  5. I could see em all, up untill Aftershock.
    Like em all so far.
    Mr Hetfield seems to have strayed from his usual type of car, and I'm keen to see more of his 32.

    Like most of 'em, and still marvel at the craftsmanship that it takes to create all these machines. Is there a JJ/HAMB Pick this year? Thanks for sharing!

    I love 32 roadsters, but that 34 phaeton is my pick.

    Coachbuilt 1936 Packard Roadster, Hollywood Hot Rods.jpg This would be a shoo-in if they remove that "too small" out of proportion roof. One mans opinion
     
  12. Chaz,

    To me the roof is fine- it's the back end that's too big and bulbous- if they had slenderized the trunk and rear fenders, the car would be drop-dead gorgeous!

    You should see how the roof comes off! The decklid flips up and back rumble seat style and the roof flips 180* upside down into the trunk, then the decklid closes back up. All automatic. Wayyyyy cool!
