That looks like a `36 roadster , not a cabriolet. with some popular post war add ons, such as the skirts with emblems, spot lights, and maybe...
The " Dairy Mart" in Huntley. IL , been there since 1955. But recently the State widened route 47 to make room for "growth" and they lost a lot...

If you want to be authentic, those are #12x24 sloted head screws that hold the "dog house" cap to the firewall on a `32 Ford. A rather odd size...
I had one for a while. I thought they were strictly a race car item, since they won't fit between a flathead in it's normal position, and the...
My grandfather , Ira ( born in1901), and his buddy, Elmer, drove this one in 1924 from Chicago to North Dakota and back, to work the wheat...
The one on the left looks like a new reproduction `30-`31 rumble handle because of the longer shank to fit through the lid.
My original ( early type ) doors have that inside of them also. It's original. If you want it out of there, maybe you could cut away as much as...

polished aluminum ? I once owned a Cessna 120 , mostly bare aluminum. When I finally thought I was done polishing it, it was time to start over !
On mine I had to put a shim behind the rear pinion bearing , in front of the pinion gear, to move it back toward the ring gear more. Because even...
WOW ! That's a rare item. I owned a normal cast iron one once, but never knew any were made in aluminum.
That's cool, but you might want a bigger trunk, for traveling.[ATTACH]
