Original 32 Ford hotrods from the 50's

They seem to be more scarce than ever. Where are they all hiding? I've looked around on the web and have not found many. None at the local car shows.

 

After 60 year a lot of them have changed,but there are some still around, HRP

 

"They're still out there." As much as that statement is used, it sure seems true.

 

Ahhh FNG... Try a traditional hot rod show. One where you need to go thru a quick "tec" inspection that is usually put on by a car club that is looking for traditional qualities of cars that are participating.
Good luck

They are all on the HAMB getting un-channelled and uhhhh, "fixed"...

 

I'm in the burbs of Chicago. I just don't see'em. My first memory, I swear, is my father's 32 five window coupe he kept in two sections in my grandmother's backyard. I wish he had of fixed it, kept it. Red was the color. Very influential on turning me into a car nut. At 50 years of age, the interest has never waned. I posted a picture of his 32 on here a long time ago. I will see if I can dredge it up.

 

There use to be a traditional show in your area called the Hunnert Car Pile Up. You would have loved it. Unfortunately it is no longer. However with that said there is another one in the fall in your area. The name of it escapes me. Maybe someone will chime in with the name of it.

Go get em george

Did you see my recent "fuck you" 50s built car? I call it a f.u. build, as it shows how street driven and sometimes Autorama cars were built in the Northeast....not the Y2K BS highboys that just never happened here in MY area.

i swore i'd never name a car, but I like it.. it sounds nice, when aimed at the Y2K builder


everyone thinks the average 32 was a highboy looking like the 40s, no matter what state or decade it was built. *********

 

Exactly.

something like this?.

yes!

 

Most 32s in the 50s and early 60s here in NZ were channeled. Very few hiboys.

That 32 3 window looks so good slammed.

 

Lucky the American Pickers didn't find yours first....They are somewhere in Iowa.

 

Same thing here in North America. Fenderless highboys were thin on the ground in the fifties, channeled cars out-numbered them ten to one..

 

unfortunately that is not mine, it belongs to fellow hamber thequieton.

Iron Invasion in the Woodstock area, October timeframe. It was a good show in 2012.

You know my feelings on the subject Frank, but you, Mike and I are just a couple of lonely voices lost in a wilderness of history revisionists...

 

Nice!

 

I bet a lot of them were built into those "billet laden street rods" of the 80's &90's, that everyone hates.
