One more, taken late this summer. The car sat for 23 years under cover in the garage. I've refrained from posting this car in this forum however I suspect there are many here wth a similar story. If we had the resources we would put it back as close to original as possible.

I agree totally. Didn't used to but I have come to my senses!

Caught this one just before it was to be modified and reversed its course.

My dear friend I got the 33 phaeton and 32 5w body from before he passed away had a saying about chopping a car " That is a lot of work to go through to ruin something".

Amen to that statement. Probably made by Bill Steil.

Beautiful car DavidG. It just blows me away the beautiful two color paint and pinstriping that was on these "low" priced cars back in 1932.

Well, guess I'm looking for trouble, but I love the chopped look on 32-33-34 era bodies! But to me it only looks correct on fenderless Hot Rods. Any body I have every performed major modifications on were already too far gone for a restoration, mostly stripped ex-dirt track bodies. I really respect restorations, but some pieces of metal are too far gone for that. Here are some examples of current pieces I have laying around and I'm working on.

I'm kind'a with JSeery on this. In the case of the Vicky, and from MY perverted perspective, these two similarly-equipped Vickys display (to ME) just how pleasing a tastefully-chopped specimen appears, as compared with the boxy, mile-high stocker. Hate me if you like! DD

My opinion: on those two examples they are both beautiful. Can't say which I prefer. But I think I would get claustrophobia driving the chopped, so if I was buying a driver I think I would prefer the high roof.
