Default 32 Cabriolet joins Deuce Family...

From denver, colorado area we got this chopped top never built-up gibbons body. I added a set of american stamping frame rails using original '32 k and cross members, rebuilt front and rear axle assemblies, 16" '35 wheels with too-old tires, original deuce steel fenders, grille, hood, running boards, aprons, handles. I laminated oak for the front bow and formed steel strap for the rear folding bows. A black fitted sheet is temporary to show the top profile. It has a rebuilt '39 toploader installed behind a 59ab engine but it is in need of a total overhaul.

We are searching for a good running flathead engine 1942-1953 within driving range of 57703.
A nice addition to our deuce family.
