Brought the 34 Coupe Home.
I brought home the 34 5 window coupe yesterday. The owners wife was a little sad to see it go but happy it's going to good home. They had owned it since 1958.
Here it is loaded on the trailer getting ready to go.
Here it is arriving at my place and in the shop.
Some other pics. I can't wait to get it going! First thing I'll do is give Mrs. H a ride.

I'm green with envy. It looks even better in the sunlight than in the earlier pictures you posted a while back. That car is NICE, and it certainly has a history to it which makes it even cooler.
Have fun and keep us posted as you bring her back to life.

I agree with Don - great looking car! You are a lucky guy!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Got another project Friday. I don't think this one will buff out as well!
Traded my 38 Chevy Cab, grille and front fenders for this 29/30 Model A. Cowl is 30/31 and rear is 29. The 29 cowl was not is very useable condition. The top was long gone so now it's a Roadster. The A frame and front axle/bones I had. I'll use one of my Mercury Fatheads in this one.

Ok, now we officially really hate you.
Holy cow is that thing cleaning up great or what? Just an unbelievable find, especially that it is an old hot rod. It's in the right hands too, looks like you will do the old gal right. She deserves all the best.

Sorry I forgot to ask, are you going to run with the bumpers on the '34 as they look in really good condition in some of the photos.????

Yes, he had a brand new set of repro bumpers with brackets and everything. I found one set of original bumper guards but will not use them as they won't match the condition of the new bumpers.

I'll bet you just sit in the garage sometimes, staring at this car and pinching yourself to see if it is really yours. I would be beside myself if that were mine. You are so very lucky to have scored such a great car in the shape it is in. Wow. I can't get enough of looking at your pictures.
