    Last one for tonight is the display car for a company called Speed 33. This is another steel repop of what looks mostly like a '33/4 Ford roadster, but, much like the Dearborn Deuce, it has a very nice folding top that disappears into a compartment under the tulip panel, and roll up windows. Not really a surprise as the company is owned by a former employee of ASC who helped develope the Dearborn Deuce, and this car. This one, of course, benefited from the lessons learned on the Deuce and has some valuable refinements. Number one to me was I could actually see through the windshield rather than have my site line interupted by the top cross bar of the windshield frame. Second, the metal finish, both for gaps and smoothness of surface is VERY nice. But then, for a starting price of $27.5k for the body with top and windshield, you should expect that. The ergonomics of the car are nice, nice, nice! Though not as popular as a Deuce, this one should attract a lot of attention, and rightly so.

    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.
