This is what I hope to make my '32 look like, except in black primer, with a white frame & firewall, and a copper-colored
block.

Now THAT'S a Hot Rod! (Well, except for the Chevy engine...needs a flathead instead!!!) |
The picture above was taken by Andy Southard, Jr., in 1965.
Andy is author of "Hot Rods of the 1950's".
You NEED to get this book, it's excellent! Mr. Southard also has put out a few more top-quality books, all with
beautiful vintage photos of hot rods & Kustoms!
Let me know if you need more info.
Anyway, the roadster was owned by Charles Miller, of Norwalk, Ca. It's a '23 T, named "Pointless", with a '60
Buick engine & 3-speed Trans.
I'd like to hear from someone who knows anything about the ignition system on this car. As you can see, there is NO distributor,
and only a single plug wire running from a BIG coil down each side of the engine! How's this thing work?!?
