The Ford Barn

This may have been a topic on here before... If so sorry to repeat.

How many of you have or know of 3 digit or less 1932 Fords. If so what are the serial numbers? A post like this on Instagram turned up a rough bare frame that is 18-158, and a street rod roadster on a original frame that is 18-389 (may be the old Bill Honda roadster or so it seems). At my shop I have (i don't own it) 18-104.

Wow! I like early '32 stuff, and that is EARLY!

My little brother has a coupe in the 1,000's, and I have a bare frame in the 5,000's.

Michael,

I could be wrong and often am, but I seem to recall that the Bill Honda (RIP) roadster had a high two-digit number. There are several frames out there without bodies and without legs for the center cross member with numbers with three digits. Even low-end four-digit-number frames are scarce and whole cars more so.

I have a 32 ford with a two digit number not counting the 18

A whole car, largely original?

I know of someone who has a NOS 32 frame without any numbers. No, its not for sale. I had a NOS 34 frame at one time without numbers. Wish I still had it.

That '32 frame probably came from the late Don Orosco?

I had one once as well (NOS w/out numbers); it came out of an long-established dealership in Ohio.
