1932 cabriolet built from a 5 window

I say screw all the "correct" details and make a cool phantom car out of it. You could have something really nice if you get creative.

 

Well I guess the Cabriolet is a no go . I had know idea that the doors where longer . Who has a 32 five window top ???? or a 32 four door sedan top or Body .

 

Why stop just because the door is a bit longer...I don't get it.

 

PFFT. I doubt steve even built that car, gold chainer probably bought it like that

in all seriousness if there was one reason I bought my 32 it was because when I saw Steve's car the first time it gave me my first stiffy before I hit puberty!

hmmm I'll see what's up, I'm definitely interested. maybe we could meet at my house first if you want and I could follow you over.

I might go snowmobiling this weekend if there's snow up in vt though so I'll let you know.

how bad is the frame that came with it?? that car HAD to be a big dollar car back in the day. it has to be in some magazine somewhere. with the columbia and the lincoln brakes..... had to be

Like I said, it just depends on what you want to drive. does it have to be a "stock" type body or is "custom" just as cool. I think putting the top back on makes it more of a hot rod where the cabrio would be more custom. both take alot of talent to make look right.

 

i have some what of the same problem . i have a cabriolet but no doors. i got the body but don thelan beat me to the doors at a estate sale. and i have yet to run across a pair of doors for it. i got some coupe doors that some one cut top part off for a roadster but never really tried to make them fit

 

There was a big pile of 32 cabriolet body parts that showed up last spring in Fitchburg Mass at the early Ford V8 club swapmeet. The vendor said it was going back to SoCal if it did not sell.....and I later read about the same package was for sale at LARS 2011.

It had multiples of certain parts, but I forget which. There were 3 of either doors or quarters and 5 of the doors or quarters. I am thinking it was 3 doors and 5 rear quarters.

Someone here must know.



BTW, there was a 2nd set of doors from another vendor at Fitchburg. Spendy, but I don't recall the amount. If I find out his name, I'd pm you...not sure if I have it.

 

f you want those parts let me know i know who has them unless they have sold

 

Socalmerc is the one who needs real cabriolet doors in post 35, not me.

Sorry for the mix up.

 

I for one enjoy reading posts that expand into a big pool of information, so I have a '32 Cabriolet question. Were is the car now?

A pic of mine before I built it;

 

^ Wow, never channeled......but what a chop

 

I heard it was for sale but didn't know if you sold it yet. Can't remember if it was Tim or your brother who told me.

Do you accept first born sons for payment

I think they wanted something like 8k for that stack of parts at fitchburg. The guy with the doors must have been making notes about every guy who looked at the body because whenever they walked buy he'd let em know he had extra doors for it.

 

yeah i would like to get those doors if they still have them. pm me the info. thanks

 

I think the guys name is Roy somethink ?maybe someone can jump in with his last name . He was asking 5k for the 32 parts pile .

 

I ment to say something oops

 

if that is 32 real cabriolet top ?
