    Now come on, couldn't you get that little ol' car in the space any straighter than that?

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    Actually when I got there the valley parking guys let me park it myself, they sent me to this HUGE deserted lot, so I parked at the end and was miles away from any other cars. When I came out of the restaurant, the lot was packed!! Ann that's when I saw my hiboy sandwiched between those two cars and thought it looked so out of place it warranted a quick funny photo!

    This is what the lot looked like when I parked initially: As you see, parking straight was not much of a priority at that time

    Faith, you must have researched this one a lot before you plunked down the cash for the '32, because you did well. It sits right, looks good, and seems to have been constructed with a great degree of skill and talent. It also really sticks to the "period theme" well, and does not have any goofiness about it. I see so many cars that mix themes and just miss the mark, but I like your car from every angle.

    You really did well.


    By the way, I have always referred to these headlights as 682 C, but who knows. The headlight makers back then had many models. The ones with turnsignals on top have always been my favs, but they are also everybody else's too, and the price is getting too high for my blood.

    They stand out pretty well.

    I have the only 32 at the Saturday morning donut run.

    I use the car to run around town and for general transportation.
    After all, if it ain't fun to drive, why bother?

    People talk about belly button 32's, but even at 400 car, car shows there are seldom more than 3-4.

    On the street you'll find you're the only one.

    In close to 14 years of running my 32, I've only crossed paths once with another 32.

    And . . . a couple of T-Buckets and one A roadster.
    The cars are out there, but most of em don't get driven.

    Looks like you're driving yours.
    Good for you.

    Weeeesh,that's a hot looking roadster you got there! Tell me about your top, does it fold down (aka: you can keep it on body but it fold back) -

    A top is on my list of priority expenses, as winter comes closer. But I want one that folds down (like a cabriolet top would) - I don't care for a top that has to be either up or off the car - It forces me to decide, when I leave the garage, whether to take it along or leave it home. I like flexibility and OPTIONS. So if I'm on a long ride, I can leave it down or put it up if it gets way too cold or hot.

    Then of course "TOPLESS IS MORE FUN"
