Hot Rods The EUROPEAN DEUCE thread

This Tudor from Germany now runs without fenders

 

The Tudor got some love in a new Japanese magazine, Custom Rides Magazine (issue Nr. 1!). Took all the pictures locally in Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes. The Editor/friend Makoto Okamura did a fantastic job. Love the layout (6 pages) and glossy paper!

'32 Tudor from Argentina racing at the historic Monthlery racetrack, France

 

Funny this picture: I fixed the frame of the green Riley special behind the volks 2 month ago after it got into a crash after someone cut him off on surface street.

 

Small world, Chris, small world!

Chopped Fordor Euro Deuce spotted this weekend during the European Street Rod Nats, near Le Mans, France

 

This is the Fordor I bought in auction in Switzerland a few years ago. It was a V8 with a very early 18-5XXX number. It had stood under that tree since 1958. Before that it had run as a stock car at Bern airport. When I dismantled it, the frame had hardly any rust, the drums were still shiny inside. The frame and all the mechanical parts were in good usable condition.

 

Saw it at LARS on Saturday ,

 

What are the plans with the car, Edward?

Yeah, 120 miles covered on Saturday - happy car

 

It was dismantled and sold off in parts years ago. There are a few deuces running around with parts from that in it. The Swiss authorities still had it on their microfiche records and I was able to get a replacement title for it! Swiss efficiency!

 

Here are some pictures of 32s in England when hot rodding was in it's infancy. Many '32s were used up on the stock car circuits too. Couple are of '34s too. The '34 US Ford was also built in Europe. Looks like a lot, but three pictures of 5W are the same car. The two pictures of the white 5W are the same car and the 3W pictured is the same car. Coupes were a lot rarer than sedans.

 

Restored UK stock car.

 

And some more '32s in England in the 1950s.

 

This is a very cool thread, here's some of my photo's taken over the years. The first are of Mike Keys Cdan taken late 70's early 80's:



Some mordors taken in the mid 80's I think:

 

Thanks so much for all the pictures - great stuff. I think Jeff Beck later owned the Tudor

 

Never seen the "324DOR" Fordor before. Also, the metallic blue Fordor was featured in Street Machine Magazine (UK) back in the '80s
