Love the story and the car, the end of the rainbow!

 

Great story and car. Enjoy! Chances like this don't come along often.

 

congrats to you! what a find! i know how it feels to get this lucky! its going to be a great car.

 

Tim,
Great score bud......and as Larry would say (make note to self to remove Tim from friends list)
You are living the dream my friend......

 

Great story with a happy ending - good luck on your two phased plan and I look forward to seeing you and the coupe down the road ....

 

Nice story, people, and beautiful find!

 

Thanks for all the great comments hamb friends.

Betty called me early today just to make sure I got the title. She's such a great lady. I reminded her when she and her son are ready to let me know and I will start listing some of their cars.

Here's another pic of the coupe. I like looking at it.

 

Love this story, glad I'm moving to Wisconsin!!

 

Good to see you got at least one Kelsey wheel. Remember that the wire wheels need to run with mechanical brakes and the solid wheels need the hydraulic brake drums or YOU WILL NEED ADAPTERS/SPACERS.

Great story so far!

 

Yep, I'm aware of the spacers and I have 4 more of the Kelseys. I will most likely use those when I build it.

 

Love it. Can't wait to see it when it's on the road.

 

Nice... seems like a person runs into these old cars when you least expect it... good luck and have fun!

 

Still out there! Great find! Show us some build pics.

 

Wow, not only a great find, but you told it well.
Very cool.

 

Great find with excellent story! Congratulations!! Great car to build with your son.
Is the motor free to turn? Could be yard driving soon enough.

 

Great story and a great find! looking forward to more progress!

 

I was at the shop tonight and couldn't resist. Cleaned a spot on the cowl that looked like surface rust.
If the rest of the body cleans up this nice, I will be super stoked.


I'm really dig'n this car. (Even though deuce owners are in trouble, haha)

 

My wife said my dinner was getting cold. I'd still be over there right now otherwise.

 

When/ Where are you moving.

 

Yeah, in 5 years you won't be able to give that car away. Have fun with it....That will be a great car bring back to life.

 

That's some patina! I would be out there all night shining her up!

 

It makes me uneasy that you call her an old lady since purchasing the car after being owned by her late husband for over 65 years. Or maybe I`m just feeling jelous.

 

I only called her old lady so some people wouldn't Google search her, she's not ready to be found yet. I'd call her by name otherwise. She's a sweet lady.

Excellent story and EPIC find! Good to see you did well by the widow! That's how I got my '31 Model A....Owner died, mutual friend contacted me (doing the same thing you're offering), and a deal was struck! For owners/owner's wives, knowing that the car won't be flipped speaks to their heart! It worked for me, too! Mine is still waiting in the wings, but its day will come....

What did you use to clean that patch of cowl? I'd like to try that on my '31 Tudor...

 

Are you two eluding to some rumor of a demise to our 32 hobby/life that I am not privy to?

There's a thread on the main board that talks of the peak in the Deuce world and that prices may be coming down.

 

Wow. Just....WOW!

 

Great car, greater story, congrats.
One never knows when they'll be in the right place at the right time.
