His '32 ford was coated in satin black, and highlighted with an Apple Green grille and wires. The 283 and four-speed might be fun too!  The swap meet was alive and...  The swap meet was alive and well in Columbus, and it seemed there were a fair amount of vintage trucks for sale.

Lots to take in on Larry Henderson's Deuce roadster-least of which are the 16- and 18-inch colorcoded wires. Larry's roadster won a Trendsetter's Builder's Choice award at the show.
