History The Schutt '32

Yikes, definitely don't care for this view. That is one big posterior.
Mac's version was perfect.

 

WOW! Guess it was Bert's to do with whatever he wished, but that original look from Mac was perfect.

 

Did the headers go thru the framerail?

 

Yeah, I'm also a fan of the original Ford beltlines. I don't think removing it helped the look of this roadster.

 

Mac's build is like a channeled version of the Walker Morrison roadster. Great looking car!

 

Yes, Mac's version was a great looking Hot Rod. I agree that the molded rear fenders ruin the body lines, but I'm a traditionalist when it comes to old Hot Rods.

 

Even so, I still prefer Mac’s version
Me too

 

IMO, this is what a true Hot Rod roadster should look like.

 

It was still there in the early version, just not so pronounced.
Cool roadster either way,

 

version # 2 is only cool because it is a survivor. wonder how they did that to the body lines in the back and what it looks like from the inside

 

Thank you Ryan for posting this and thank you guys for all your input. I have been the car taker of the car for 36 years now. I've always been in a quandary about which version to restore the car to. Don Montgomery told me to leave the car the way it is and not touch it. Mac's son and daughter want it back to their fathers version. When I met Ray Brown
the first thing he asked my, do you still have the motor I build. Unfortunately it was parted from the car along the way.
Mac and Bert where both hard core Hot Rodders. Mac went on to Bonneville in 1949 with a T roadster and Bert teamed up with David Mitchell and raced a Olds power Allard. then Bert went on to racing Siatas. Bert ended up
a Superior Court Judge in Pasadena. Bert wanted something fast, so he knew just where to go and Ray built him a full race flathead to fit the bill. The metal work is finished as smooth on the inside as out. They shrunk the reveals and added the fenders that go up into the body with very little lead. I've read it was done by Barris, but cannot confirm this. This photo is of the car now.

 

@Nobey so cool that you own this car, it must be tricky to know what to do with such a car, well done on looking after it!

 

The best would be to restore Bert's version you have now, and build a replica of Mac's.

Or, just drive the heck out of it as it is now, and share the story.

 

As great as the earlier Schutt version is (also my favourite) car needs to stay as the Bert Mouron roadster due to the body mods. Would be better to replicate the Schutt roadster.

 

What a cool car! I like all the versions!
