Re: What is the One V-8 if you only had one
DavidG
Your right, my pea brain didn't think Lincoln. The 1934 Lincoln Brunn Victoria that Wayne Carinni bought on "chasing Classic Cars" would replace my 33 Roadster especially when he got rid of the white wall tires and put the black top on it, he really made that car a "KILLER"!!!! |

'36 Roadster. Serious rubber rake with a chopped Carson-style removable top and a full race flathead under the hood. Dream car.

Ah yes, but a '34 is a V-12.

Re: What is the One V-8 if you only had one
Ya' Know, this sort of thing is just a fantasy. Ever since I was in high school in the late '50's, my dream car was a '36 3-window with a "full-race" Merc engine, '39 hydraulics, a '39 floor box, and 4.11 gears. About 20 years ago, I realized my dream. I drove the car for 4 years and sold it to somebody else who just had to have it (he later sold it too). My problems with the car? Too cramped inside, and the engine overpowered the drive-train (which I took some care to build). I'm probably the only guy ever to be happy to see my "dream car" go down the road. I think that the '51 club coupe that I have had for almost 30 years and is a completely civilized car may have had something to do with my decision.

Re: What is the One V-8 if you only had one
A 35 or 36 3-window coupe with a hopped-up flathead and overdrive transmission works for me.

Re: What is the One V-8 if you only had one
Right now I dream of a 32 roadster with a hemi. No fenders but the hood is on, but blistered for the motor to fit. Backed up with a 4 speed and I would be more than a happy man.

Re: What is the One V-8 if you only had one
My V-8 would easily be a 1933 3 window coupe. Black paint preferred.

Re: What is the One V-8 if you only had one
I loved the '40 FORD pickup I had from 1990 to 2009. But, now that I got the '36 Ford Cabriolet restored and running I love it more! Got it in '87 as a Basket case & got it on the road in 2011. I can't see me parting with it NMW!
