All I noticed is that the Florida tag should be removed and put where the 'My Toy' tag is located.

Would like to see some pics of the rear also.

I'd like to see some pics of the engine. Didn't the 1932's have a six-banger? The ad says 4-cylinder.

RG, is this a quiz?

No quiz Ken. Wish it was in my garage too.
...But what bugs me is that this seller also has that 29 Imperial Landau that has been up for sale a few times.
With this car's low milage, I would like to see the engine and frame. It looks as if the upholstery has been replaced with only 23K miles???

The top and interior upholstery appear to have been replaced at one time. The rumble seat material looks like naughyde. The car appears to have been repainted and there is no pinstripping visible. The hub caps look new as do the hub cap protectors. The sidemount mirrors are reproduction aftermarket items.

RG,

Concerning the upholstery, I'd think it possible that "age" would be as much a consideration as "mileage." At 70-plus years of age, seems like the upholstery may have needed replacement along the way. Who knows.....

Bill.

Who knows.....for sure. 16-5k and still going.
We've seen other cars with more miles and less has been done to it. Maybe that's also bugging me.
Still, I'd love to have it just the way it is, if it's for real.

Bidding is now up to $21,100 and the reserve is set $44,900. That's a bit high considering all of the work that needs to be done on the roadster.

Dog;
Do you mean the going bid or the reserve?

Can you imagine parting with $21,100 and not knowing what the engine or chassis looks like!

JunkYardDogJunkYardDog,

Thanks for the info on the reserve. I was wondering what it was, maybe around 35K or there
about. But -$44.900-?!?!?! Give me a break....

My Dad all ways liked the '32 roadster. He had a
friend back in the mid 1930's. Who had one painted bright yellow with chrome plated wire wheels! I bet that was one classy look'n ride....

Actually........to get the car you would have to part with $44,900 and that's not knowing what the engine or drive train looks like.

Sounds like Patricia and Susie don't know much about the car either..........except to ask big bucks for it. I wonder how often they change the cardboard under the car!!!!

Too bad these gals are holding out to get those crazy reserves.
You would think that if they want the bigs bucks they ought to do a little home work first.
I guess the eBay broker dosen't know how to get the hood open to count the spark plugs!
