Seeking the whereabouts of........

Dave, Am I mixing up two cars? Did you have another 32 roadster painted Winterleaf brown at Hershey in 1969 with that same plate on it?

 

[DavidG]

No, just the one painted Old Chester gray and Tunis gray. Proof positive that colors in photos can be misleading, especially in older pre-digital photos.

Wow all this time I thought that color was Winterleaf brown. Any way, Hope you locate that roadster.

For those whom own the 1932 Ford Book, this photo appears in the first few pages of a very young David. I presume this is the same car. I really like the KR Wilson carburetor mounted fuel can in the photo. Looks like he is having a blast!

Michael,


Good spotting of the KRW fuel tank. Same car; couldn't wait to put the seat in before taking a spin around the block. That photo was taken in 1966, as I recall.

53 Years later and you are still hard at it restoring 1932 Fords!

Tom,


I found another photo that might help.

 

[BoxCar Tom]

No help, I'll get over it. I'll just paint all my 32s Black. Again I hope you locate that roadster. It was a show stopper!!!

Tom,


That it was; I've have yet to see its equal in all respects. Funny you should mention black as the standard roadster restoration that I am finishing up is that.
