    Thought y'all might like to see this. Mr. Willie Eibner was at the Hastings, MN car show tonight. He said he built his 32, three windeer in 1954. It's siting on a 46 Merc frame he chopped in 17 places with a hacksaw. Sorry I couldn't get better pictures, enjoy.

    I've posted a few pics on the HAMB of Willies car. It was featured in Hot Rod Magazine, and Cars and Clubs which was pretty big deal if you were from New Ulm MN. It's a neat old car!

    Mr. Eibner's '32 was rightfully the star of the Des Moines show in 1956. Pages posted by Stephen Day on FB.

    Hey all, I really enjoy reading all these comments about Willie's car. Willie was my grandpa. He taught me so much about life growing up. I'm proud to own the car today! Here's a video I put together telling the story of his hot rod! I hope you all enjoy it!

    Curious about the frame change and a hack saw ? He must have had a lot of extra blades
