Looks like a great venue for such a hot day. I would love to attend an all ford meet someday. I see enough chevs and mopars on the auction shows. Don't need to see them in person. Looks like some good ol Fords at the show.

Love that 5 window highboy. How many cars showed up? I went to this years ago and there were a lot of cars.

When does one of these '32 type hot rods become a 'high boy'? I see the term a lot. Not trying to change the subject or hijack, but being a truck guy I see the term and wonder.

Why is a 32 Ford called a highboy?

https://www.curvesandchaos.com/why-i...led-a-highboy/

When building a hot rod one of the key decisions is whether to channel the body allowing it to sit low on the original frame, or to mount it sitting on the frame – when using this latter method the hot rod is called a “highboy”.

What is a Model A highboy?
The 1932 model year roadster being the most popular in all hot rod categories, including the highboy. It safe to define the highboy as a roadster or coupe that had the fenders removed but maintained factory body mounting configuration.

LOWBOY

Got it Pete, Thanks! Never ridden in or driven a hot rod of any sort. Now back to the Oregon show.

Hiboys also have no fenders.
