History Ford 32 Roadster From Hotrod magazine 1966?

Can anyone tell me if this Roadster is a real car or just a picture. I want to make a clone.. Need more pictures.

 

Looks like a colorized picture of an original black and white photo

 

That car was owned at one time by Tex Smith. He did a write up on it in the September/October 1989 issue of Hot Rod Mechanix. At the time of its feature in Hot Rod, it was owned by George Schrieber.

That's a nice Deuce Highboy...wouldn't change a thing...and hey!!...maybe Hotrodders DO get the Ladies too...

So!! Hay Julie...will it be 1 horsepower or 300...

 

That picture was in color in Hot Rod magazine, had one cut out and framed hanging on my wall when I was a kid.

When our car club was formed , early 60’s a crest was needed for the club jackets and this hot rod was chosen to use as the crest . The lion , ???, a “majestic” beast . The name , from a popular song at the time by Dion .......

Do you think it’s possible to ask for right issues. Or do anyone know?

 

Always loved that car. I have a picture of it in a book I picked up some time ago.

 

Anyone have anymore about this one. I just love to know more.

 

Jimmy, you might be able to get some history from the LA Roadsters, pretty sure they have some pics of old members cars.
