George Smolinski Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Like the body style. Not so sure about the paint scheme. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I wonder how many models in this period were named for people? Obviously there was the Marmon Roosevelt. Any others? (not counting company founders like Dodge or Buick) Also marques: Lincoln and Rickenbacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamInNH Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Kinda neat. With different wheels would look like a 50’s hot rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Ash Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The engine is not a 6.0 liter one. Rocknes were 6 cylinder, either 3-1/8 or 3-1/4 bore by 4-1/8 stroke, 3.3 liter max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Car sure looks light in the front. I about choked when I read it had a 6L engine. Very nice looking car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 That is neat. I really like the fenders. Typically I avoid shiny cars that are otherwise original, but this is less than Model A coupe money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukejunkie1015 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 No bumpers or brackets? Maybe at the platers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 It sits like a gasser. A little out of scale in body to fender size. Early Hudson’s had the same issues. It seems you have to jump up in wheel base to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Couldn’t figure out why this car didn’t look as appealing as it should? One too many colors. Leave off the white or ( cream? ) and it should tame it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiclines Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) According to one of the 1932 brochures... The white or cream may be appropriate... (except for the wheels) however the roof and fenders should be a dark shade of a color while the body should be a light shade of the same color (green in the brochure). The choice of dark maroon and black is the mis-match, they are not light and dark shades of the same color. Wheels should be light shade of the chosen color.

Xander Wildeisen Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Wow, what a difference in that picture. Compared to pictures of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that's not a picture, it's an artist's misconception, they were paid to illustrate cars as long and low!! I agree the paint scheme hurts this car, but at some point an owner picked it out and loved it....

It's funny isn't it that if that's what they thought people wanted then why didn't they just build them that way and leave the painter out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 And even funnier, that is what the custom builders do to them. I think that is why low windshield frames on early cars are so popular. That is a good question, who had the lowest roof line on an early production car?

That's an easy one if you expand you search beyond the USA, and a loose interpretation of a "production" car! Bucciali wins hands down... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
