Detroit pics? 33 roadster?

Didn't anyone get a pic of the barn find 33 roadster in the basement? I was kicking myself for not taking a camera.

 

Here you go, a pretty cool car with an interesting story.

 

Wow! What's the story? Who owns it?

 

There was a phone # on a small piece of paper leaning against the rear tire saying "available". If some one had the $$$$$ it'd be a helluva piece of history to swap hands.

 

My friend Paul Back from Michigan owns the car. He is a long time 32 Afficianado, car builder, Bonneville racer, and builder of some significant old Fords. He built the Veda Orr replica that was at GNRS 2 years ago.

The car is a true barn find, built in 1958 and not touched much since. A friend of mine was helping to get the car around to load and was urged by Paul "to be careful not to smudge the 50 year old dust off of it" haha.

How about the old chainsaw!

He had these cars upstairs last year:





By the way, that is Paul on the right on the top pic wearing plaid shirt.

 

I talked to the owner of the 33 for quite some time great history he has had it for ever he is trying to buy the familys summer home he grew up in so its gonna go .REAL nice ride the price was 38,000 firm i have his info his display was as cool as his car

 

The Story, from what I remember, was the guy built it in 1955. When it was in the the upholstery shop, the guy passed away. His wife brought the car home and stuck it in the garage where it sat for 40 some years. I am sure others here could fill in the complete details.

 

That was the coolest display there I loved it.
