Terms are "cash or good PA check, no out-of-state checks". I guess credit/debit cards are not accepted. You out-of-state guys better carry a lot of cash. 

 

You think that with all the cars and parts for sale, some tools would also be available.

1932 Ford 5-Window Roadster

thanks for posting the listing by the auction company

Please explain to me what this is. I have studied and written about coach work , styling etc for 50 years but never heard of a 5 window roadster. Does that mean : windshield, wind wings and rear window?

[Dave Mellor NJ]

Some people call any 32 hotrod a roadster regardless of the body style as we know it. Think of the Los Angeles roadster show

[Bloo]

I think that would get you just as many funny looks at a hot rod show as it would here.
