    When i first met Louie who has the survivor 32 coupe im working on he told me had also had a 32 cabriolet around the same time as the coupe. he also said he had pics of it, that about all he told me, till i finally seen his photo album, he said they were at a football game waiting for their freind to show up, well the guy never made it, they went to look for him and i think he said they found him walking toward the game...im not exactly sure, well anyways, he rolled the cabriolet, and luckily was unhurt but was stuck inside the cockpit of the car...upside down! well he said he had to kick the door open and then he got out, lucky as hell if you ask me!!

    After that Louie bought the car from him as he was going into the service. Louie proceeded to channel the car and put a souped up flathead in it and a dropped axle reversed wheels white walls etc etc, so here are the pics of it at the seen of the accident and when Louie fixed her up.

    Louie must have needed a windshield quick...looking at the last pics next to the 40 coupe. What is that? a 32 3w WS or 33/34?

    That 40 looks mint for back then.

    Pretty fortunate it landed in low-lands...nice soft soil, by the looks of the terrain.

    Looks like the 40 picture was taken in Duluth. Does he have the roadster sitting in a garage also?:D
