I had a 32 Chev 5W coupe back in 56-57.Cost me $75 and I put 10,000 miles on it.Only trouble I ever had was a broken valve spring-twice.Since the valves were in line with the cyls,no damage was done and I could replace the spring in about 20 minutes by sticking a screw driver in the spark plug hole to hold the valve up & hooking a tool under the rocker arm to compress the spring so I could insert the retainer.The body looked in good shape,but the door posts were letting the doors sag.After I sold that car,I went back to a model A again.
