Not to be a stickler but the deuce stands for the 2 in '32.

Nice mix of restored cars and streetrods, kudos to your friend! I'm including a photo of my early '30s 1933 Chevy streetrod.
Those early Chevys are rare. Didn't they have a lot of wood framing inside?

Beautiful pictures---beautiful cars. I expect they never looked this good when new? Although not classics--any of them---they certainly show many hours of restoration and much money finding parts and replating. ----ew

I love classic cars! Thanks for sharing these. One thing I noticed that I thought mildly humorous, is that all of these cars have modern tires on them. That's to be expected, of course, but tread design and tire construction has come a long way, same with the automobile itself.

Fred: Except maybe for the Lincoln, these are the everyman's cars. As for the coming a long way---yes, in many ways and many ways undesirable. Who can fix a new car? Some of these cars cost less than $500.--new. Even with probably 15 times inflation, that was cheap compared to modern $30-40 grand amorphic "sardine cans." As for longevity---in my childhood, 20 year old cars were out and about. An old man in the next block died and his personal prop. auctioned off. He had a 1928 Studibaker which he drove every day. It sold for $27. I wanted to buy it at 16---but when I ran home to get permission--my Dad merely said--"ARE YOU NUTS?"----ew

Beautiful cars. I didn't know that red was so popular then. LOL
Dear Foathhog.
Remember what Henry Ford said about the Model T Fords, you can have any color as long as its Black "
Then in 1926 & 1927 he introduced green, light brown maroon & of course black. Remember many you see today were repainted, mine is cranberry red ,1930 Model "A" Ford.
PS.. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & yours & Pax.
