Default 31 Roadster ready for summer

I've been taking care of this Roadster for almost a year now for a friend. This weekend I gave it a good shake down. Still have a few items to work on, mirror clock and polish out a original gas cap, arm covers for the doors and correct screws to attach the wiper motor...you know little stuff.

Nice roadster and I love the picture with the store in the background. The picture could have been taken in the 30's.

Roadsters and Summer in SoCal has always meant the LA Roadster Show. Yeah mostly hot rods but enough stock As and other old tin to keep it interesting.
Fathers Day weekend at LA Fairplex - Roadsters and driver get in free.

Wick, looking good!!

'30-'31 Roadsters Dlx. like your friend's, AND Standards will always be appealing!!

Nice cars!

A 1932 Ford V8 Roadster is considered one of the most desirable of antique Fords, and you know where THAT design carried over from

Very nice car. The under carriage looks super clean. Perfect for summer cruising.

I've been driving the car daily this past week and it's been great.
Yesterday I brought the 40 out for it's turn on the roads.

Hey Wick,
I have one too. Took her out on Saturday for the first time since last August. She needed the exercise!
