The 32 arrived just before heading out of town for 10 Days. I had a few moments to add one of my Greyhounds, my FORD V8 plate and a Pegasus sticker..
from the short ride I did, it runs strong and smooth, all the signs that I can actually go drive this way out of town on the feeway. Has the typical weak battery after a long trip in a trailer. I was aware it was a rumble car, but not aware there was no rumble! No soft goods at all in the back but that is ok because I want to put it back to a trunk car, which apparently it was originally.
The choke knob is the cowl lights on first pull, and headlights on second. There is a TINY toggle switch on the steering column which is turn signals, another item I I’d not know about. The sheet metal is really fine, the rear trunk/rumble area is as solid as I have ever seen. Gas gauge works but speedo does not. Paint is old and cracking in places, mainly faded, but has that character I was hoping for. All in all, a really great long time ownership hot rod.

Ah yeah, Andy's ol' coupe! I thought it looked familiar. You'll enjoy this one. Andy puts together good, wholesome cars, except for his taste in choice of wheel color. DD
