Featured History The 28/29 Manifesto

. . . got that Cyclone quick change I sold you?

 

It went to Scandanavia with the Cragar Roadster.

 

M. Morton, that's probably when. I did talk to you that day. You were wiping the Roadster off. That's a long time ago. I still have my Roadster, but I moved to the wrong part of the country to get much use out of it.

 

What pulled my attention when I first paid attention to a 28/29 roadster pickup was the fender shape, cowl line, and the square back corners of the cab and that flat cab back. It was ugly and pretty at the same time. I really like the lines of the pinched rear on the 28/29 roadster too, and the small radiator shell on the 28/29 is much better looking in my opinion than both the later A and in most cases a 32 on an A.

 

My most recent roadster build.

 

Congratulations to my pal @tombstone on 60 years with your 28/29 on deuce rails!

 

Mark -

RODZY is still my "all time favorite" LoBoy '29 Roadster . . . and one of my "all time favorite" picks for the Deuce Bruce Olson Memorial Award:

​

. . . Dad would have absolutely loved everything about it! . . . he was always a big fan of @Pete Eastwood's work!

I went back for a second look and noticed the '34 hood sides, need to find more photos of this car.

Thank you, Todd; was, and still is quite an honor!

 

Actually '33, which are shaped a lot like the cowling coachmark.

 

The skinny 28-29 cowl showcases most any engine of choice,however a Buick nail-head seems to compliment it quite well !

 

****py shot but here's my example

 

Thanks! I'm trying to find hood sides that match the angle of a '31 Slantback windshield post.

 

This is a cutoff coupe body.

 

Here’s one I built over 25 years ago

 

WOW! @M. Morton Great to see a post from you!
Welcome to the HAMB from an old HOP UP follower.
What happened to the Jive 5 and the tub?

 

I love the tub

 

seen this one in Kalamazoo a few years ago really liked it

 

Thanks. Jive Five went to Swander, then to Jim (I think) in New England; tub went to Bos in Prescott then to someone on Cal Central Coast,

 

Anyone know what happened to Rich Fox's model A roadster? I wanted to buy it when it went up for sale due to its Bay Area history, but couldn't get funds together quick enough.

 

I like them! But I maybe biased.

 

I went to the roadster show this past weekend and this beautiful ride was all by itself off to the side.
