Show Traditional Dueces

Great pictures! Keep them coming!

 

Charlie told me they were from an Austin Healey sports car......

Since I put the top on the car really took on an earlier look, now I just have to figure out the right wheel color, or different wheels and tires all togeather.

 

These will qualify...

 

My last one..it now lives in Texas

 

Very tasteful roadster. I for one, really appreciate the the traditional 4o's high boy treatment, as opposed to the severely channelled style that's so popular today.

 

I didnt know Fred but had sold him a part on ebay, well i got an email from his wife saying that he had p***ed away, and wanted a pic of the part i sold him so she could locate it.

he had a *****en 40 coupe too,

RIP Fred.

Somewhat my ***,it's spot on! Checked it out and talked to you at Rhinebeck

 

My version of a classic.........

 

....

 

i agree with what you are saying, but remember that in 1947 a 1930 model a was only 17 years old and probably still had a presentable factory paint job.

here's my "traditional styled" sedan.

IMO would look good with the wheels repainted semi-flat black with no caps.

 

Mine that I have been working on

 

Ron, I'd say that "you've been making rasberry jam out of pig ****" aka "silk purse out of a sow's ear".

I made my coupe body out of parts of 13 different model A's, so I know what its like to take on a huge project.

well done on your project. Looking good.

Heres mine, more of a 60's style........................RP

 

even better in preson.

 

Thanks for the comments! Here is a pic with different wheels and no hood. I don't like it this way as much, but I wanted to see how it would look.

 

I liked it before with the Kelseys...but I love it with the solids! I guess we all have different ideas of the perfect traditional hot rod...and for me, this is it.

 

Wow, thanks! The wheels are growing on me.



Kelseys and the hood

 

solids and no hood are my vote.... but you already knew that!

 

myke, I could go either way on the wheels as I like both of them equally on your car, but as for the hood there is no doubt. KEEP IT ON!

 

I don't think most rodder's here think that.......maybe pre-'66 or so.
Some of the best/coolest/whatever Deuces were late '50's-early 60's.....

And pretty much any Deuce thread here is FULL of traditional deuce's......rarely does one post street rods here.

Thanks for words. Part of what I am shooting for is a finished car like MYKE's

 

Our 32.

 

Awesome styling my friend. I was wondering if i'd see it in here.
