Hot Rods HOLY COW Yet another Rare Cabriolet Deuce find Its raining Deuces

I was lucky 14 years ago to find my 32 Cabriolet,and enjoy driving her any chance I get rain or shine. So this guy comes up to me and tell me he's got a Cabriolet in the barn too. Well we BS for a bit and I ask if he has any of the Trim parts I'm missing. He didn't know because he hasn't looked at the old gal for over 25 years. So I grab his number and see if we can dig her out for a look. I'm driving home from the hotrod show and it's windy as heck and the number must have blown out oh **** ! I see the guy the following year and tell him what happened and so I grab his number and put it into my cell. Driving home from the show it start to pour like hell put the top on and make it home . I'm drying out the car with the towel and must have hit the phone into the drive. I go inside and eat ,yack and now looking for my phone. Go into the garage and run thru the car and open the door to find my cell on the drive and in the rain f-ing dead . Oh **** lost the number again and I'm cursed to see this 32. Well see the guy this year and got a chance to pick up the Cabriolet. After four years lof dreaming and loosing the number on this channeled old hotrod I finally got it. It's gonna need some love and parts but still a rare and cheap 32. So drive them old hotrods you just never know when you'll hear " I got one like that "

 

wow you are having a good coupe of months
couldn't make it out to you sat because of some flight changes for the wife
cant wait to see the new rides
tk

 

nice score glad you saved it.

 

damn! I opened that pic up in a photo editor and messed with it so I could see it better. that thing is ROUGH! good luck with it! what are you going to do with the quarters?? are they paper thin all the way around??

 

It looks worse then it is ,were the rust is bad on the one rear quarter. I'll have to take the whole thing to the dipper and see what's left. My buddy has a set of rear quarter panels for a cabriolet , so I'll have to see if he cut loose with them. I don't like them this rough but it was cheap and it had some parts (garnish on the windsheild ) that I needed too.

 

cool, glad you finally got it.

Man you got to be kiddin me. You got all the luck. I know I know.

The problem I get drivin the truck is I get old women telling me they remember an old car or so and so had a Indian motorcycle when they were in school. I got to quit cruisin by the nursing homes. LOL

Nice find. Glad you got another one. Its all good.

 

I would have been freaking out after the first time I lost a lead on a 32... NICE re-find

 

I saw it 4 yrs. ago, and it had one little rust spot.

 

I hope that you now carry a fresh sharpie to write numbers directly on your arm!
Of course with your luck, that might cause you a serious accident!

 

good rear for the 32 roadster cowl? Or maybe roadster cowl and modify tops of cab doors? Old timey channeled 32 maybe? Endless possibilities. Do you now own a 3 W John? Time sure flys by these days. Good to see you are still digging them up. Steve

 

How bout a BBQ trailor. Sure would keep the #1 Cabrolet a lot cleaner.
Good luck with the new one. Old Fart 1941 ( Tom )

 

great job john

 

Thanks but you really should get rid of the truck, before one of them cougar attacks you

 

Really? It was basicly outside in the elements from place to place I was told.

 

Talk about good karma! John, you must have been a benevolent saint in a previous life. Congrats!

 

Yeah, whatever. You still haven't found a 3 window though. ha ha ha

 

Hey Steve, I don't know what I'll do with it but have a few buddies that have been collecting parts as well. I'll take off the goodies I need and might p*** it along. I didn't have to give much for it at all ,so it will be good far all. I asked the guy who has the rearquarters for it and he'll sell them to me. and Yep

 

Never say never Aaron , still not as nice as the one you tease me with

 

Hey John, even I have a 3 window....but it ain't a 32, everybody has one of those. Mine is a tad bit rarer.

 

Holy **** that's why you have been so low keyed.. Your driving it to the pileup

 

Hey John.. when you are done fixing it up you can come by and drop it off at my house..

Congrats!

 

thats a great story to go with your find. cool!

 

Thank you and sorry to say I haven't had a chance to touch her. I just hope to get to her soon and not like my buddy were it sat for 25 years

 

Hey looky what I have...! Hahaha... and plowboy how did you sneak that one past Marcy?

Both you clowns make me jealous!

 

23 years left.....
maybe you'll get to it when you retire...lol
tk

 

Wow, and you found somebody that wanted to sell quarters. Cool haha

 

Stumbled upon this one last week.......spare cowl 'n all. Thought you might like to see it.

 

Wow, that's gotta be the save of the year. Whenever I lose something, it stays lost.

 

It probably had paint on it the 1st time you lost the number !
