    If you can swing it, keep the Deuce AND buy the 57....you may get the urge later,if not, it's a money in the bank investment! That's a nice body;)
     
  4. I would love to have a 32 5 window but..... I don't think I could ever give up my 55. Maybe some day I'll find a 32.

    I think your crazy for not thinking of selling/trading the T for a tri-5! The T and the deuce are the same car as far as practicality goes (2 seater hot rod). So trade out the T for a running driving tri-5 project. Then you have a family cruiser and a deuce hot rod. two cars for two purposes not to mention the two most iconic machines.

    It's not perfect, but pretty nice compared to what I see a lot of guys start with.

    I have been looking for awhile to trade my '57 for a 32. BUT I want a running vehicle, not a project (I have enough of those). Seems as though nobody wants to do the swap and I can understand why, even though my '57 IMO is awesome.

    Not sure what corner of the world that is.:confused: A '32 shell is worth more than a running, driving '57. I'm not a '32 fan, but I know a great investment when I see it. A well done '32 is a mini 401K.
     
  15. Your just teasing us, aren't you! ;)

    I think 57's are just as cool as the 32.

    You're old enough to know better!

    I had my '32 5-window in High School, '57 Chevs were 2 years old. A H.S. senior asked if I'd trade him straight across for his black '57 Bel Air 2-dr Hardtop: 265, stick shift.

    My Deuce was a no-fender Hiboy, red body and frame, 296" flathead, Culver City Quickie, steel reversed red wheels, '50 Merc caps.

    I asked him if he had a couple more '57 Chevies he'd throw in... Much laughter from the crowd...

    Where are you located? I might can hook you up with a '57 convertible that looks factory new but still needs an engine and transmission. I'm in W. Texas.
