On Barret Jackson last night. It appears it had some upgrades over the years. 1932 FORD CUSTOM ROADSTER (barrett-jackson.com) Lot #1102 - This is the original 1932 Ford Roadster built and once owned by Sam Conrad, a founding member of the LA Roadsters car club. This notable vehicle has been featured in films that include "Hot Rods to Hell" as well as countless magazines, most notably Road and Track, MotorTrend and Hot Rod, which detailed the exact build of the car. What makes this vehicle so incredible is not only the connection with Bob Gorby, one of the most famous hot-rodders in history, but the connection to what some considered to be one of the most iconic musical groups, the Beach Boys. The Sam Conrad roadster not only appeals to the general automobile enthusiast but to hot-rodders, music lovers and car collectors around the world. Included with the vehicle is a multitude of magazines, photographs, original 1963 California license plate JFS 003, LA Roadster tag plate, hand-drawn schematics, handwritten notes, service records and Bob Gorby's personal documented ownership history of the car.
This was one of my favorites also ....when the 56 pulled out ....I was thinking , How cool is this movie getting.
