REQUEST: Good Pics of Traditional-style '29-'32 Roadsters

Ok everybody...
so my Dad is entertaining the thought of getting a
'29-'32 Ford roadster.... (most likely '29-'31 Haha..!!)
So let's see some really good 'traditional' examples to show him..!!
(I don't save too many pics of roadsters....)

Thanks alot..!!! -Snacks.....

 

What era, my boss has a 60s style ride, or are you thinking 40s? or 50s?

 

most likely 40's-50's style... maybe mellow 60's...?

here's a link of a car he saw on ebay that he really liked...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2481494093&category=6234

I explained the few things I'd change, such as:
-the crooked taillights(why..?), and remove the V8 emblems...
-the front dics brakes(unless they were hidden under Buick finned drums)...
-the(IMO) ugly steering wheel and gauges...
-and I'm not a big fan of the red interior with blue paint...
maybe red int. with black paint, or tan int. with the blue instead...
but once again, those are just my opinions...


engine could be pretty much anything non-billet-overload....


Thanks..!!

 

Snacky-

IMHO the first crime of "traditional" style hot rods (non-fendered cars) is to stick fat radials on them. It automatically makes the car look like it was built last week. I know they make total sense, handle better, etc, but they just don't look right to me on a A or deuce. You've seen my beater before, but here's a pic:
The idea was to make it look like it rolled out of a barn after 50 years!

 

Jay...
