Default Pics of Kingray and the 32 Ford

My dad’s 32 Ford.  I’m following in his footsteps building a 78 Malibu right now.

He said the car was in pretty rough shape. I know that the motor had been replaced before Ron sold it. Unfortunately, I had a computer hacking attack and lost all my stored emails and addresses. So, I lost all his contact information. I was hoping to send him some information about the car in it's glory days.
Around 1966 I hung out with Buddy and Ron in Homewood, pick up my girlfriend in the 32 ford with Buddy from Homewood Flossemore H S
