The title of the article was Coupe De Grace if that helps.

...this is to confirm/clarify no more...if its not it we rule that lead dead...​

 

That car is a 3 window. Can’t be it. Damn what a bummer

That one is English built as far as I know.
And honestly guys, are we going to have some lessons on window counting...........

 

Yes it is Across the Pond...
It is known as Coupe De Grace however... paging @chryslerfan55 is this the Coupe you were speaking of...its in a Goodguys Mag? Yes I realize it's a 3w...but if it is what Chrysler was recalling it would eliminate that direction...

 

Neat 3 window rod, but not THE one.

So we drop back a couple squares and search for the next lead.

 

Chrysler said the Title was Coupe de Grace...so he will confirm...this is not Titled as he said...I hope he says No...

 

Seems we are starting to flounder a bit. I think we need the help of some of the 'big guys' around here. A couple have already been paged. Did I read on here somewhere that Gene Winfield is a member? If so, hopefully he will see or be made aware of this mission. Until some more knowledgable people chime in, we may be chasing shadows..............

 

...now their selling articles cut out of car mags jeeze...and of course they don't say what it came out of but I gather 1995 is the year of the mag...15 bucks plus 15 bucks shipping it's yours...​

 

That ain’t it.

Thanks...
What about the one above your post to me?

Paging @chryslerfan55 one more to verify...

 

There's just a hard to find blurb about the car being Watson painted and a few pics

https://www.customcarchronicle.com/forums/topic/watson-style-32-ford-coupe/

The story and NEW info should be posted in the forum for all the members to see...and hopefully get some new leads. Also, the Administrators can add the new info to the original story.

 

Found this, in an article about John Foxley:

"A panel painted eggplant purple and pearl white 1932 Ford hot rod named Coupe de Soul by Gene Winfield was originally built as a hot rod in Victoria in 1948"
Probably the 3 window.

 

Jack your right Rikster is on here and Kustomrama(superflye), TRJ is as well and even AHRF for that matter so trust me it will get around...

 

Break !!!

Check this out. Fun vid'. See if you can count how many times that familiar purple shows up.

** Many "heart stoppers" coming. Be sure to watch to the end.

 

Then .. .. watch this one. -->

** "Purple grape" .. "silver pearl" .. ..




Okay.

Now .. .. BACK TO WORK !!!

 

Pat Ganahl responded to my email and told me he's not familiar with the car.

Oh, well. I was sure that he'd know the car and lead the op right to it.

 

I just watched this video like 15minutes ago and didn’t have tome to post it before you did lol.

Watched this one a few days back. Phil said that it (the 32) was painted with left over paint from Watson’s own thunderbird pretty cool stuff. Watson still has that swagger about him just a cool ass dude.

This is what I get for not double checking my sources ( I need a vacation). Okay I’m going to sit down in the corner now. Oh and yes, that’s the article I was thinking of. Sorry it’s not the correct vehicle.

Thanks......back to the Snooping Board...

 

That's okay, @chryslerfan55 ...
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Glad you don't need a lesson in window counting.

 

I don’t do windows. Mostly because I don’t work at Microsoft.

The 'window counting' thing was a joke. Hope you guys have not taken it the wrong way...........

 

All good from this end, I found two Coupe De Graces in magazines with 1 being a Chopped 5 window so I feel pretty good about it...

Hard to believe it just vaporized after 1979...and those may have been older images at the time...

That $60 1995 4 page spread on Ebay with that 5 window could yield fruit as any chopped 5 window could be game at this point...

 

I figured you were just kidding.

I'd start looking for ones with a 37 Packard dash, 50 Pontiac tail lights and/or a z'ed rear frame.
