    Why do most people choose to run the '32 shell with earlier bodies?

    Running a 32 shell with an earlier body was common practice probably as soon as the 1932 Ford came out. It was a way to update the look of your 3-4 year old car and to streamline that flat looking Model A grill that was reminiscent of the Model T grill shell.

    You know what I like about this first group of model A's that were submitted?? ...the major absence of WHITE WALLS!!!

    Good job, guys. Some great shots.

    I'll send a photo of my 1930 roadster asap.

    The 32 shell is cheaper than the stainless 30-31 shell.

    Love all these old roadsters! Here is a photo of mine, it was built many years ago and had a little updating in 1996 & 2007

    The Roadster's in Cincy for the Cavalcade of Customs. Ole #97 will be in Detroit this week, while the other one gets some well deserved shiny paint.
