    Like I said before - awkward looking !!! Even my wife, when she saw the picture said it looked "wrong" and unfortunately, she wouldn't know a '32 Ford from a barn door.

    The doors are approx 26 inches
    The quarter from the rear of the door to front of the rear fender is approx. 16 inches.

    Both dimensions are identical to the blue conventional roadster.

    The cowl appears narrow, but I didn't measure it as the owners in the 2 days I was there were never at the car so I did feel a bit uncomfortable with my tape measure -

    Dave, I don't think that pearl white car is a Dearborn Deuce, the windshield and cowl aren't right. (see pic below) Along with the top shape being different. They use a proprietary windshield and have a modified cowl to allow for the roll up windows to match to the windshield pillar. Did you notice if it had roll up windows? There are other's out there making bodies with the hidden top/opening tulip panel, I think either Oze or Coast to Coast, could be one of theirs.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    That red roadster has a stretched hood which throws off the visual balance.
