Pics of my 32 Henry cabriolet hiboy—-headed to NewZealand and new owners. Painted SAGE (light green) no clear as I prefer flat style paint(low maintainance) driven daily in s.Texas year around—washed 5–6 times in three years useage—looked the same clean or dirty.Flatheads Forever!!!
Saw this killer kick ass Chevy wagon down at the "ESTRANGED" Drags in Toutle Washington last Saturday. 8/17/2024 Now this is some amazing green ! This very cool 32 Ford, was a very subtle shade of green as well, at the same event.
I know this is an old post but does anyone know what green this is? I have a 50 chieftan and this looks similar to what is on it. Thanks
Hello, When we saw this terrific green Chevrolet pick up one morning. Green is not the paint color that is seen on most hot rods, let alone current road cars. But the finish on this old Chevy truck was pretty nice. The chrome wheels and blackwall tires made it look like the 60s custom trucks from our old 20 something cruising time and So Cal coastal area. Most trucks at the time were work force trucks, so, my thoughts went right to this old pickup truck we had seen many months earlier, perhaps a couple of years ago. It was sitting by the side of the road for weeks earlier in our coastal cruises. So, the old patina looked as if the salt air was winning on all counts. But, the new whitewall tires made it look nicer than with worn out tires. Jnaki After several side trips, weeks later into the coastal neighborhood, the old Chevy truck disappeared. Perhaps the sign on the door was calling it back home… to the cold PNW. or, it got a complete makeover and came out smelling like Spring time Roses… and a nice green paint… YRMV
Wish Tracy was more well known and got the recognition he's definitely earned. His coupe is just so right in every way! Definitely my pick!
Photo: Vnak Hello, Of all the times my wife and I were out and about on our “mind clearing” coastal highway, surf check, road trips, we have seen plenty of cool old cars and trucks. The comparisons are that there are more trucks seen as mild custom hot rods than sedans/coupes/roadsters on the road. But, none the less, my wife has learned to keep a sharp eye open for any and all old hot rods, custom cars and trucks driving or parked by the side of the road. "one of these guys is doing his own thing... which one will it be?" to paraphrase a well know children's popular song... We were out driving on some errands and came upon a nice two toned Ford truck. My wife saw it almost three blocks away. It was parked on the side of the road in an empty curb, as the adjoining property was a lengthy green park and sidewalk. She is getting better in spotting it from far away. So, “hot rod truck,” ahead on the right… was heard and now I could see it as we got closer. Nice color, nice stance and the chrome wheels brings back the “old school” look of our youth. But, it is always sad to see any old hot rod or hot rod truck being for sale. Jnaki Some of us are getting to the point of moving stuff out of the garage, that had been taking up space. Or the family needed garage space for parking the latest new station wagon and something, like a third wheel, has to go. Or as a lot of folks are now rolling into the sons/daughters or even granddaughters moving on to the next big step in their college adventures, it helps pay for a semester or two. There is/was a different, nice looking truck that was advertised for 16k and for awhile, we thought it was a good price. So, that would have paid for a couple of semesters of college studies and rent. Yikes! Nice truck and great memory from the old school look. We have not seen the green one still for sale, so a good sale price, perhaps was the reason it is gone. The early days of riding around in one of those very useful trucks has come a long way to today... YRMV So, good by (buy) for now...
