And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Most Deuce Coupes you see have the side covers off. People were proud of those flatheads. Same reason you see refrigerators on the front porch of houses in the south.
Looks like the side cover is underneath the car. And the wheel covers fit. Unobtrusive, but protect the sides. And it's Arizona; not going to be driving it during the monsoons. Tomoldguy
I wonder if the license plate reads ‘VICTORIA’ suggesting Australia instead of Arizona as mentioned in a comment above. Admittedly, I needed to really squint and imagine in order to visualize that. Plus, the sole outside rear view mirror and the orientation of the inside rear view mirror suggest a RHD car.
Assuming that it is indeed a 1932 Ford, something that appears to be unusual about this particular example is the front-to-back depth of the grille shell. This one appears too slim or shallow. There shouldn’t be a need to modify that piece in order fit within a limited space because other than perhaps the original headlight bar (that this modified car does not have), there’s nothing closely in the way in front of it. This one even appears to have the front tips of the frame rails removed. An Internet search for images of 1932 Fords will illustrate how unusual this one above appears.
Looks like one of the awesome kit car bodies Speedway Motors has, frame kits too, all ready to mount your driveline. Maybe one day. That is a great color green, very well built for sure.
If it was mine that ('32?) would have respectable fenders and running boards and side covers on the engine compartment.
ReplyDeleteA cool, chrome hood ornament would be alright too.
And perhaps a very moderate amount of light green pinstriping - nothing gaudy.
The way it looks now is incomplete.

Boastsnipper it's not yours so just say that's nice and shut up.

I'd be more concerned with flying gravel-sand-stones than water.
DeleteIs it me, but has that hood (and therefore the frame) been stretched to make room for a modern engine, radiator, etc.?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful looking - never imagined that color of Green could look outstanding, it certainly looks great!
