90th Birthday coming up
My oldest 32, a standard tudor sedan will be 90 years old pretty soon. Its an early serial number *18-6818* so I think the actual birthday is somewhere in mid March. We are planning a big celebration, maybe a new set of tires and a wiper blade.

More likely it would have ended up being a complete vehicle in early May given that its engine was not produced until very late in April, 1932. |

I certainly hope that there are no plans to restore that car. It is PERFECTION as it sits! Those 16" wire wheels just top it off! DD . |

Re: 90th Birthday coming up
Dave,
Thanks for your comments, all I know is that it's an early car, didn't think it would take a month to get six thousand cars off the assembly line so I guessed at mid March. Late April, early May just as good. V8COOPMAN, I have no plans to restore it, just trying to keep it road worthy and safe, if anything I would like to get a 32 engine back in the car. It currently has a 33/34 engine probably installed in the 30s. I do have an early right hand dipstick block that needs to be rebuilt. Also having no luck finding a correct early oil pan. Easy to enjoy this car, don't have to worry about damage or deterioration, it's already there. |

Re: 90th Birthday coming up
The early oil pans for blocks with the dipstick in the block on the right side are quite scarce, more so than the so-called flange-block engines themselves.

Re: 90th Birthday coming up
I could kick myself, there was an early no dipstick pan in one of the Hetland auctions at Indy. With permission, I left a note to the buyer on the part, no response. There was no auction lot number on the pan so it must have been included in a lot. Crazy this day and age still looking for hen's teeth.

Re: 90th Birthday coming up
in my pile of parts I found a left hand side exhaust manifold,I had kept it for a spare for the 33, but it has no kink in it to clear the dipstick. would it be off one of those 32 engines with the dipstick in the pan on the right hand side?

Re: 90th Birthday coming up
Lawrie,
No, all '32 V8s had left side exhaust manifolds that were the mirror image of the right side manifold. When the dipstick was moved to the oil pan on the left side it was positioned outside the manifold rather than between the manifold and the engine block starting with the '33s. |

Re: 90th Birthday coming up
Lawrie,
I'm good with exhaust manifolds. A pair of 32s on the right, later left side on the left. Tom |
