You may recognize this '32 from a previous feature we did on the man, the myth, the young legend, Greg Paboojian. We didn't shine much light on this pristine machine in the midst of that feature so we thought we'd take an in depth look at this beauty. Greg bought this car at a young age from a family in Clovis. In 1997 it was in a bad wreck on the way home from the Tulare car show. It was rebuilt in 2000 and Greg took this car to the extreme. One of my favorite features of this '32 is the motor and the past stories that come with it. Many men asked for a ride but few ever strapped in. Two that dared were late Dan Edwards and Ed Granata and they also screamed the loudest according to Greg. Mr. Paboojian does caution all rod enthusiast to keep a close eye on their women because supposedly this car is a magnet and the ladies are often asking for a ride. Enjoy the detailed specs and when you see this '32 at a show near you take a closer look at the details.
