bbowser Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Finished this one up today. A departure from my usual '50-70s cars, but I really enjoyed it. I'm going looking for some more of the '30s classics. I didn't use the whitewalls as this seems to have a lot of fancy chrome anyway and I don't think a Chevy would likely have whitewalls back in the day. Comments welcome, thanks for looking.
Tom Geiger Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Very nice and it looks good in red. The '32 was my grandfather's first car. My great grandfather had a jewelry store in Jersey City, NJ and all three of his sons left school to apprentice in the trade, and worked there for their entire careers. When my grandfather was young, one day his father pointed out a car that was sitting at the curb in front of the store. It was a '32 Chevy Cabriolet like your model, only yellow with black fenders. He asked my grandfather if he liked the car, and he replied that he did. His father then said, "Good because it's yours!" He had bought him the car. It was a year old and he got a good deal on a repo. I have a picture of my grandparents leaving on their honeymoon behind the wheel of that car. I'll have to build one someday!
Eshaver Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I jus had a 1933 roadster that I finished for a customer in the shop last summer . You're model brings back fond memories !
Terry Jessee Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 That's a great look. If you look at old photographs, there weren't a lot of wide whitewalls. That's got a great, authentic feel. Terry
Harry P. Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 That's one good looking model! Very nice work.
DumpyDan Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Very nice, I just happened to be working on a 32 Chrysler. Funny must be something in the air.
jeffs396 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Looks GREAT Bruce! Can't wait to use mine to rework the Barnabas van back into a stock panel
ChrisR Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Very nice. One model missing from my collection athough I have two SD.
peekay Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) VERY nice! First one I've seen without the whitewalls - the model looks SO much better without them. Edited December 9, 2013 by peekay
