That's sure true. A '32 Ford is a thing of beauty. Especially a Roadster or a three window coupe IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. I wouldn't walk across the street to look at a '32 that has been rodded. It's the same as taking a Michelangelo art work and spray painting graffiti all over it Yuck! That just makes an original unmolested '32 that much more attractive.
