    hi. my grandfather bought this car in 1957 and used it until he parked it at the barn in 1962.
    The car has been standing at the same place for 47 years:)
    My grandfather wanted to see the car back on the road againe, before its too late. so he gave this car to me.

    My whole familiy was amazed when i started it, after a few houers in the garage.;)

    What a great car! I would'nt do a lot to it, maybe clean it up a little and just drive it.

    Welcome. Very nice 1932 Tudor. Love the front skirted fenders. Don't think I have ever seen a 32 with those before.
     
  7. Neat looking car, the skirted fenders and the suicide doors are two obvious differences from US built versions.
     
  8. I had mine for 12 years,finally let it go....(the front fenders were a facelift for 1934)..its in Germany now...and I only have the model and memories....

    Gee that thing is cool. Hardly looks likes the 32's in the States. Check out the flow of the cowl at the bottom, between the hood and the door. Does it use a specal frame? Can't hardly see any of the frame between the body and the running boards. Almost looks like it is channeled. Nice car and a nicer grandfather.
     
  10. This sedan is a face lift model from 1934 on....some had chromed grills.Although 'English(or European)' cars are quite different from their US brothers they were built over quite a long production run.Our cars were taxed on engine capacity,so the B,s with their big 4's and even bigger V8's were very expensive cars to buy and own.( most of our family cars at this time were under 1000cc's)The face lift cars were 'factory' channeled,but the 32 models were not lowered as much. All were on stock B rails and running gear.Dont forget the biggest difference...suicide opening doors.I could write a book.......hope this fills in the blanks..
     
  11. Found a few old photos.......
