My 32 Roadster

YOUR Dad has a real neat kid to do what you have.
Drive the wheels off of it. He Got his wish, the car is PERFECT in every way!!!!
 
Thanks for the great comments everyone!! They mean a lot . I am going to drive the Roadster today just for my Dad . Even if it's just to the coffee shop , it will be perfect !!

I hope everyone enjoys the their day !!!

Here are a few more pics. The first one is just a few of my Dad through the years . He was a huge picture taker and I am fortunate to have thousands of pictures to enjoy .

Here is when we drug the Roadster body out of the barn. He had a few Roadster bodies along the way but he would sell them and go find a better one. Problem was that he sold the last one in 1971 and had also started a family around the same time so he ended up getting stuck without one . He had every other part but a body . He was always on the hunt and he found this one . There is a cool story that goes along with it but we will start with the pics .
First one is when the door was opened for the first time in 20+ years . We had to dig it out . My Dad was a happy guy !!

And the last for now , she is safe and my Dad was super happy and excited . This is in a good friends shop where the car stayed for a while . We lived in a residential area with a 2 car garage so he had to make room . I will post a pic of that later . It was a tight squeeze .

This really is a great story and car.
You have done the right thing.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
 
You are lucky to have enjoyed your time with your Dad, and he is lucky to have you carry on where he left off. What a great story. Hope you have a son to carry on from you. Thanks for sharing this with us.
 
That is just great! The story and the car. Thanks for sharing..it reminds me once again of what is actually important.
 
I admired your roadster @ Deuce Days in Victoria. Knowing the story behind it doubles it's coolness. Thanks for sharing the story behind it. Stan
 
I have admired your car ever since I saw photos of it, I guessed there might be a great story to go with it, sure enough you have just given us a a wonderful account.
Your car is perfect, the nicest 32 roadster ever in my opinion, stance, engine, etc but best of all is your connection with your father.
Many thanks for posting.
Gordon.
