Hot Rods Looking for information regarding this 31 A roadster built in 1951

1931 A roadster built in 1951.. Still retains its original paint and interior from 51 as well as the stroked olds engine w/ 4 97's and zephyr trans. Looking for any info on the car. It was at the Petersen museum on display from 93-2003. I just got it from the guy who bought it from the museum in 2003 but he doesnt have any info on the car. Any help would be appreciated.

no info, but great score!

 

Wouldn't the museum have some sort of records on it???

 

very nice roadster

 

no info, but damn nice

 

I spoke to the curator of the petersen and while he remembers acquiring the car in 1993 from a collector in Florida, they have no other info. It was exhibited at the museum many times until its sale in 2003.

 

exhibited many times but no records?...hmm

 

Nothing helpful, just basic info on the car. It also predates the digital inventory that they know have.

 

Beautiful roadster! Now lose those radials as fast as you can!

 

With the car having come out of Florida you might try to get in touch with Kirk White. Over the years he has aquired and sold a lot of high end Hot Rods. Outside chance he may know something.

 

Nice ride & no fenders too!!!

 

Cali plates?....run a DMV search with them....would there be a Cali DMV plate attached to it some where?....looking for my uncles roadster - my avatar....he had to DMV serial plate it when he regestered it in 1950 after it's original build....

 

Try Ken Gross, he may know something about it.
