A few years back I bought a NOS Model T Ford frame extention, thing was 13 1/2 FEET long. Strapped my hand cart to one end and wheeled it back to my spot, about a 1/4 mile away. Had no need for it, but it was a good deal, bought it from a friend that has since passed on. There are so many spirits and memories in Hershey that week. Bob

Skidmarks ...

Cannot make Hershey this year.

While Hershey is still the best swap meet on the East Coast ...
There seems to be very little 32 Ford stuff there anymore.

The Los Angeles Roadster swap meet is a better swap meet for me.

But I truely enjoy going to Hershey.

Maybe I will see you in 2013 ... @ Hershey.

Its hit or miss but you still see a lot of the common parts like firewalls grills and atleast 100 rear spare tire carriers

. Berg always has a nice selection of 32 parts.
Its so big with so many people looking for the same stuff it sells fast

It can't be more than 6 years since that guy from Utah I think had the old Hot Rod '32 3Window that he would have taken $16,000.for in the Chocolate field. Wonder if he sold it or took it back home? Bob

Was it blue with a heavy channel? Missing the drive train? I remember a couple old hotrodded 33-4 coupesabout 5 or so years ago. Not all old car people are involved with the current hobby and some stuff turns up dirt cheap. Maybe I shouldn't say that out loud.

**The37Kid** · 10-06-2012, 04:52 PM

I think we're talking about the same car, it had the look, as I remember it had several colors on the bodywork. Bob

Was the wagon in a million pieces? If so I saw it, guess the 3Window is the one we're talking about. Bob

skidmarks · 10-06-2012, 05:25 PM

I saw the wagon in a pile in the back corner of the paved part of the orange field

**jreeder41** · 10-06-2012, 05:56 PM

Yeah wasn't it in the very last row before it drops down to the car corral? If so my buddy looked it over for awhile trying to decide if we could do it lol.

noboD · 10-06-2012, 06:03 PM

I remember the 3 window too. Wasn't the guy that had it the guy with the Crocker MC stuff, owns the name, wears a CB hat?

Wow, missed that. Doesn't look near as bad as it sounded. Why didn't Sawzall drag this home?

skidmarks · 10-06-2012, 06:20 PM

That's the same wagon I saw. What was there looked to be in really good shape.

I don't recall the owner of the 3 window just remember the car. The 33/4 I sorta remember being orange with a diamond tuff interior also had no drivetrain too.

Anyone hear what cool race cars that have been entered for the show?

because it wasn't free haha

**The37Kid** · 10-06-2012, 06:30 PM

Nice, looks like it still has factory paint. Are the sidewindows the slide up in track type or snap on? Bob

skidmarks · 10-06-2012, 06:34 PM

Did all 32 wagons use truck cowl and grill?

Last year I sold the back half of a 31 woody wagon at Hershey. I had the cowl 2 yrs before and it all ended up being from the same car. Wish I had gotten all of it together when I got the cowl. The rear half was buried in a fallen in shed and forgotten when the owner started selling off his junk collection

**The37Kid** · 10-06-2012, 07:20 PM

I found the remains of a 1931 Ford Special Delivery the woody version of a sedan delivery, at the town dump back in the 1960's, rareist Model A Body I ever had. Bob
