I'm on a cloud right now.... Never thought I'd own one but thanks to my brother in law Jim who turned me on to this deal, I am the proud owner. '32 cab, stored, undriven, in a garage for 20+ years. 50's 60's build with 283 chev and 3 speed Zephyrs. Handmade fenders thanks to the Long Beach PD who gave Roger a "No fenders" ticket in 1960. Bought from an old hot rodding gent who was a metal shop teacher and drove it to school daily. It will live on in the spirit he envisioned. Just wanted to share.... Dreams do come true Thanks Jim!
Great! I know everyone loves the roadsters with the way that the dash flows into the doors and all, but I'd prefer the cabrio, myself. A real all-weather hot rod! Kinky6
Cabriolets were factory soft tops. Differed in many ways from roadsters, but primarily by the roll-up windows.
Great score congrats!! Factory, you can tell by the top of windshield and top door hinge, as well as swage lines.
Not stupid, I'm learning myself and I own it! Factory deal, much smaller numbers. Roll up windows fit into top frame. Top goes up and down. More room front to back than a roadster. I believe the doors are deeper as well. I believe they always had a rumble seat. Corrections and additions are welcome. Go ahead Hambers
Was the dash engine turned? The seams between the back panel & the quarters was originally welded, like the 3W. Neat car!!
You lucky @#$%^&& That thing is super cool. I like the idea of keeping the theme alive!!! Have fun and keep us up on what your doing to it. Tim
Thanks to all of you for the kind words. Good to know folks are behind you. I've flushed the tank (no rust ) and the hard lines. Got a kit for the AFB carb and will rebuild. Lube the cylinders, check the electrics and give her a whirl in the next few days.
Wow - looks like you will be done in just a few weeks. Amazing find. Is that windshield header stock and just wood grain finished, or is that a wooden accessory that the PO added?
