Especially when your trying to sell....but.<br /> <br />These bodies were only made in one batch in '31 by Holden Australia. Released in '31 and offered again in '32. The 1932 model was on a '32 chassis with a '32 front fitted, but had the '31 fenders as they fit the body made in '31. This example above has a '32 firewall, the originals had a '31 firewall. They were a one piece unit from here back.<br /><br />Dude says.."This factory design pattern was thought to have been destroyed 85 years ago. Rather, it was hung in a barn in Ohio as ‘barn art’ until my purchase"... Dude continues..."The wooden section was left untouched. This car is a remarkable piece of automotive history, and until recently no one knew it existed." ...There is so much wrong with this.... Dude should be ashamed.<br /><br />This same car was photographed at the Hershey swap in '73. The timber on the rear looking 'clean' and smoothed over. <br /><br />Here's two pics of the Chev nobody knew existed.<br />http://vcca.org/wow/2015/woodenspeedster-Hershey1973-1.jpg<br />http://vcca.org/wow/2015/woodenspeedster-Hershey1973-2.jpg<br /><br />Burkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384997392394742133noreply@blogger.com
