Hot Rods 1932 5W Parked in 1952

Thanks!
I used some water and a rag to clean it, then I just hand rubbed some Meguiars.

Once I do it for real, I will machine polish it with a light compound, but I will experiment a bit first.

 

Whoooo, that was close. Read through most of that thread. Glad it doesn't pertain to me. I'm building 32s for me, don't give a hoot about if there socially popular. Pretty sure that's true here on the good threads I'm into.

Awesome story.

 

Yes, I'm into mine for about as much as new pickup costs. So when the bottom drop out, I'm going to torch the back of the body off and slide in a pick-up box. I figure, what the hell might as well use it up at that point, it ain't worth much.

 

What a cool story. Total package, neat story, neat car.

 

I have had cold hotdogs and cold shoulders from my wife ever since miss '32 came home....

 

Haha, I know. I tell my wife she has nothing to worry about as my mistresses are all old, have 4 inner tubes, leak a little, have a little skin cancer, but still purrs like a kitten when I pull the knobs and push the right buttons.

 

Tim great find and story somewhat similar on how I got my 33 truck from a widow but I have known her and her late husband looking fowatd to progress on your car

Sam wanted to do some cleaning on the coupe today. Here is a few pics.






Other than the floor, this is a great 32 just as it is.

I'm really happy with how it's cleaning up.

 

Good things happen to good people.
It was your turn.
Congrats.

 

I probably would just look at it as is for a very long time. Looks good and a great story. Are you going to try to crank the motor as you told the old man you would and get it running ?

 

Yes, I'd like to get it running.
It turns over. Not a lot of compression though.

Wanted: 4 banger carb, complete preferred.

 

The best place for Model B 4 banger carbs (and other Model B parts) is rennerscorner.com, (734) 428-8424. They might have a core.

I think you already hijacked it in post 136? How about we get back to the important stuff....Tim's find!

 

OK, fixed, Looks like you are 136

 

cool car, love the old paint!

 

This makes me smile... Awesome car.

 

That´s a find of a lifetime. I´m glad to see it´s in the right hands. Congrats!

 

What a find ! Great Story, you are very fortunate, thanks for sharing & look forward to updates !

 

What a great story!! Even a better find. Wow !! Lucky Guy.. And that steering Wheel is the one I bought and was told it was A Olds after seeing the logo on it like you said a Caddy.Sweet ride..

 

wow, that thing is cool as can be congrats. Love hearing stories like this too.

 

Awesome, glad to see it landed in good hands.

 

Remember that rainy day in georgetown colorado and you got a ride in a super cool 51 hudson? You probably need to trade that old broken-down 32 for a car with working windshield wipers. Awesome find!

I am in West Bend 35mi north of Milwaukee, Great find you have! Gary

 

I do remember that dry ride home in the cool old Hudson. How have you been? We are planning on being back in Colorado for the hill climb next year. Looks like we both moved this year?

 

When you are headed this way, let me know. Would like to meet more hambers in the area.

 

Incredible find. I like the Banger idea, maybe a warmed up flattie if you can't find a decent B-Motor. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing and you will have a winner all day long.

 

Tim, Good to hear you are going to make it back next year to the hill climb. Hope to see ya there then.

After all this time, Betty called me today. She found a folder of paperwork on the car. She wanted to know if I wanted it. I think she was trying to find out if I flipped the old car?!! Haha

She's putting all the stuff in the mail and should have it in a few weeks. Can't wait!!
