Hot Rods 1932 5W Parked in 1952

She had you at the oatmeal raisin cookies. Oldest trick in the book.

Great find and story.

 

Great car. Great story.

 

THAT will buff out!

 

It's nice to know there are good folks out there. As was said, on both sides of the story. Congratulations on the find of a lifetime.

 

Haha, You are right. She also sent some home with us. We ate them all the way back to Milwaukee.

 

Wow, now you have not one but two 5ws. I suppose this one will retain its fenders though?
Oh I hope you leave the wheel, it sure as stink is not cookie cutter.

Congratulations, I am well aware of how difficult it is to negotiate with a widow on a car that is near and dear to their heart,it's tantamount to walking on egg shells. HRP

 

Absolutely. I don't know many Milw folks yet always anxious to meet some like minded hot rodders.

 

Wow, great story. You managed to acquire something that I am sure many many people have failed to do through the years.
Now, go buy a lottery ticket......

 

Still shaking my head!

 

outstanding Tim!

 

PM me if you'd like.

 

Great find, thanks for sharing the story. The steering wheel is 1946 Dodge. I learned to drive on one of those.

 

Thanks for the info. And yes, the wheel will be staying with the car.

 

Just all around awesome!
To think the 32 was only 20 years old when it was parked!
Good deal on the title. You'll feel comfort once that arrives. Hopefully she scanned a safety copy.

 

Man, that is a great story....love these kinds of car finds scenario's.... and the whiff of homemade cookies in the air!!!....doesn't get much better than that!

 

Looks like a DeSotomwheel. I have a 5W exactly the same colour combo, blue,green, rust. LOL. Did you look around the shed for the missing seat, tank, and floor?

 

Looks like a great score.Oatmeal/raisin cookies fresh out of the oven?Only thing better is MORE.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

What a great find and well written story to go with it. Look forward to the rebuild. Bob

 

He has THREE 32 5 windows now...... he's a horder (I'm jealous as can be)
congrats Tim!!

 

Great story. I would mail her a check for the $500.

 

So glad you were able to get it Tim! Tell the family hello from Emily and me please!

 

Nice find, please keep the updates coming.. congrats!

I looked all over the place for missing parts. No luck.

 

Hello back!

 

Forget the Maltese Falcon, that car is the thing that dreams are made of.

Congratulation on a great find and I look forward to the progress pics. You've got a great adventure with your son ahead.

 

I'm looking forward to some pics of the car with 64 years of dirt and dust washed off it. You can search here on the HAMB for a thread on how to properly wash the dirt off of a barn find... LOL!! That one stirred up some laughs.

 

Glad to see someone got this 32. That old car was in good shape. I heard that old man passed away.
That coupe was only about about an 45 mins from where i live. Seen it quite a few times
when i went to the old yard. Did you trip over a hemi when you went in that old shed?

 

Great story, great car, great pics. What are your plans?

 

Thankyou for telling us all about the 5W and sharing the images.
Good things come to good people!
