Those Darn 32 Fords!

In an article I wrote last year, commenting on the many 32 Fords I'd owned over the years, it would be interesting to try and find out where some of these survivors I wrote about may have ended up. The Foothills Street Rod Association in Calgary www.fsra.org are running the story in their excellent newsletter Foothills Kruizin starting with the October 07 issue and still running (in 4 installments). Anyone recognizing that particular coupe, please put your hand up, I'd like to know where it finally ended up.
Enclosed pics show the coupe circa 1950 (before the addition of the rear fenders), and proud owner Denny Stanford standiing next to it. Thanx in advance, Bob C

 

Those are great photos. Thanks for posting them.

 

The February 2008 issue with part 3 has been posted.

Thanks for the fantastic article. I really enjoyed reading it.
I found it at the the following link...

Cword, I get a Japanese site on one and no such site on the other. AlcanAv8s site works

 

I moved that site to a .ca domain a couple of years ago. At the same time I may have dropped that content. I'll check my archives and see if I can't redirect it and then put new links back in here.

ALCAN AV8 thanks for posting that link, I couldn't get the other one to work, great article

 

Glad you liked it, I sure did.

 

Threads 5 years old. HRP

 

That was a great article! Thanks for posting it Sean.

 

Hmmm now its 12 years old......and still kicks ass...

Canadian Bacon indeed... @ALCAN AV8's link in post #4 to the story still works just fine...I hope @Old Wolfy still Hotrodding...

 

Imagine finding that yard today...I'd need a change of underwear...​

 

The link was dead so here's one that works for those interested...

Unfortunately Bob is gone; https://edmontonjournal.remembering.ca/obituary/robert-cantin-1065932888
Corresponding with him and Billy during the years I edited the FSRA newsletter sure was a treat.

 

@Cword belated condolences to you and the Cantin Family and friends in the passing of Bob...

Just to be clear this is Hamber Old Wolfy correct?

If so he should be given the Emeritus designation...we just have to clarify and let one of the Mods know...

Thanks for sharing this loss to the community...he certainly did quite the Hotrod Walk...

 

Wow, That was a great read! I sure wish I knew of him when I acquired my 5W off my uncles farm in Airdrie, Alberta. I'm sure he would have pointed me in the right direction for a handful of parts I still need. Would have been great to meet him!

 

Yes, Hamber Old Wolfy was Bob Cantin from Edmonton, Alberta I've read through a few of his posts to confirm.
