My father traded our family car plus$ for this.. I was 4 and my life has never been the same . Thanks Dad
Cool on your dad.....our dad drove home a 35/36 mordor - I have a picture somewhere - a 4 door with a hot motor he said - as we begged him to keep it. My dad was an early flipper of cars and the service men on the base were a constant source for cars to flip. Glad yours has been kept in the family !
I dunno @Dooley, maybe it's kind of a coincidence, or just a little ironic... That's me 50 years ago with my first hot rod build...and 50 years later, I'm finishing up a '36 Cabriolet...AND I was born in Buffalo NY
Great looking car! What is the proper name for the three p***enger Cabriolet, the top is so much nicer than the one with the back seat IMO. Bob
The cabriolet with a back seat I believe was called a club cabriolet which mine is not! I've only had mine since 2014 but... I did manage to drive it to the LARS in 2016! We covered nearly 6,000 miles in 15 days. I got my first 36, a chopped 3W, in 1983 and have had at least one ever since and, like you, all of them were drivers! If it's too good to drive; it is too good for me. BTW, I really admire your cabriolet and commend you for holding on to it all these years. My problem is I want to hold on to all of them!!
Actually ran into a guy this year with a Club Cabriolet... Mostly original, and he has had it since 59!
