I have always loved flames and 32 Fords! This is not a 32 but it does have flames...and it didnt cost me nearly as much as a deuce roadster. I have been working for about two years for a local dentist who has a large collection of hot rods, customs, and muscle cars. He has recently been thinning the herd and made me a good deal on this '51 convertible. It has a SBC 400 and a turbo 350, Mustang II front with power disc brakes and R &P steering. Looks like 9" Ford rear. It has nice black interior and real nice paint on a super straight body. It fits me well for where I am in my life right now at 72 and both me and my wife are happy to have it! I think I may have seen this car previously on the HAMB? My dentist-friend bought it in Wisconsin in 2015. Any history on the car is always helpful to know!!

I like it. As far as flamed cars goes, this one is done pretty well, no "tribal" or "true fire" airbrushed bullshit, it suits the car well. And it's a convertible to boot!
I have been hooked on flames since my first 32 Ford. The picture in my avatar is what my first 32 Ford looked like when I bought it for $1800. It had a Studebaker V-8 adapted to a 39 trans. Here is a picture of it completed. . Can you tell by the rear tires that it was a 70s build?
