The Other Deuce...

In 1932, Ford ruled the depression-ravaged automobile market. Ford cars had a very loyal following, but much of their success in 1932 can be attributed to the introduction of a peppy V-8 engine in a low-priced car. Yet there were other good cars built in 1932. Though Ford and Chevrolet built half the cars sold in 1932, I am partial to the Model PB Plymouth, introduced in April. This blog tells the story of the hot-rodding of a Model PB Sport Roadster -- The Other Deuce.

More Metal Work

It is now early August, 2010. Dan has finished a lot of needed metalwork on the main body section and lots of small miscellaneous body pieces. A few pictures tell the story better than words. His workmanship is remarkable!
