Default 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.

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

Trying to make a Ford look like a Packard. Over accessorized.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Tom, thanks for the words, I will try my best to get a ride. I also want to check the engine out to see if it is an original 32. I need to print the description posted on here by one of our very knowledgeable members.
