Guys, one of the biggest fans of the custom scene of the 1920s and 1930s was Edsel Ford. Near the end of the run of model T production he had a sweet cloth top business coupe built that looks a little like a model A and a little like a Linoln of the day. When he passed on he still had a custom 1932 roadster customized with a deuce radiator shell mated to what looks like a 1933 hood and cowl sectioin and had a boat tail rear like an Auburn would have in 1935. There was also a 'speedster' built on what appeared to be a 1935 Ford base car. These were sold by the family to a collector in the 1970s. The collector has had them both restored and they appear in a hard cover book at Barnes and Noble. I don't recall the title of the book. These are also shown with a little history on a website that is about Edsel Ford.Wayne
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
