Hello, Before the popularity of the “Little Deuce Coupe” came on the scene, we saw plenty of 32 three window coupes at the early drag racing races in So Cal, starting in 1957. Some were in the spectator’s parking area and others were in competition from Altered Coupes/Sedans with a motor set back and open headers to Gas Coupes if they had full fenders and muffled exhaust pipes. So, this one could fall into the Altered Coupe Class with its 25% setback of the motor. But, despite the individual headers shown, it could be a street cruiser/brawler in daily driving form or for those “Cacklefest” gatherings. Take the baffles out and now, 25% set back, open headers and flames shooting out of each pipe upon starting in the darkened cackle show. Jnaki The 32 Ford Coupe looks good in the full fender version and in the fender-less coupe version. With the side louvered panels in place, no one knows what kind of motor is making all of those rump-rump-rump sounds that plays to everyone’s ears and brain waves…with some additives, perhaps a little flames out of the pipes, instead of on the coupe...

More stuff from when I was young and stupid...as opposed to the current status...old and stupid. Flyer artwork. T-shirt design. Cartoon from Street Rodder Magazine.
Not sure what happened here, but what started out as a late 30,s early 40’s drawing came out looking like a VW.
Couple FE Ford M/Ts I just finished up restoring for my collection. Were very, very stained and neglected. No paint or powder coat, just lots of sanding by hand.
I too love the Oldsmobile stuff, the grille is from a 37 Oldsmobile, that I bought at the Portland swap-meet years ago, and I sold it to a fellow" HAMBER", that is restoring his 37 Oldsmobile. I also gave him one of my Minneapolis Moline flying helicopter tractor T-shirts as well, which you see here. Marty Strode also has one of of those shirts as well !
I've been lusting for a 37 Terraplane for ever just haven't found one that meets my budget as yet. One of the coolest Grilles around. Joe
