need help identifying an old club plaque

my buddy speedy is looking for info on his grandfathers old roadster. here is a shot of the car in 56 and a detail shot of the plaque. we cant make it out. does anybody recognize the plaque. he was from the la puente california area.

thanks, zombie

 

That looks like a "Staggs" plaque, but I don't know.

 

Swanx? established in oakland in 1952..

what area was he from? Im sure that would help a lot.

 

Have the girl pull around so we can see it better.

 

Yep.

 

Oh ya thats totally it...

 

Man you guys rock. Nice job.

 

Nice work. That is absolutely the right one,....

Staggs, what was I thinkin...

 

51 minutues, that was fast. I thought doane spencers 32 had the frame horns cut off though.

 

thanks aussie steve, however the roadster was owned at one time by speedys grandfather bill pearce. speedy has several more pics of bill with the car, and he is trying to chase down some of his grandfathers hotrod history.

thanks again, zombie

 

thanks guys. thats it.

 

you were wishful thinkin on being single again!!
HAMB: is there anything it cant do????

 

I still think it says "snugglers"

 

no. i thought he said it was around 56. it is not marked on the photo. i will see if he knows the actual date.

heres another shot.........

 

my mistake, i just spoke to speedy, and one of the other photos has a 1947 plate on the car.

Here's a good site for club plaques.........

I was gonna ask if Speedy's grandpa was Doane Spencer.

 

According to the photo in this article http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?***le=Doane_Spencer%27s_1932_Ford_Roadster
That is the Doane Spencer Roadster. The photo in the article even shows a clear view of the plaque. I think Neil East did most of the changes that you see on the car now. Louvers and cutting off the frame horns that is.

Man, that is one fab photo!!!

Better'n my old family photo album, I only see pics of chubby old grandmas in there...

 

There is a photo of the Doan Spencer CH***IS in a period trade magazine that covered a very early Roadster Show in the LA area. I need to find it, because is shows a very supple Z'd frame section over the front spring that I don't remember seeing in the current form of the car. Did Doan build several '32 Ford ch***is?
