My Mantra.... or the The Coupe that Haunts me.....The Busby Coupe.

I have seen a lot of hotrods. Many grab me in a varied amounts of reasons. And I love each and every one of them for that reason.As far as 32 coupes go...I am working on my own  project right now.... and this car.. the Busby coupe speaks the loudest. Yes, It may not every "period perfect part"..but that is un-important.... Why?...... because the whole package makes the difference. And there lies the secret.
A lot of "Historical" Hotrods are nothing more than over restored model kits.... never to be used for there intention..... drive 'em.
I plan to use this car as my Mantra.. my model. It's just so damn spot on.

Yeah, what improvement could you possibly ask for? Its definately the total package. All parts almost look stock when brought together so perfectly. Beautiful car.

I've always loved that coupe.

Cars like this one haunt my dreams and are why thoughts of selling mine float through my mind. I know no matter how hard I try, I will never have one like it. And once exposed to such a work of automotive art, it would be hard to accept any thing less. So you, or I at least have to often wonder why bother?

In my humble opinion, the Busby coupe sets the bar for hot rods. I absolutely love the presence it has.

Good luck on your build, can't wait to see what you come up with.
