Funny, if I had a 32 Ford, I would want it to be pretty much stock, save for maybe a safety update here and there (brakes).
 
I remember watching one of the old 'Topper' movies when I was a kid, and it had a 32 Ford convertible...just a used car even then...but there was something very attractive about it.

had a '32 Ford 2-door sedan back in the day. I guess that would've been this style. I remember him telling me a story about how he rolled it over once on a back road (well, back then I think most roads around here were "back roads"!) He was able to flip it back upright with a strong tree branch or board or something like that, let it sit for awhile so the fluids would settle, and then drove off with no problem.
 
At least, that's the way he said it happened. I guess they must not have been very heavy, if a single person could flip one.

Ooh, that one's a 'Victoria' a rare and sought after model.
 
A normal two-door sedan ('Tudor') would have been a Model A looking thing, Like this. Hard to find any of these cars that haven't been cut up.
 
I can't imagine them being very heavy. There were 4 cyl models (B) along with the V8.

This makes me kind of sad b/c I know there's no way we'll see a "Greatest '02 Civics of all Time" when i have grandkids.
 
The modern equal lacks depth and style opting instead for bling and boomin stereo systems.

Try on the left side of the engine over the water inlet. Engine and VIN are the same.
 
Is this a Model A or Model B or V8?
 
If a Model A, VIN should read 4,830,807 to 4, 849,340
 
If a Model B, AB 5,000,001 on up
 
If a V8 18-1 up to --2,031,126
 
Also try left front pillar for a #, also ahead of front axle, also on transmission housing.
