Steve Braverman Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Nice colors. The whitewalls ruin it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrmyers35 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 I don't know the owner - hoping that the owner might respond or someone might know the car & the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest richentee Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 When and where was the photo taken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odyssey Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Bob Kern bought it (from Arnie?) and harvested parts for his 1931, also from Arnie. Bob then decided to restore the 1932 and subsequently sold it. Photo was taken during Bob's ownership, I think.Bill - I am trying to reach Bob's restorer re colors used- no luck so fartom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrmyers35 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 When and where was the photo taken?I found the picture on the web - it was identified as Conceptcarz.com.That is really all I know about the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.webb Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Changing the subject slightly.... Is this the '32 that was in "The Cider House Rules"? I think that was filmed in New England around 1998, which would make sense if Arnie owned it at that time, but not if Bob owned it by then. I've always wondered who owned that car and how they got it in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Braverman Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) I believe Arnie's car is a '31 with side mounts. Edited July 2, 2014 by Steve Braverman (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.webb Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I agree that the car Arnie always brings to the Trek is the '31 pictured. However, Tom indicated that Arnie might have owned the '32 in unrestored condition before selling it to Bob. The car in the movie looked a little worn, but similar to the '32 that started the thread, so I was wondering if it is the one. It would make sense if Arnie had it in running but unrestored condition before selling it to Bob, who restored it. I'll ask Arnie or Sue at the Trek and report back. Probably a wild goose chase!

odyssey Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I reached Eric, Bob Kern's restorer and Eric said he knew nothing of this car. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrmyers35 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Wow! What a mystery!I guess I'll just pick some colors & go with it . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrmyers35 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Based on color chips e-mailed to me by Paul Fitz I've concluded that the colors on the car are Franklin Spring - 1931 colors.The main body appears to be Woodbark Buff; Fenders & top appears to be Neenah Gray and the darker color around the windows appears to be Clairvorne Beige.My body shop owner is trying to get examples from Jim Wells at TCGlobal - jimwells@tcpglobal.com.
