Not mine, but my Uncle’s- he has owned it over 60 years. His Dad wanted him to buy a Frazier, but he had been influenced by the little books out of California, benn on the road about 20 years.
This one had belonged to my Cousin Leonard Barton, He sold it some time in the late 70's or early 80's. The guy he sold it to was a good customer of mine= Ken Kingsbury (R.I.P.), I didn't realize it had been in the family until Ken showed me this picture. after I had been working on the car for years fixing different issues at different times, Like rust and Fitting the doors all while he was keeping it on the road, then he decided to replace the Gl*** Fenders, dropped the car off and brought the original picture to show me and that was when we realized it was built by my cousin 20 years before.

Here's our latest 32 build my wife and I are working on still more to go but getting closer. Good old back yard build what I would have built if I found the car in 1966. For the needed go fast parts I would have gone shopping at the local junk yards around the city of New Haven. Ronnieroadster

I traded my Highboy Roadster for this car, it was a running driving car, unfinished interior and with a junkyard drive line. The builder was bodyman, paint work, great, some/most mechanical work a little Shakey. It took some time and money to get it up to my standards, I drive all my cars, the upholstery shop I found did an outstanding job. I was very happy with this car, 8 years and about 20 K miles. My arthritis was giving me grief so I purchased a mild kustom 51 Merc, similar deal, paint interior great, mechanicals big time shakey, I got that one squared away, wife drove the 32 and, I drove the Merc. The 32 was my favorite hobby car I had, time marches on, Now I'm into OT comfort cruising hobby cars. Aging ****s, Happy to be here and Thankful to be here or anywhere.
