Jeff,

Gene is the fifth owner of that standard V8 Tudor sedan. I purchased it from the original owner who traded in a Model A on it back in '32. I reluctantly let it go to Mr. Secrest in Oklahoma and he gave a very good home. After his death, it went to a collector further west who was less respectful of its condition and it subsequently ended up with Gene. It's now missing its original factory fabric and stainless steel spare tire cover and the engine compartment is a mess compared to the way the original owner maintained the car. It was put up on blocks in the fall and put back in use each spring so it never experienced winter weather, at least with its first three owners. When the original owner washed the car, he did the undersides of the fenders, running boards, and hood. I have never seen another '32 as pristine as this car when the owner decided to sell it in the late '60s due to declining health.
