Your favorite 32 past and present

I'm kinda partial to the Vaughan roadster...

 

I also like Jeb Scolman's RPU.

 

They all look great BTTT

 

I like them all, but I am partial to mine.

 

This is my favorite 32. Just because it is mine. However I like them all.

Here are a few of my pasts and now... starting on my present 32 5-window! I'll be changing it to be more "my style" in the future. But for now this is the way its staying...

Hope you enjoy....

Always been my 2 favorites right here at home.

 

The newest coupe of Von Franco was mine for almost 9 years till I sold it last March...sad day. I had alot of fun in that car. I had to sell it to fund a gennie roadster build. That is the fastest car I have ever been in. It is like threading a needle at full throttle. I put that engine in that car 30 days before I sold it.67 327 .30 over 11-1 compression with just about every trick in the book. It was fresh with a handful of passes on it. It was in a 1955 all-steel gasser that was over-carburated with dual quads and a 4 speed...It bogged real bad out of the hole and it still ran a 12.70 with 3.55 gears! I would imagine it is a mid to low 11 second car being 1000 pound lighter and 4.11 gears if you could get it to hook. The frame under that car came from the Henderson roadster (one of the 75 most important 32s) The reason they didnt use this frame because this frame was z'd and they restored the Henderson car with a stock frame and made it late 40s period. I'm happy that Von Franco has the car. I know it will be amazing.

 

The world famous McQuillen coupe is an all time favorite! I hear the latest owner is even putting the original 265 in it. Super Bad

 

Von Franco, you got my pal Del's old coupe, that's great. It's a fast damn machine, right?
It looks great with the hubcaps.

 

I like my present one

 

I'm now quite partial to your roadster too.....very nice

 

I have a photo of Hank running his hiboy at the lakes on pump gas in 1947. -----Years before he became a LA County Judge!!-------Don

 

my old coupe...wish I had it back

 

Nads, the shinnie hub caps make it go faster lol.......................

 

Even faster.........wow!!!!!!!

There are plenty of precedents for the &quot;done in primer,&quot; beater-rod style that is so prevalent today, but Williams' torn-fender, red-oxide, Eights & Aces version of his gennie steel Deuce roadster is certainly one. Now it's transformed into the amazing chartreuse and purple Prickly Heat art statement, which is well worth a look, too. -Pat Ganahl" onerror="javascript:this.src='http://static.hotrod.com/_SiteConfigs/_global/images/no_photo_300px.gif';" src="http://imgs5.images.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/hrdp_0801_01_z+top_100_hot_rods+.jpg">






Robert Williams "Eights and Aces" (trying to find a better pic) still is one of my faves

 

Here's a great car from long ago that I've never seen since. This article is from the July '52 issue of Hop Up, and details Bob Longman's channeled purple deuce roadster. To my eyes, the most distinctive feature of this otherwise nice roadster is the full belly pan -- gives it an amazing profile, although the road test (presumably written by Dean Batchelor) complains about its minimal ground clearance.

Never saw this car in public, in a show, or in any subsequent publication. According to the article, it was raced both at the lakes and the drags. I wonder what became of it.

 

Good to see someone posted photos of Håkon Erixons coupe.
Here's some more. Every time i see it, i'm drawn...




And here's some pics (gleefully ripped from a glossy-mag site!!) of Jim Benitez' Sedan. Nicest one i have ever seen. Still get juicy when i see it.... Just sit and look at it for a while.
Clean.
Simple.
Uncluttered.






These and Busby's coupe are among my favourite 32's.

Mr Darwas' work is high on the list too! Pics of his latest are up earlier in the thread.....
