Needs A Little Work

If this was ever a getaway vehicle, it didn't quite make it. Judging from the bullet holes someone doesn't like it, mad at the garage owner for not fixing it or just likes target practice. It is going to take a lot of bondo to restore any semblance of beauty to this "not so hot" rod. I thought this might work for Wacky Wednesday.

So, Tick, you found my little deuce coupe! Boy did she and I have some great times. She was "the fastest set of wheels in town" and she could "walk a Thunderbird like she's standing still!"

I dunno Tick, tires look great, though a little slick. Maybe with some putty here and there, some paint, a motor, we could get this classic '32 Ford back on the road to the burger place again!

From the era of poodle skirts, slick back hair, and drive-in movies, you have given us a flash back to American Graffiti and the good times of fountain sodas and blood drained arms around pretty shoulders.

Definitely a good one for WW Tick - I bet it was a beauty at some point in time.

Was this a Bonny and Clyde coup do you think? That might count for the bullet holes. Clever find and capture.

What is a posh car like you doing in a place like this? You must be in a museum ! It takes a lot of work to do such styling on a new car.

Good one, Cap'n...Thanks for the memories...Faved

Perfect image for WW Tick!!! "Needs a little work you say" ??? That will work as long as "little" is in HUGE LETTERS:) I think the radiator is what makes this coupe so "cool" haha:):) Good find buddy!!

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), most important is that the tires are in a good condition (😜).
Must be fun to make a ride in this sophisticated car with natural air conditioning.
Perfect one for Wacky Wednesday (W²)!
Thanks for the smile, 👍 !

I'll bet that was one cool car in its day Tick - it's sad to see it in that deteriorated state - Great capture and narrative
