    Congratulations ...
    You are a great guy ... to buy your lovely wife a 1932 Ford for a MOTHER'S DAY present
    :)

    Is has been difficult for me to keep this 32 Ford deal under wraps and not tell anyone ... but I did. I am sure you will straighten out the minor things about the coupe that offend you and make it " YOURS "

    Neat coupe ... and I know you happen to like SBF engines and have owned quite a few.

    Great looking car! Of course I'm biased. The headlights were the first thing I noticed, kinda goofy and too bad they missed the hole with the cowl lights. Everything else about your car looks real fine to me. I'd even live with a sbf :eek: with a car as good looking as that. Congrats, drive it like you stole it!

    Nice looking car, makes you wonder why someone would by a car that nice and basicly let it sit for 25 years?

    Yeah Ken,that's the ticket,,for Mothers Day!:D

    as for the wagon,,as soon as I get my daughters unexpected wrecked car back on the road the wagon IS coming home,,I just don't have room for it at this moment,,the wagon is in a million and one pieces and will take at least 2 bays of the shop for all the parts!:eek: HRP

    Sweet score and with a few easy fixes (lights, axle, headlight bar and wheels) that will really be an eye grabber! That's a weekend of work and I'd just run it like that!

    No,,,54 Ford wagon,,,long term project! HRP
     
  23. Well, that's quite a find! After the deal was done, Deuce Roadster shared some of the details with me. Nice score, but as is the case so often, not really luck, but hard work and perseverance that paid off for you!

    That 25 vent hood is a nice little bonus as well!

    How does it drive?

    I am looking forward to seeing it in person!

    It sure looks like a nice straight little coupe with a few little things to change. It's pretty hard to find a 32 that hasn't been changed in some way over the last 77 years! It made me wonder why you sold your roadster and this is the perfect reason. Congratulations and enjoy!
