concourse correct details

Cool...
As one who bends the rules and take our big old truck with 4 cyl engine on the concourse at a national Early V8 meet, I think you will do just fine! I like your car! Good luck! Post some pictures too!
Regards,
Chris

Are those original bullet holes or aftermarket bullet hole on the left side of the cowls?

Those ain't BULLET holes. Those are the remnants of an old antenna.

....and your truck was the first vehicle I spotted, and one of my favorite there, when I arrived at this years EFV8 Club's Eastern National Meet in Franklin Tennessee.
 
like Harrison Ford aka Bob Falfa american graffiti said that must be a field car and the proof is inside the LR wheel well but hey i think there’s a beer can being dragged behind that beautiful old Ford i’m jealous
 
I'm really glad you posted the photos of the whole car. It is very nice! I can't speak for all, but I don't think we are making fun of a concourse restoration. A car restored to that level requires hours of dedication, research and knowledge combined with a tremendous amount of hard work. They have their place right up there at the top, but the weekend dabbler starting with a pile of good useable, albeit mismatched parts can have a lot of fun at it as well. I would not be at all surprised if I was to (over)hear some folks standing around the grass at Pebble Beach making fun of a vehicle such as the one in this post. Correct me if I'm wrong. One more thing... Who's to say they weren't both bullet holes AND antenna mount holes. Anny Oakley coulda done that with ease.......

Very cool, and that's pretty much how I would keep it. Thanks for the pics!

JM, the car will remain as it is as long as I own it except for whatever it takes to remain mobile

How about the incorrect carburetor ? It is a 94 type carburetor, where it should be a Detroit Lubricator carburetor. I am surprised that David G. did not catch that, although he did state that it was a nice starting point. The horn is not an aftermarket item, it is a late 1932 ford horn.

Nick, at least it still has Polly gas in the tank

Joe, that is not a beer can, it is a can of Bars Leak

Interesting location for an outside rear view mirror on that cabriolet.

David, the mirror is absolutely worthless as it is out of the line of sight

TJ (Hi, happy New Year) The taillights are factory replacement 1946 Ford units.

What no one noticed the wire nuts used for the head light wiring that's going to cost some points deduction! :D

Ronnie, they came from the same drawer as the glass screw in fuses

GB, I know the dedication, hard work, and time involved in a proper restoration. I am involved in two body off projects. This car will remain as it was in 1950 when the owner packed his belongings into the car and fled New Jersey for the Golden State. He settled in Healdsburg which is close to being the Garden of Eden, and kept the 32 until he passed.

Did that year run a voltage regulator?

Bill, only on the 12 volt equipped cars
 
I didn't even know it was a '32 for quite a while. And then when someone mentioned something about a 'cabriolet' I had been assuming it was a coupe. So now I need to know how a coupe differers from a cabriolet? My focus has always been on the trucks.
