Lou McCumber's '37 Tudor is as close to perfect
as a modern interpretation of an old sedan allows.
Gordon Gosch's '34 Tudor was chopped in the '50s,
then rodded again in the '70s. An all-Ford rod, this hammered hot
rod has housed a hot 289 since the '70s
The license plate is a dead giveaway, 3W1933 says
it all, for Rick & Diane Johnson's old-timey hiboy coupe. Apart
from the die straight body & the glossy black paint, that is.
Hiboy sedans keep growing in numbers, and Paul
McNeil's deuce uses bright colour & lakester style headers to make
it stand apart from the others.
Larry Molina's car is listed as a '37 coupe. It
is either radically customised, or a new interpretation of the staid
old '37 styling that we are familiar with. Contrast it with the
Tudor at the top of this page.
There are no repro '32 cabriolet bodies, so this
one, belonging to Ray & Susan Dorr of Castro Valley, must be the
ridgey didge genuine article.

Lou hails from Yuba City, CA, so he didn't have
far to go to get to the fairgrounds - about 45 miles.
These '33 Speedstars are a swoopy rendition of a
Ford that had fairly mundane features when new - JC Gillmore's
version uses paint & leather to accentuate the smooth lines.
Al & Mary Rosario's smooth deuce 3-window hiboy
uses an early style Chevy for power, & nicely matched steel wheels
to haul the rubber 'round.
This isn't a rest-rod, as the dropped headlight
bar & low stance indicate, but the largely stock bodied '28 Tudor is
both conservative & immaculate.
The '37 is on the market for nearly 90 large, but
with that you get a ZZ4 350 + 700r trans, Pagan Gold & Tangerine (yummm)
paint, and very classy leather trim with 'gator inserts.
If you are trying to sell your '33 3-window, it
pays to mention that it is all original steel, and by the way, Tony
Nancy did the black leather trim! The $75k coupe uses all Jag
suspension too.

Every view of the '37 shows the level of detail
that has gone into this Tudor. Outstanding.
Not to be confused with a Speedstar, this Speed
33 is produced by
American Speed Co; this one was built for Street Rodder
Magazine, for their 2008 road tour season.
That's a very dark blue on Tim & Rachelle
Bedford's '40 Deluxe coupe, and it goes nicely with the trad' wheels
& whitewalls.
Look closely at Walt Fernandez's off-white deuce
hiboy, and you'll notice the subtle pin striping. The polished
American's help make the hiboy a standout.
The panel painted valances and chromed running
boards are reflected in Rich Battany's delightful '28 roadster
pickup. The effect is reminiscent of '60s era panel paint jobs,
which is a good thing.
Here's a deal - a '32 cabriolet hiboy, with a
supercharged flattie, for just $50k! If that is hard to find, he'll
keep the blower, add a Weiand manifild, and knock $10 grand off the
price!
