    Correct on the Autox, wow what fun! That was at the Americruise and it was open to all show enterants. I may not have been the fastest , I had ore fun than most. There was a pic in the jan o7 R&C. I think I did pretty well considering everything.

    Here's mine. Even though it doesn't show in the pictures the Olds has many spots where the paint is cracking and areas where the paint is worn through and the primer is showing.

    This '30 followed me home. It was found 2 months ago in a garage with a pickup and a sport coupe, parked late 50's. Found just like this, new tires added, tank cleaned, and motor changed. nothing else messed with. The windshield was laid back, dumped front, hitch, had the 16 inch Kelseys, and bigs n littles but rotten, although holding air. Lowered front, electric wiper. redone front seat, but original rumble upholstery. The engine started and ran but puked a rod - the tank was cleaned, changed to 12v - and away she goes - mechanical brakes and all. The black is brushed over original light green with what appears to be factory apple green pinstriping. looks like someone tried taking some off the door and cowl once, but probably long long ago. Someones little hot rod A! Tim :)

  22. Nice from a far, but far from nice! She's perfect.

    I just finally pryed her from my fathers hands. Top is getting wacked this week... fenders, etc. Then for the real surprise!

    I'll play. Me, dad, and Harrison drug this 32 out of storage last weekened. It has been in storage for 46 years. And Larry now that me and dad own a 32 when do we get to join the club and learn the secret hand shake?
