Sad ending for a 1933 Ford Sedan
 

You have to watch this old movie, "Too fast to live, too young to die". Some great old Fords in this Youtube. What a waste of a nice 1933 Fordor Sedan.

True, but when that movie was made the used car lots were full of them.

Don't have to watch a movie to see old cars destroyed. I personally participated in destroying many, One in particular comes to mind, a 1941 Lincoln continental that was purchased for $15.

Any dirt track almost any weekend!

That's a great little video mashup and a perfect example of how much power these old flathead V8s have!

The interior shots were in what looks to be a '37 Ford or at least a car with a '37 Ford instrument panel, in contrast to the exterior footage.

If you thinks that's bad, you don't even want to see what Fields does to a '32 Ford in "If I had a Million"!

It's amazing to see the stunts performed in the early days of film. Some great work there. Also, the cutie at the closing scene has quite the face. What a doll!

Those old WC Fields and Chaplin films will make your sides hurt for days:).

My first year of driving Modified Hardtops as they were called at the time in Michigan.
The Photos were taken the summer of 1955 at the Motor City Speedway in Detroit. Friday night and Saturday morning.

(I didn't get a scratch.) The Ford Coupe did't fair as well!

I did take out most of a long Coca-Cola sign on the back stretch!

Looking good! None of my cars lasted long "without a scratch", they really took a beating. It took most of the week to get things straighten out, cleaned up and back together for the next weekend! One of mine airborne.

Remember as we get older we must remember to enjoy our cars, never let your car out live you...in the end we should accumulate great memories of our antique cars and driving them. If they happen to outlive us then we will pass them on but we shouldn't strive for that.. because probably no one out there will appreciate them as much as we do.

The early Ford V8's were also popular as Stock Cars in Australia, as these pictures of a 1933 Sedan, 1935 Five Window Coupe and 1937 Club Coupe show. I don't know how many races they would survive for, before the owners went looking for a replacement. Unfortunately, a lot of old Ford V8's met their fate on these dirt tracks around the world, but it was at a time when they were practically worthless and no one seemed to be concerned or care. Watching these old Fords back then was exciting, but today, we cringe at the thought!

My current 33 and 34 5w coupes are ex-dirt track cars. Takes a lot of work to repair the race car years damage, but it is also a lot of fun bringing them back from the grave! Learn a lot about the bodies when you have to rework about everything. There is a collage near me that teaches auto restoration and I get to buy the ones that they determine are beyond saving.

W.C. Fields and one of the 1933 Fords used in the 1941 Universal Picture "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break".

This picture is one of the last scenes in the movie "Too fast to live, too young to die" that I posted at the start of this Thread. Are you sure that it was in "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break"? Regards Mercman <><
