with a bunch of 32 owners saying how much model A's suck.

Get comfortable with the size of your own penis and fucking move on.

I like 34's best but I wouldnt trade for my 32.

That is cool, man.
We don't all have to agree...
I like a very wide range of styles and brands of cars, including the Deuces ( specially the Coupes ).
Some ( but not all ) of the '20s and '30s cars had really awkward proportions, but the '32 Fords just have great lines IMO...
Unless somebody really fucks one up, they look great with or without fenders...
And there are some '32s that are being built by HAMBers right now that will probably be anything but cookiecutter when they are done.
I understand some people rather see a different make of car, and they should build what they like.
And goes for the '32 owners too, It should not matter if a cerain car already happens to be popular...

If you have a 32 ford and your sick of it.I will gladley take it off your hands http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I will never get sick of any year,make or model of hotrod.....each one is unique in it's own way.....even the stockers......I just have a massive appetite for all things ford http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif(uuhh..72 and down.)

[JimC]

Lilbill, I felt the same way.
Now I own one.
I did not look for it, it found me.
Never planned on keeping it, it is for sale.
But, if it don't sell, I am making plans to make it mine.
It ia hard to build any other car, other than a tri5 or camaro that is saleable as the 32
No matter what you do to a 32, it will still sell.
There is a larger market for them.

[deuce]

when something is right, it's just right. there is no other explanation. when i go to a car show i see more "other" cars than i see '32's. so i guess '32's are still the minority. when something never goes out of style, it's right.

[Morrisman]

Yeah, I'm SICK and TIRED of looking at other peoples, but I would KILL or MAIM to own one myself http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[trey]

i like 32's. i especially like the style of the frame rails. but its getting a little old, everyone wanting one. it will always be that way though. 32's are the 'ultimate' hot rod. everyone wants a 32 or a model a. its evident here too. i can post pictures of my car, get maybe 4 responses. another dude with an a gets about 3 pages. everyone wants to see something different, as long as its a different a or 32.

Roger, I have to tell you this story.
I just returned from driving my 32 after taking the wheel spacers off to test if the tires would get into the body.
My neighbor just west of me was washing his car and he and I chatted for a while.
Now, he is an old car guy and a Ford guy, to boot.
He was commenting favorably on the Burger and Fry event last Friday.
He said he was especially fond of the two tone green Lincoln Zeypher setting across the street.

Guess whose Studebaker he was referring to? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

any one that's sick of there 32's or 32 parts give me a call! i'd love to help you out. there is only one thing better than a 32 and that's two 32's

[lilbill]

i didn't say i didn't LIKE them, i said i'm getting burned out seeing them all over these "rod builder" shows. any halfwit with deep pockets can get some catalogs and throw together a '32 clone. it's like these biker wannabes and their cookie cutter "choppers". a '32 hiboy or chopped coupe (a real one) is a very good looking car but it ain't the goddamn holy grail. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

And Vaphead, so far, NO ONE has explained the attraction of a '32 Ford satisfactorily to me...and I've seen a ton of hot rods/street rods and every '32 I've seen looks exactly like the next one (including YOURS)...even the one Troy Trepanier built...there's no mistaking that it is a '32 Ford...hmmmmm, maybe that is it's ONLY attraction?

Rog,to quote you

[Gotgas]

I hear ya buddy, they don't really do it for me either. I prefer A's and '33-34s over them. But they're undeniably the quintessential hot rod, no doubt about it. They've always been the most popular, probably because they're one-year only and the first V8.

Which reminds me, I saw this frame on the grounds of the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino CA a while back. I don't know enough to identify a chassis by sight, but it does appear to have Ford V8 wheels on it.

Maybe...but the other nite you said "these '32s are so SIMPLE to build...nothing like (and you were referring to BobK's Chevy, so I'll add my own words here:) building a later model car.

Is that what the attraction is: SIMPLICITY?

Someone should tell Jimmy Shine that then...Sunday nite he was worried about a re-popped hood not fitting on a re-popped body and a re-popped grille shell on a half-a-million-dollars to build '32 and he couldn't figure out HOW that happened! Duh! To me, half a million dollars isn't simplicity.

[porknbeaner]

Personally I never really cared for Deuces.
Let me rephrase that, I never really wanted to own one. They're cool but I've always been one to steer away from trendy cars and they have been trendy as long as I can remember.
Today you see so many because as a rule they are kit cars, the pro-builders, no offense to you guys that are really buildin cars, but the guys that jumped on the 1 800 hot rod band wagon, can buy 'em and pop 'em out like babies in the ghetto.
Now show me a real deuce, set up really right, a no BS bare bones hot rod, and I'm impressed. I still don't want one for myself, but I can appreciate a well built, got it in spades, hot rod when I see one. Even a deuce.

RYAN and I passed each other and exchanged a wave on highway 71, North of Joplin, on Sunday.
RYAN- What were your thoughts when you saw my coupe motorin' down the road?
I'd be hurt if you said, "gettin' sick of 32 Fords".


As ratty as it is, my '32 just makes me proud to own and drive. It's an honest to God privilege.
My dad brought it home 34 years ago, so it just sort of happened. Now, I have two other '32s, also... both sedans... I've had others, as well. I'm a deuce magnet I guess.
I appreciate the shit out of other cars, but none (for me) can even come close to a deuce.

Trendy? Not.
There's reasons more people want one and you really don't need to look too deep to see them.
Alot of the reason these guys are building them as "kits" is because the guys that have them just don't want to sell them.

I think a lot more T's and A's were hopped up in the early days than 32's due to availability and low cost.The deuce got popular because of the flathead that it came with and was a natural to hot rod.All the B movies about drag and street racers showed mostly 32's,folks watched those flicks and wanted one too.The car looks killer stock or in hot rod form,the design is simple but everything compliments the other;there's no wasted lines and where are you going to find a simpler classic grill and shell?
I prefer orphans myself;thats why I'm building a '29 Essex,but I would take a 32 in a heart beat;its the essence of whats a hot rod.

I like it that the subject ''32 Ford" gets so many peoples panties in a bunch. I've also noted that the people who don't own one are usually the one's who don't like/want one. The first hot rod I actually fell in love with was Bill Neikamps A roadster that won the first AMBR trophy. Then A deuce roadster came into my life,(actually owned by a neighbor) and things haven't been the same since. I guess Beatnik's slogan tells it best, you either get or you don't.
I live in fear that the government will recall all '32's (real or clone) and I'll either have to give up the 3 that I currently have (not a tupperware one in the bunch) or go into hiding with them. If you hear of a recall just remember the secret door knock or I'll never let you in.

Am I right or wrong about people being less willing to do different things with the 32. Take a 5 window coupe for instance. I told a hot rodder I was going to chop my five window more than the standard 3 1/2". He told me I can't do it,it won't look right. It's my car I'm gonna do it. I don't want it to look like every other five window out there. I'm gonna break some rules! If I would have said I was chopping a model A 5" he would have said "cool".

"NO ONE has explained the attraction of a '32 Ford satisfactorily to me"
Or to me, but it's there!
I grew up in the back seat of my parents' '48 Ford, so early Fords were the natural order of the universe for me, but as a child I was essentially unaware of hot rods and would have had no idea what a '32 was--they certainly weren't generally around in the fifties.
I more or less accidentally acquired a copy of HRM in Panama about 1959 and completely LOCKED ON to all sorts of stuff I had never seen before and didn't begin to comprehend. An early observation: A '31 or 2 Chevy coupe in that first HRM was an interesting car, but didn't rattle my cage. My first known contact with pictures of Deuces immediately hooked me for all time. I knew NOTHING about any of this when it happened, and it's hard to see what the distinction is--to an ignorant civilian like me at the time, there's precious little difference between a '32 Ford and Chevy. By the time I found the first big issue of R&C with those cover roadsters, I was completely gone.
I think people are just miffed at '32 Ford OWNERS, not the cars; We do tend to divide the world into real '32 owners and riff-raff...sorry.

Clark,

A death chop on your five window is going to ROCK! Wonder why those three windows from up your way blew everyone away a few years back and still no one else is willing to do it to their '32?

For me, the death chop is a no brainer.

When are you starting on it?

[Kevin Lee]

Riff-raff eh? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'm gonna own a Deuce five window someday far far away. Aside from a pickup cab the four door sedan probably has to be the cheapest body style, right? Doesn't someone make a conversion with the rear quarters and windows to turn it into a five window?

[fab32]

SoWhat, Go ahead and chop it all you want, it's still going ot be a '32 and IMO it's hard to f**k one up. Some of you may have heard of Gary Roberts who lives in Toledo, Ohio. He has chopped about a gazillion cars. When I first got my '32 5w I called him about chopping it. I wanted something on the order of 3" taken out. His reply was "If your going to chop it, CHOP IT. He had one of the most awesome '32 5ws around at that time and it was chopped 4". His advice is that a '32 5w just starts to look good with 4" out of the top. I've got short legs for my height and I've sat in at least 40 '32 5w's that were chopped. I can't sit up in any that have been chopped over 3 1/2" unless the seat is nothing more than a cushion. I still lust for a 4" chop so we'll see when the time comes.

With so many Deuce-owners reading this post , maybe I could ask for your help ? Well I take my chance http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif : I have those 2 rear fenders you can see below. Both are NOS .I will probably use the roadster-fender for my own project , but I can`t get myself to modify the Tudor-piece to fit the Roadster. Bought a Brookville fender instead. What I was wondering is this : What would be a correct price for the NOS Tudor fender ( in USA ) if I was to sell it ?

Thanks for the kind words. It's still for sale but as you say it's not a real 3W or a 5W with a chopped top. It's too different for most guys.

My real deal 5 window... sold it last fall... and I'm countin' the days till the next one. It will happen. Before that I had a 'glass '32 roadster. I grew up with a wish list of cars to own. Next up is a '40 coupe. Looks like it may happen in the next month or so. When it's done something else will take it's place. Even though the list is long, '32 Fords top it...

Just so we're clear...
What car do you park in your garage?
Is it the '52 Chev pick-up or the VW's that have your vision cut so short?.

Here's a little tip to make your life a little easier, too.
Most steel cars have rain gutters... most glass ones don't.

I've come close to owning a deuce a couple of times...but I have never felt the asking price was even close to reasonable....Too much work...too much rust...too much money..too big of a dickhead selling what they thought was worth a million bucks.

I don't need a deuce....but would buy one if the right deal came along. It's just not a top priority.

You'll never pay too much for a Deuce...you just buy it too soon.

I couldn't afford one when they were 5000. for a show car. When I could afford 5000. they were 10,000. etc. etc. I got tired of lusting after someone elses car. I paid too much for the sport coupe which would be a steal today. I paid too much for the roadster. Both cases I borrowed the money. There would be a long line to buy the roadster for what I paid. I did what I had to do. Only those with the passion will understand. Thank the lord they aren't for everyone.

JOEhttp://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

JYDog...just givin you a hard time. I pretty much like all old cars. Even some that shouldn't be liked. I don't think I was ripping up 32s just making an observation that most 32 owners are stuck in a rut with them. I like seeing different stuff being done. Not that a black car with red wheels is bad there just happens to be too many of them. Simple things like a different chop, different stance, New paint schemes and more need to be done. I'm not one to like channelled cars but I like Tom Branch's car cause it's just a little different. Tommy's sport coupe is cool cause it's a sport coupe. I'd still like it if it was a coupe or a roadster but it wouldn't stand out like it does. Even though the color is ugly on the new Troy roadster it helps to make the car. If it was black it would be a beautiful car but it would loose some of the apeal it has now. My coupe is more than likely going to be black but I hope the rest of the stuff I do will set it apart from the rest of the 32 coupes.

I was serious about my 32 going before my pick up. It's a sentamental thing more than anything. I've had the truck for 15 years and been everyplace with it.

I know where you are on that. Like I said, my 5-window was just about always mine. When dad brought it home, he told me it was going to be mine, and it was. We hauled junk parts for years.
Even after the fire I couldn't sell it. Someone offered me $10,000 for the salvage. Couldn't do it. Hell, I'd let the bank have my house before I'd sell that car.
This one?

OK Time to weigh in with my opinion.
I lke and have owned a large variety of old cars,I just prefer old Fords especially 32,s.
I,ve owned my roadster 22 years and shipped it half way around the world when I moved.I don,t give a rats ass what it,s worth or what other people think of it,just bury me in it when I die.
I think the popularity of 32,s is due to the tradition and history involved and the fact that they are a good looking car.Remove the fenders and they still look cool.

No doubt about that, AuzzieSteve...back when I was in high school -- 1957-1961, kustom car mags on the newstand shelf took precedence over "Hot Rod" mag...living in Iowa, I didn't have money to build anything back then and I drove my Dad's '49 Merc...since Merc's were kustom fodder...I got hooked.

I like hot rods of all kinds...including '32 Fords, but have NEVER had a desire to jump in the middle of a pool filled with '32 Fords. I'd like to think I'm an individual that does not follow a crowd, you know: green vs. red, shiny paint vs. primer, hubcaps vs. billets, orphan makes vs. Ford, driver vs. trailers. Yeah, Yeah...we all march to a different drummer!!!

Since when was a 32 the FIRST V-8 car? News to me......Cadillac predated Ford by 17 (or was it 15?) years with their V-8. Maybe Rolls Royce did too.

True.......that's what I thought.......

The 32 Ford had the first affordable V8............that the common people could buy. Caddy had the V8, V12 AND the V16 before Ford had his V8. Lincoln and some other "high end" cars were V8's. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif


This may come as a shock..........but I also am tired of seeing 32 Fords. Not real ones..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif just all the "sorta" 32 Fords.

Zipper 32 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Harwoods 'long door roadster' http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
The 'improved' 32's ............like the Dearborn Deuce, Boydsters ect.

I asked the Wescott son, at the NSRA Nats a few years back, How many Wescott 32 roadsters had they made? He said " less than 1000.....and you know some of them are not finished or on the road" .............

Throw in Brookville, Gibbons and all <font color="red">THE REST </font> and you are looking at less than 5 thousand repro roadsters......and that's being real loose on the estimate.

Take away a few for ' UNDER CONSTRUCTION ' and we're at 4500 or so. That's still less than half of Ford's production in 1932.


I have owned mine for over 25 years. Saw it at Gatlinburg TN in 1969. Know it's history back to 1941.

Wish everyone hated them...........so I could afford to buy few more...... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

There's nothing wrong with 32's... nice cars. But after going to shows and runs, you become immune to them. Same with 55 and 56 and even 57 Chevies for me. Somehow I'm still tipped over when I see a great 49 Merc. I'm still not tired of those and maybe never will be.
Its the seldom seen stuff that still turns my head.. Chopped Volkswagons, 52 Chevies , 54 Fords, 58 Chevies and some of that fat fendered 30's stuff.
Nothing wrong with a 32 Ford, just seen too many of em I guess.

[unclescooby]

If you are sick of seeing the repop Fords and can't afford the steel ones, check out the two original REO coupes on Ebay and the Buick Coupe (all 1930-1933 models). Still lots of neat other stuff out there. I love it all.
