At that time it really was. I've seen old Vettes and early T-birds treated a lot worse.
I could have bought a 1954 or 55 Vette in a barn at one time for $3000. I didn't buy it because there was a lot of clear coat cracking. And barn finds were common!

 

Please, no more non-HAMB friendly photos. This is a traditional hot rod and custom car website.
This thread was damn near shit down due to pin-ups and other off topic photos. Let's not lose it.

 

What's the problem flats?? I'm lost.

 

I just scrolled back two pages and didn't see anything off topic. Beats me?

 

Frank Kurtis built, Bill Hughes roadster.

 

Connie Weidell’s nicely styled Model T roadster with side mounted exhaust and two carburetor stacks protruding thru the hood. Cut down ’32 Ford grille and good looking big and bigger white wall tires.
(from Custom Car Chronicle website)

 

Model A-Roadster with a ’35 Cadillac dash adapted for a much more exclusive look.

 

This ’29 Model A-Roadster is probably the same one as the photo above with the ’35 Caddy dash. I guess its the owner who is hiding out behind the two Carb intake.

 

’39 Ford Phaeton with winter tires on the back.

 

Another Model A Ford Roadster, this time one with the fenders still on. It looks like it was dressed up with some longer chrome plated headlights.

 

Model A-Roadster in the works at this small size garage.

 

Nice looking ’32 Ford Roadster with chopped windshield, dressed up two carb-ed flathead engine and nice looking ’36 Ford headlights.

 

’42 License plate is mounted on this ’32 Ford Roadster with removed front fenders and running boards.

 

Apparently the guys from the Sacramento scene also visited the speed shops in So-Cal. The guy in the photo looks like one of the owners of a ’36 Ford Coupe in another Ed Jenson article here on the CCC. The were visiting the Eddie Meyer Sunset Blvd. shop in Hollywood and thought it was special enough to take a snapshot of it.

 

Close up of the two carb-ed four banger engine from Model A-5-window coupe.

 

’29 Model A-Roadster with ’32 Ford grille and frame on the streets of Sacramento.
