This is your FAMILY HISTORY !!
Lol...seriously, If I was lucky enough to have a piece like that handed down to me I could never sell it.
Some things just are'nt for sale. IMHO, this is one of them.
to me NO amount of $$$ could replace it OR what it represents.
Just my humble thoughts.
Great cars guys, keep em coming !!
I myself lean to traditional hot rods, 1940s Westergard styled customs and mid 1930s - late 1940s cars.
Here are mine.....
Pre WWII dry lakes roadster, 21 stud flathead, original 32 trans and rear end.

1932 Ford 3W coupe with (now)...
"The British are second only to the Norse in their ability to recreate excellent period hot rods. Something about being overseas seems to focus a guy on doing things right."
Totally agree Dave - the Swedes especially turn out some of the nicest traditional hot rods in the world. Brilliant...
Dave I think you'll find that this nice A roadster is from the land of the Limeys. :D
The stance is correct for a pre WWII roadster. My Deuce roadster runs a "heavy" undropped original axle - many pre war street based/dry lakes roadsters didn't run dropped axles till after the war when Ed...
Yes the As are more attainable and JUST as cool, that one above is very correct, is it banger powered ? An update - the Deuce Roadster arrived last week....just in time for the Aussie Winter bbrrrr......haha.
All is good and she's a real peach; I will be ironing out a few little things; the 37...
Hey Dave, its taken me over a year to find the right car. Whilst Ive built other hot rods inc a 32 3W, what I was searching for was a pre WWII Dry Lakes Deuce roadster. The kinda car that some young guy would have souped up and ran it at the Lakes as well as on the street BEFORE Pearl Harbor and...
Lizzie,
The onset of Televison, how it affects the brainwaves and puts people into a semi trance leaving them state open to suggestion was not lost to savvy marketers of the time. As you've indicated, some saw through it, however clearly, most did not.
If you don't believe me, take a look...
Keepin the thread going gang - some pix of my latest ride : an all steel, pre WWII dry lakes 1932 Ford roadster !! She still has the mech Ford brakes and runs the 21 stud Flathead with a Thickstun PM7 intake :D
LOVE IT !!
HOP UP
WOW I havent had a chance to check back on this thread since the OP and Ive read each and every post, great input !!
Some fantastic insights for sure.
I think the spirit of the original post was intimating that its the MAGNITUDE of the changes that have taken place as well as the IMPACT on...
Hey all....Ive been a member on the HAMB for many years and some time ago remembered a thread about the Golden era and one particular post really summed it up for me and how things have become.
Still rings true more than ever and I thought Id share it with you all. ;)
Yes the Golden...
Art I went back and added them in - take a look !! So many people have commented on this hat and wanted to know where I found it. It speaks for itself !!
Put me down for another in the near future, thanks a mill !!

There was, however, a widespread public perception that Japanese invasion was imminent which persists to the current day.
Yes, and the Curtin Government of the time perpetuated that fear with posters and propaganda to help subsidise the war effort and stimulate enlistments - nothing new...
