    I don't know if this has been on the board, but I found pictures on the net. Interesting build!

    Interesting- but nothing resembles a 1932- just 1959.

    It's not something that anyone who hangs out here would want to own, but it does have an ounce of "fun" in it. The designer obviously gave-up about half-way through the project. The color isn't "fun" the front tires need fenders to complete the "theme." The tires and wheels are an after-thought. I declare this to be a tragedy, although it could have been fun.

    What's with the 32 in the title? Edsel owned some beautiful cars in 32, but this wasn't one of them :)

    that's an answer to a question that should have never been asked.

    i believe Edsel designed the 32s as Henry wanted to stick with the model As forever.

    that edsel roadster is pretty coool!
     
  11. Here's some picyures of it when it was painted. I thought it was pretty cool looking with paint.

    Defiantly cool with the paint, cant stand ww's with moon discs but if it was a yellow and white 32 coupe I'd glance at it and keep walking whats wrong with something different?

    I thought it was a neat car but it could have been made to look a little cooler like this Ed newton sketch....

    I would look a lot better if it was a little shorter and lost the wheel wells.

    I had a guy tell me that the spacetruck would look a lot better with some s-10 fenders on it though. I suppose it is a matter of taste.

    Remove the hood and sides and it may look good. Albeit not as good as what Plowboy has created.

    Still, it took more skill than I have....

    I like it a lot better in color. Too bad the firewall forward is a different yellow than the rest of the car :eek:

    Looks like my 56 truck which doesn't have any matching colors either...
