That is one ugly som *****,(I love it.)That would make a rad rod today .Slam it ,paint it, give it modern day drive train and you would be stylin.That ****er would turn a lot of heads going down the road.

 

Maybe turn their heads down to throw up.....

 

it looks to me slightly reminiscent of a VW Beetle, stretched out with a ford grill. It makes me shudder just thinking about it.

 

Must have been the prototype for the Edsel

Still, ya gotta appreciate the days when guys just took any old car - well, in this case not "any" old car (deuces are revered, after all) and customize it to fit THEIR tastes....oh....wait....that's what the HAMBdom is all about - never mind.

Gotta love that front bumper......

 

Correct me if I am wrong but I think that car was on the field at Meadowbrook this year.

 

Roofline has kinda got that Crosley vibe goin' on.

 

I think it is totally amazing. Look at the metal work that was done in 1932. Unreal! This is a true piece of automotive history.
