I have always wondered how much weight savings there is between these two cl***ic hot rod roadsters. Racers sure used the 28-29' body on 32' frame combination over and over again. I have a steel body 29' in street trim and it weights 2,280 lbs. Anyone with a similar 32' know the weight of their rod?
Having seen 28 and 32 bodies naked, but never on a scale, I’d guess the 32 is less than 100 pounds heavier. All other components would be the same, basically.
Model A's are prettier. I don't understand why someone hasn't put a '28-'29 shell on a fat, ugly '32. Seems like most all the efforts using a '32 shell gets a car that the hood runs upward towards the front. One could distract that image by using one of those aluminum knobby bumpers that are out-of-place with any polished or chrome metal.
That may ( in my eyes ) be a valid question. However you probably won't win the argument with that presentation. Or like like the guy used to say... "SHOW me the money"
