Gorgous car
How would you like to have this dripping oil in your garage? Supposed to be a 32 with an original engine. It was at a friends shop for some repairs. I hope to get up close and check it out.

Re: Gorgous car
It's dressed like a later European car. Overdressed by OEM standards.

Re: Gorgous car
Trying to make a Ford look like a Packard. Over accessorized.

Re: Gorgous car
Well . . . I would strip all the bling/bling the heck off of it . . . and see what is underneath. If it is an original car, with an original 32 V8 - I would make some room for it. I would also probably get rid of those dual side mounts . . . never liked one of them, and hate both of them!
And don't get me started on the 34 horns . . . might just blow an artery! LOL |

Re: Gorgous car
Interesting that someone would referenced Packard instead of maybe a 32 Lincoln of the day!!!! Some interesting mod's there.......would love to see more pictures of it for sure and the "add-ons". Looks to me a MIX.....of Lincoln touches and European touches......still a neat car in all its "glory" and I'd take it and leave it and enjoy it for awhile. I kinda like the chrome strips on the running boards that run up the back fender myself. The 34 horns are a little much for the front, I agree.

Re: Gorgous car
Are those chrome-plated wheels or just painted silver? Maybe the owner's business is chrome plating.

Re: Gorgous car
Remember the '32 at Hershey during the '70s with the chrome plated grill shell and insert?

Re: Gorgous car
Regardless of the extra accessories, it is still a lovely car. I would love it in my garage any day. |

Re: Gorgous car
Way too shiney for me, but that's what makes the world turn. It's still a 32, it maybe has too much extra weight one it.

Chrome is one of my favorite colors. I'll take it.

Re: Gorgous car
Sure enough works for me. I have had an affliction my whole life. Since ever I can recall anything built before 1960 ( and yes many tons after that year ) get me wanting to drive, repair, tinker, wash ans wax. I simply love love 'em all.
Now any safety equipment just makes life that much better. 1937pickup, thanks for sharing. Hope you can weasel a ride in it. Maybe hang on the wheel for a couple of blocks. Wave to the citizens like its yours, and don't forget HONK HOONNK! I'm gettin' worked up just thinking of it. Thank you.
