Re: Dad\'s Roadster
 

Nice car but I don't think it's a Ford. Cowl area where tank would be looks wrong, radiator shell and headlights look wrong. Still a nice car.

Re: Dad\'s Roadster
 

are you on the same page as the rest of us ? the car is a 1932 ford roadster, NOT A MODEL A. nick.

Re: Dad\'s Roadster
 

Sorry Bill,... That's 100%, Grade "A", NHRA Prime 1932 Ford Roadster,.... The tanks were in the rear,.... Bill,.. you've been looking at to many Model A's.:D

So that's Prof. Old's Pops. What a beautiful car. I need one just like it. No wonder he has the knowledge he has if he grew up with this stuff around.

Awesome 32 history pictures. No matter how you try we cant seem to capture the authentic feel of a real war time hot rod picture feel. A time long gone but not forgotten. Way cool saving these memories.

No problem Daddyo, your hoodsides are solid.. :D

My dad (behind the wheel) with his siblings. It was a 1929 Roadster with a lot of modifications. He had this car all through college. The best stories are when he used it to transport my Mom (after they were got married) from Cleveland to Grove City, OH.

He always wanted another roadster, but had to settle on a Tudor (which he thought was a better car for touring and taking friends on rides - but he always wanted another roadster.)

He passed away Labor Day 2010 - and he never got the Roadster - but he passed his love of the Model A to me and I to my daughter.

:D

Re: Dad\'s Roadster
 

Wonderful pictures and history here. Thanks for sharing

Re: Dad\'s Roadster
 

Thanks for sharing, these guys are the real pioneers of what we love and do. Wonder what pics our kids will post in years to come?

Re: Dad\'s Roadster
 

They'll be archaic jpgs of my kids riding in our '97 Saturn while texting and playing Nintendo DS.

Remember the old texting thing, back before brain implants wired everyone together via satellite? That was back before dilithium crystals replaced gasoline.

Re: Dad\'s Roadster
 

Amazing stuff ! Thanks !

Re: Dad\'s Roadster
 

I admit I have never been interested in cars until the model A and I only study the yrs 28-31 so I wouldn't know a 32 if it hit me. But I am loving the details on the model A's. Bill G

Re: Dad\'s Roadster
 

There is so many great pictures and stories here! It's a look into the past. Love it! : )

Re: Dad\'s Roadster
 

Woah! Somehow I missed this thread that Ryan the administrator started with the picture I posted of my dad and his roadster. Glad Gr0met just posted and brought it to the top so I caught it. My dad doesn't do the internet so I'm going to print it up and give it to him. He still carries that first picture of him and his car in his wallet and shows it to everyone he meets. All of your favorable comments will just thrill him to pieces. (He's 86 now.)

Thanks all!

Here he is 70 years later sitting in "Old Henry" (that he bought for $100 in 1959) just as we started restoring it in 2006. As much as he loves that car he still talks of the days of his roadster and dreams of finding it again someday.
