Steve_Mack_CT Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 So what is backstory on the big D that sold for 1.066, experts can correct me, but isn't that light for that body style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, I think if you read the catalog description you’ll see that all the pieces are original but maybe not to that car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still sounds like a better deal than the guy who bought an engine for about the same money recently I guess. Car sure presents well, if one can do it what a bangin' tour car that would be!! 😊 Edited March 4, 2022 by Steve_Mack_CT (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 I agree with you. I love the Rollston body. it is old restoration that needs a bunch of love, but a very attractive car. I took a video of when they brought it out of a tent, which I’ll post when I get home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 This is our ride for the morning. The 1933 Stutz DV32 Waterhouse. The 1933 show car. Purchased new for the grandson of Brewster coach building and custom modified for him. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) nice stuff all around, I'll take the red BMW 328, what a ride!

Walt G Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Can someone explain - to go on the tour you had to apply a sticker to your car about the size of a garbage can lid? to show you were on the tour officially or ?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I noticed a certain black Stutz didn't have 'da sticka' which is why I asked the question . I would just be very apprehensive to have to apply any adhesive backed promotion sign to lacquer paint or any paint. If these are like the old bumper stickers that were given out for each Hershey show decades ago it may be a trend to leave the "lid label" on the side of the car as a status symbol that you wuz dere like a goodin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Nope.....our Stutz is aluminum.............they are static cling scratch your car special advertising.............not what we do. I like our cars to look the way they were when delivered new.....nothing more, nothing less. Walt.....our car is “ox blood maroon” a deep purple/brown tint. Original auto show color. 👍 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the colors that the cars are now painted/restored were never painted that when new, they are not flashy enough. The colors the cars ere painted when new, especially the custom bodied cars were chosen very wisely, with purpose. Either by the designer/coach builder or the owner ( who was usually conservative, consider the time period especially in the 1930-35 era) who realized people were out of work, on bread/food lines and didn't want to put it in the minions face that they were riding around in a car that cost what the person on the street seeing it had not made salary wise per year all total for two decades. I tend to look at things from a wide perspective - what was going on at the time that would affect the cars being made ? Popularity, fads, financial, even geographically and political. My non car state and local area historian mode makes that happen , I consider a lot of things besides all the period car related material I have here in my archives to refer to. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 If you don’t understand why your typical phantom II rolls Royce was $20,000 when you could buy a top-of-the-line Packard or Cadillac for $5000 look at the firewall on this car. Noticed that all the wiring runs in its own conduits. Was that done by LUCAS or because of LUCAS wiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Is there a design term for the buffed belt molding? It works well with aluminum bodies. Years ago I worked on a steel bodied Bugatti that had the belt mounding chrome plated then welded back to the body. The chrome needed to be redone, but the owner accepted the old finish. Wonder if it is still a Hanger Queen somewhere. Edited March 4, 2022 by 1937hd45 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Have to look for period reference but I believe in the era it was referred to as a polished belt line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
