Craig Smith’s Roadsters for Sale
Thursday, November 1st, 2007As many of you already know, fellow Hot Rodder Craig Smith died tragically this past July, in Phoenix, AZ. Craig was a helicopter pilot for the Phoenix TV Station ABC15. He was involved in an accident that took four lives, when 2 news helicopters collided covering the same police chase. Craig was an avid hot rodder, a Goodguys member, and a H.A.M.B. member. On the weekends, you could catch him proudly displaying his roadster at Phoenix area car shows.
I have been contacted by his brother, Bryan Smith, and he is looking to sell Craig’s Roadsters for his parents. The first one is a purple ‘32 with a flathead. Bryan doesn’t have a spec sheet for this car, but it did grace the cover of Rod & Custom in February of 2007. Goodguys Gazette Editor Jim Aust decribed it as “flawless and timeless.” If you would like to know the specifics, bust out your copy of R&C, I know you still have it. I also included pictures below.
The next roadster is Brookville bodied, and has a 327 Chevy Small Block. From what I can tell by the pictures and the information from Bryan, the car is 90% complete. It needs carpet, and door panels. It is painted ‘58 Olds Sea Foam Green, with an original ‘32 firewall and a ‘32 chassis. I have a little more information on this one. If you are interested in owning a new roadster, and would like to help out the family of a lost Hot Rodder, email or call me for more information. I can get you in contact with Bryan Smith
