Hot Rods April 79 Hot Rod Magazine

In 1979 my yellow chopped deuce 5 window was featured in Hot Rod. If anyone has April would you please look and see if that's the right month. There are several on E-Bay but I'd like to be sure before I purchase. Thanks for your help. Gary at Cornhusker

 

Squirrel, You are the man, Thanks.

 

Nice coupe. It's still in style. Where is it now?

 

I traded it to Gary Roberts in Toledo for a chopped 33 all steel 5 window and a all steel 32 roadster. Both cars were projects. He sold it to a man in Ohio who got rid of the louvers and hinges but I don't think he finished it then it went to another builder in Ohio who's name escapes me, he and his son owned an upholstery shop and he also had a gold 32 highboy pickup. He replaced the louvers plus a louvered top and painted it maroon. The last I knew it was in New York.

 

Gary, I think you are talking about Bob Applemann. His son Shawn was on the H.A.M.B. (Skips***ch) in the past and did automotive upholstery. They lived near Lancaster Ohio, just south of Columbus.

 

Always dug that car!

Thanks A *****. You are correct. I also sold Bob Appleman the ch***is that was under his 32 pickup.

Hey Mark, Thank you for posting this link! I have been unsuccessful in searching for this.Ronn

 

Bumping to the top. Curious if anyone knows more about where this car is today.

 

And in case you need the cover...

 

Killer deuce coupe but I wouldn't expect any less from you! Gary

 

I know where it is Still under dad's care in Ohio. He was "hot lapping" the neighborhood a few weeks ago stretching it's legs before the real winter weather hits!

Still looks about the same as when it got waterlogged in Louisville...

 

It’s still a good looking car!
