[David J]

Found this and I don't recall ever seeing this pic B4 . Hey TonyM maybe it is from a movie ? If yes I want to find a copy !!! Looks a bit dolled up and what color is that ??

if memory serves, that car was crashed into a tree [in the movie]. the setting was either a golf course or a horse racing track [it`s been a long time since i`ve seen the movie].

'dolled' up ...that's good one, as she sure dolls up that car ! Even if you were looking at and indicating the beautiful 6" wide whitewalls !!

I guess the ford was for fun and this car was for business

Anyone know the name of the movie ?

Like to get it as I have 1936's " Give me a sailor " with Bob Hope and his 33 trunk type roadster gets blown up in the movie .

Joan was DEFINATELY part of the " Dolled up " bit .

Here is the one from Give Me a Sailor.

I'll hunt up the movie title for you David.

Joan had this V-16 Cadillac before she bought the 1933 V-16 Town Car.

I have seen this photo before. I thought that it was DAVID J, in his best "Saturday Night Stepping Out" outfit.

This is Joan's 34 Ford Roadster, while the Roadster that is shown damaged is a 1933 Ford. What are the wheels on this 34, as they seem to have more "spokes" than the Jumbo wheels?

I believe they are by Budd. I have a set that came off a 34 and they are marked Budd 16x5. I plan to put them on the 34. Need to come up with
substitute hubcaps .

I can't see how the sportlight is fastened to the W/S post. Does anyone have a photo of a mounting bracket for the '33-34 open cars ?

Here is Steves photo of the 34 Ford Roadster showing more of the front.

I think that spotlight is attached to the cowl.

Twin Sportlights, at that !
