barryfromvictoria ... "Theodore Thertito" is just a fictitious name that the authors of the "DEUCE HEAVEN" article (Gary "Goodguy" Meadors & "Deuce Bruce" Olson) used to protect Mr. Secrest's true identity.

Re: DEUCE HEAVEN: The Secrest Collection ... PICS from 1976
That is pretty amazing!
The Alexander Woodie collection... Was that in California, or am I thinking of someone else?

Chad ... not to drift too far off topic ... but yes, The Nick Alexander Woodie Collection was/is stored in a Huntington Park (SoCal) warehouse ... at one time, Nick had at least one of every Ford wood-bodied station wagon made from 1932 to 1957 ... in August of 2009, 51 of his Ford & Mercury Woodies were sold at the RM Auctions event in Monterey (with over $7 million in total sales).

sounds like the "junction city kansas vintage tin national park story" to hype up the readers, but they told the readers where the real park was in thle next issue

Re: DEUCE HEAVEN: The Secrest Collection ... PICS from 1976
V8 Affair...are you the writer/compiler of that book??
I have it, of course, and it is a special memory for me. When it came out--maybe '72?--I was a starving student, and that book became my entire Christmas list. Getting it was a major event. That kind of information was hard to get in those days! Here's a link on Vince's site to a different sort of collection dispersal: Auction. |

Those pictures are great. It would have been great to see them as they were. A 32 Ford is one of my favorite along with a 49 mercury and 40 Ford.To have one of each I would think I was in heaven.

Re: DEUCE HEAVEN: The Secrest Collection ... PICS from 1976
Sort of reminds me of Dave Rehor's shop with all of the restored parts hanging from the ceiling, and cars on the floor being assembled. So clean you could eat off of the floor.

I just noticed your post ... this is exactly the kind of info I was hoping for with this thread! I assume your '32 Cabriolet was the restoration that Mr. Secrest recently acquired (and "Big Virg" & "Mr. Brown" were restoring) in August of 1976? Please post some pics of your '32 Cabriolet.

Nope ... I'm neither the author (Ray Miller) nor the photographer (Glenn Embree) of "The V8 Affair". As a teenager in the 1970s, "The V8 Affair" was one of my favorite reads ... it (as well as a couple of Lorin Sorensen books) was really the impetus behind my love of Early Ford V8 cars & trucks ... and probably the reason I'm a member of this forum ... hence my strange Ford Barn user name. NOTE: I'm actually one of your friends over on the H.A.M.B. ... I helped you pick out the digital camera that a bunch of us chipped in to purchase for you. |

Re: DEUCE HEAVEN: The Secrest Collection ... PICS from 1976
...brought back a lot of memories, I was there in about '75, pretty amazing. Since, at the time, I did'nt care about 32s, I sold Bill all the 32 NOS stuff I could find. I'm into 32s now and sure wish I had some of that stuff back. Bill had a nice 34 roadster I wanted but I did'nt have the $3500 he wanted.....

Re: DEUCE HEAVEN: The Secrest Collection ... PICS from 1976
V/8 I still have the 32 cabriolet and doubt it has 10 miles on it. It has been kept in an air conditioned building and still looks like a fresh restoration. There is a picture on my web site www.fordcollector.com I talked to Bill about buying the last car he had, it was a 34 roadster pick up and fooled around a couple days and he sold it to someone in Georgia. G.M.
