Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
Hi Everyone, Here are some photos that JM 35 Sedan took on the show field June 14, 2018. They are not my shots, JM shared them with me and I'm just posting them for him.

Special mention should be made on the Tractor. Tom McCarriston, the restorer/owner, is also a fabulous photographer who's work is in The V-8 Times. He has been taking this tractor to V-8 Meets for 25 years! It made it's debut at Dearborn in 1993, and it's still making the shows. Attaboy Tom!

We ended the evening touring the Rouge F-150 Assembly Plant. Limited photo ops, although I got some the next morning when I returned. Trying to keep these Concourse photos.

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
The unrestored/original cars stole the show!....Especially the '32 Three Window Coupe in the first group of pictures. The cars sporting blackwall tires, although in the minority, is refreshing - more period correct....

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
Jeff, thanks for posting my Dearborn GNM concourse photos. It would have taken me hours to download those from my camera, and then resize them for posting here. I have many more pictures taken at the meet and during our tours. Plus pics from Motor Muster, Crawford and Gilmore Museums, and the Foundation Museum.

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
Thank you for posting ALL the cars and trucks in the show. This gives a idea on all you to see what was there. The National Meet I always enjoy going to wherever it is. Next year it is in Auburn so I hope to be there with one of my Junkers if I can get it running.

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
Add my thanks to Very Tangled for sharing the great photos. Petehoovie with you 100% on black wall tires, why anyone thinks whitewall tires look good with wire wheels I'll never understand, totally kills the car IMO.

Here are two more pictures of the Barn Find 1932 Ford Deluxe Three Window Coupe. It was sure a show stopper. |

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
Mercman, it was nice meeting you and your wife at Dearborn.
That 32 3w was definitely a favorite at the '18 GNM. Other than making that car a mechanically safe driver, I would leave it just as found.

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
What an incredible car! Does anyone know how long ago and where it was discovered by the lucky person? I agree with John, make it safe and leave it be.

Love to see the inside of the 32. Hope someone knows the history of the car. What a wonderful find. What was the original color do you know? Who found the car?

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
Ken,
Each time I went by the car the hood was closed and the owner not present so I can't say for sure regarding the engine's vintage, but based on Trevor's photo, the circumstantial evidence (cavity on front of block and oil pan/dipstick) suggests that it is a '35 or '36 engine with a '32 fan. The car was 'found' a couple of years ago in a Detroit garage, as I recall. |

He was not around much cause he’s working, in addition, he & his wife were on Antiques Road Show filming Thursday morning. He drove the 32 in to the Edward Hotel for the meet, and drives it to work once a week or so. He was very complimentary of the GNM in Dearborn and how well organized the meet was. He was also tickled to hear of the interest in his ‘32 3 window! Bryan |

I took this photo of the two cars when we were finally able to open the garage door. Sorry - I do not know how to enlarge the photo. On the left side of the photo you can see the N.O.S. 3 window deck lid that was placed inverted on top of the 3 window in an attempt to keep rain water from the leaking roof off the car. |

tommymdot, Beautiful, simply beautiful. Great pics of the "as found" and with the previous owner, epic!
Adding: I think I spoke with you while you were changing a carb. I hope I expressed appropriate appreciation!

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
Tommy, thank you for following up with information and pictures of your '32 3w. That's an amazing find that most of us can only dream about doing. I hope to see that '32 again and meet you next year at the Central National Meet in Auburn, IN. Should be a great show field and celebration for the completion of the addition to Foundation Museum.

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
You’ve done a great job with your 32 3W Tom! I told you these guys were Gaga over your car. I’m glad you were able to show it this year. As John suggested, I hope you can drive or bring it along next year to Auburn Meet. There’s quite a few others driving their 32s to these meets.

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
I could not have done it without my friends. It took three days for us to get the roadster out of the way, get the 3 window down, and clear a path to the street. Good friends are the best part of this hobby! To answer some of the other questions, The engine in the car was not a '32 engine and it was stuck. I rebuilt an LB block and did not paint it so it would match the rest of the car. The gears in the transmission were broken, so I transferred the gear set from a good transmission to the original 3 window case so all the numbers would still match. I completely rewired the car, installed a stainless exhaust, and rebuilt the brakes. I slit the old exhaust pipe and wrapped it around the new stainless pipe so the exhaust system looks old and crusty. I also left some of the old wires hanging to make it appear that the old wires were still in use. I could not get any coil to run longer than 10 miles, so I always carried a couple of spares to get me home. Thankfully, I finally sent two coils to Skip in Florida and I can run forever now!
The last photo shows the car at the Old Car Festival at Green Field Village in Dearborn. I had just gotten the car running and drove it there on the same tires that were on it in 1957 with no problems. It took two coils to get me there, and two coils to get home. We had a great time! Thanks for your interest. I have debated whether or not to restore this car - I guess I'll leave it as it is. |

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
It would be a sin to restore that car....Are those the original 18 inch wheels?

Re: Dearborn 2018 Concourse Photos
I really like reading the story you have wrote about the 32. They are only original once. Like a virgen. My 32 is a mixture of 32, 3 window parts. Keep the stories and pictures coming.
