Hot Rods Old School Henry Roadster Find

nice old rust free hot rod

 

Love it, looks well kept!!

 

Please post some detail pictures of the engine and ch***is. It looks like a great find.

 

Wow!!!! Congratulations!!!

 

Big headlights! Back in the day! Who’d a thunk

 

That is perfect! Wow, what a find.

 

It's amazing that these '32 year Fords keep showing up. Congratulations on your new addition!
I'm fortunate to own two Henry '32s, but both were pieced together from collecting parts for years. To find one with history and being able to contact the builder is extraordinary.

 

Greg, you are known to find some good cars. Where did this one come from ? I know there are still a few 1932 ford roadsters hidden away in Connecticut.

 

Ohio car fast

 

Unbelievable! You’re one lucky guy!

 

Seeing that vette back there on the lift, I get a bad feeling about what is about to happen

 

Nice!

 

Me likey.

 

Greg,
Man you have the talent to find the good ones.
Congrats!

 

Bandit Billy you should not *** u me things. My guess is the previous owner will work on the corvette at some point.

 

Wonderful find

 

Very nice find, Greg! Congrats!

 

More pics as asked for

 

That car is 99% Period Perfect!!
Loose the go-cart steering wheel and it will be 100%!
Maybe a "53, the same year as the engine!

 

Some one added big headlights,and the small steering wheel maybe,those 2 thing are off ,not early 1960s,rest seems good

 

That’s awesome @GregCT. I sold my roadster 3 years back, and had the itch for another since! Yours is a true time capsule. And how cool is it, you spoke to the original builder! Congratulations!

 

WOW!! Great catch!

 

no dana the headlights are not early 60s- they are 1932s that Henry added. Lol.

 

Tony- I have a 40 steering wheel that will look the part if it bolts up to that column?

 

Greg,
I'm no expert!
I never saw both together at the same time, but, if memory serves,
both have a key-way and no spline so I would say if the diameter is the same it would fit.
And would look great!

 

Greg,

Excellent find. Car looks super cool. Congratulations.

Yeah, those are stock headlights. Seems like anybody would know that. I’m fine with me small 60’s steering wheel. If you get to a certain size these little cars are almost impossible to drive.

 

Sorry you missed the point an don't know, so a little history fill in for you.}; We did not use older big stock headlights in the 50 or 60s, they did not work for *****.< They were outlawed at the end of the 30s going in to WW2 ,cars n trucks had become faster n roads better,,the old bulb n reflector big things only showed enough road to still see at night at around 25 mph before you over ran what you could see head. The new 7in. sealbeams showed road ahead up to around 50 mph,, ,Every hotrodder used 7 inch sealbeams.* Most USA states had law that all cars an trucks had to used 7 inch sealbeams by 1939. It's a bit sad that so many now days, just follow trendy copycat things they see,fall in love with a wrong look ,with out knowing history=Then defend there mistake vs learn. You can't change history* ,just because aftermarket newer fake repop big lights have halogen or a like better bulb now. < Big lights still don't belong on 40/50/60s hotrods,an did not work then,just look at real rod pics of the times.
It's a great car n I like it,but tryed to help you get it better.
Your not the only one,that needs this info. Learn from it an be a better hotrodder.

 

Congrats.

 

very nice
