This is a 1:43 scale '32 Ford made by Road Champs that I got loose and for almost nothing. I really liked the car, but just couldn't quite handle it's stock and undetailed appearance. Quite a while back, I did a little quick paint detailing inside and out, and swapped out the cheap rims and tires with some Muscle Machine wheels to give it a more roddish look. The rumble seat is the only opening feature on this car.

Nice Mike. That's one of those cars I kick myself for not buying when they were available. At the time they were out, I wasn't focusing on '32 Fords. I passed up a couple of those, even walked around the store with them in my hand. I wish like heck now I hadn't put them back.:cry:

I know exactly what you mean Zeb! I've kicked myself so many times that my buns still feel bruised!:D

Heads UP! If you have a KB Toy store in your area, they used to have a two car pack with a gray w/ Blue flamed '32 and a police car , both 1:43 scale. The display box is about 10 inches or so long x about 2 inches high x about 3 or so inches wide, and I almost missed it while looking around. I bought one set for the '32, and gave the police car to my nephew. Anyways, they still may have some of those 2 packs there at KBs. You might also be able to find these on E-bay really cheap.
