    Mykes car is amazing, had the opportunity when he lived in New Hampshire to see that car often and even a good cruise, it is top of the food chain.
     
  2. Anymore pics or info on this 32?

    that car belongs to ironbuyer, of Amocat Speed Emporium fame
    I'm sure if you did a search you would find more pictures of it

    here's another really short clip of it sitting idling

    Love the Amocat roadster! One of my favorites! Sounds awesome! It was in Rod and Kulture a few issues back. I'll have to look and see what cam it was running, I can't remember right off hand...

    Until someone comes out with a decent repro for $300.
    I can't believe it would be that hard to do for someone with the right tooling.

  15. I'm thinking they're race cars Gene. There is a thread specifically for them though.
     
  16. Please keep posting they are more than appropriate material.

    The problem here is that we (my view of the thread) are talking about mostly street used hot rods of this era. Street or multi-purpose. But not strict race cars. To race a street car at the lakes doesn't mean it's a strict race car.

    I think the pics in your asking posts #1101 and #1102 are nothing but race cars. The other two looks really wild and fits great. The line is sometimes thin, I agree. But there is a difference in body type and style.

    Just my 2 cents, nothing more... :p
     
  20. Oh Yea......^^^^^Nice

    This is a wicked thread guys keep the pics and stories coming. HG your contributions are much appreciated and for my part are very relevent. Lets not get caught up on detail and just enjoy an era most of us will only experience through these pages. As I've been told by many a rodder, if it looks right it is right and all these pics fit.

    that #2 roadster looks like it has a super rare 33/34 roadster pickup cowl mated to a '33 chevy door and quarters
     
  24. For your viewing enjoyment...Soldier Field, Chicago 1947.
