Anyone recognise this '32 coupe

It's in Australia now, rumoured to be an ex drag car out of Long Island. Any help in tracking what appears to be a colourful history would be appreciated.

 

good for a bump

 

Looks like it's been run hard and put away wet on more than one occasion. Still it is an original '32 so anything more than a piece of rain gutter calls for a compete restoration.

3w's don't have rain gutters, Frank.

 

Actually they do Larry,...... Around the deck lid ,.....
Don't EVER question Frank !

I realize someone knowing this car is a long shot, but I'll push it up once more just in case.

 

What are your plans?

It's not mine unfortunately, it belongs to a very good friend of mine, I've been making some parts for the engine - a flat head Caddy.

 

Can we give this another try, it is progressing well, the body is well on the way to being rescued.
