I saw nothing on yesterday's walk, and only these 3 tonight, but, it's the first deuce hot rod so far

and of the only 3 vehicles I saw, one is going to fill my desire to post a "what's under the car cover"

I barely spotted it

 but that grill is distinct

So I looked on Google Street View, where, sure enough, it was parked on the street once when the camera car came through 

oh! They have a couple more! 

Sharp Equipped

nice simple scallops to make this even better looking

I'd never until now ever heard of, or seen, what was done to Vic Edelbrock’s historic black Deuce roadster to win the AMBR, it was also the first Deuce roadster to win the trophy.

Eddie Bosio proudly shows off what he did. This included narrowed ’40 Olds bumpers, outside headers/exhaust, a curved custom windshield, cycle fenders (with mudflaps!), and lots of chrome and gold plating.

 Bosio kept it for decades, refusing to sell it to Vic Jr. 

Edelbrock finally prevailed, and got Roy Brizio to fully restore the car.

Deuce roadster from Iron Man and Iron Man 2

it turns out to be more than a movie prop, it belonged to Jon Favreau, who loaned it to production while directing Iron Man

The widow won't let it go to a new home ( and new goofball ) while it reminds her of her goofball when they were young. I kinda dig that. Still, I'd like to be the 1st on the list when she passes and the executor of the estate wants it to go to a good home, a '32 5 window

Sitting in a dusty barn in Kern County Illinois for over 40 years, her husband built it while in High School and college.

Receipts for cars they bought, (Jordan and 32 Ford) among the many things that his grandparents kept, and They Kept Everything

from Frank at http://familyephemera.tumblr.com/

11/23/28 my (Franks)  Great Grandmother purchased a green 1929 Jordan RE Sedan for $1290. My Great Grandfather had recently passed away so maybe that’s why she kept this receipt (better safe than sorry kind’a thing). This great looking auto was built in Cleveland, which is a nice reminder of how that city competed, and lost, against Detroit as a center of auto manufacturing. The sales contract lists some interesting add-on options that they bought including 1 brake light, and not 1 but 2 bumpers that my family splurged on. It also states that this beast of a car came with an engine that put out 27.3 horsepower. I would guess that it did 0 to 60 in about half a day.

10/27/33 my Grandfather traded in the Jordan for a used 1932 Ford Deluxe Coupe which is indeed the classic Little Deuce Coupe. He received $130.70 for his Jordan on the purchase of the Ford, which cost $443.70. This Ford is just great looking and has a rumble seat. What a cool concept those things were. I’m sure they disappeared for some good reasons, yet still wouldn’t it be cool to own a car that had one. (people in rumble seats were horribly injured in car crashes)

Looks like I'm not going to get the call to come see and photograph it, so let me tell you the story

Do I remember the name? Of course not. I remember the car. 1932 3 or 5 window. It doens't matter which.

Some guy working for the water department was next to a fence, he looks across the top and spots a '32 in a back yard... he tried the house, no one home.

He goes back, never finds anyone home.

He finally brings a tarp and hops into the yard, covers that deuce so no one else would spot it, and keeps trying to find someone home.

Eventually he gets there when the guy was home mowing the yard, and the guy said "Oh, You put that tarp on it, I was wondering!"

He gets told to come back the next day to talk about a deal.

So he shows up with a couple pockets full of money, thinking this could be 30-40 thou.

The guy meets him at the driveway, and says before we get to the car, you've got to take everything else, it's time for it all to find a new home, my brother has cancer, I need the money, and I haven't RACED it since the 60's

Yeah, raced it.

So he goes to the garage and opens the door to a full collection of race parts from the 60's. Organized, spaced out, a rack of cam shafts labeled. Carbs, intakes, magnetos, engines... truckloads.

Then this cost suddenly qualruples right? It doubles when it's a bonafide race car, at Lions, Irwindale, Pomona, etcetc, but with a garage FULL of race parts that cost of buying it all.. wow, just hit somewhere in the mid 6 figures right?

So then they walk out the back of the garage into the yard, cross it to the barn, and he says, you've got to take all this stuff too... and it's bodies, fenders, frames...

Well, damn. This must be a guy just out to break hearts and brag about his incredible collection of 32 Ford stuff and race car parts, right?

And then he turns to the buyer and says, "How about 5 thousand dollars?"

yeah. That really happened.

So, I've waited a couple weeks to see if I'd get an email to come see and photograph the cool stuff, and get the interview with the buyer, and bring you readers the imagery of the cool guy that struck a gold mine, and what the car looks like that kicked this off... but it doesn't seem it's going to be, and I wanted to share this incredible story with you I was lucky enough to hear at the Grand National Roadster Show last month

Paul Gommi's incredible 32 Fords... the delivery/panel truck is nearly untouched from the late 60's, and the Deluxe V-8 Phaeton is so rare... one of maybe 50 left in the world, and the only SCOT supercharged 21 stud ever built

 in the above, check out the cool coin holder at the right of the pencil holder

 I love this... the guy stole a drive in movie theater speaker for his radio!

 cool turn signal

 I think that is a motorcycle exhaust cooling fin. Damn good idea, but might be doing a lot more for appearances than cooling exhaust this far from the engine

 I dig that radio dial

 Another drive in movie theater speaker
