Our '34 Cabriolet was purchased new on Aug 16, 1934 from Plainfield Motor Co. in Plainfield NJ. I bought from the lady In 1957.
Her Grandson had removed the engine for what, I cant recall. I had to argue to get the radiator so I could install the hood and grille.
I subsequently discovered that the frame was bent from an accident. All these years later the car still sits in the garage.
I was told that the car was a "Roadster" and upon seeing it was a "Convertible" The lady said "Does that mean you don't want to buy it ?" I bought it because I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
My brother and I are working on the '32 Tudor Deluxe that I bought with my previous weeks pay, a total of $52.50. I paid the same for the Cabrio.
You can't make these stories up.
