Vehicle Description
It's a fact: it is absolutely impossible to build an ugly '34 Ford.
This fantastic 4-door sedan is ample proof, with a perfect hot-rod
stance, the practicality of four doors, and all the creature
comforts you'd expect of a high-quality build.
First off, this car is 100% steel, including the fenders, which
certainly explains why it looks so good. Even without a chopped
top, the sedan body style looks sleek, and with lots of window area
you know it was made to drive. For the most part, it looks very
stock, from the roof with the vinyl insert to the twin horns up
front and even the cowl lights perched ahead of the front doors.
They obviously didn't want to mess with a good thing. With a chrome
grille shell and shiny bumpers, there's no mistaking this as
anything but a '34 Ford, and the oversized headlights look
fantastic nestled between that grille and the swooping fenders. The
paint is a handsome metallic green done in two-stage urethane, but
with no graphics, no flames, nothing that detracts from the classic
shape. Kudos to the builders for getting this one exactly right.
There's even a neatly installed trunk out back that makes this rod
idea for long-distance cruising.
Suicide-style doors were factory-issue on sedans in 1934, so
stepping inside is easy. Once you're in there, you'll find lovely
tan leather buckets that are as luxurious as anything you'll buy
today. Those two buckets up front fit neatly in the vintage sedan,
and the full-sized rear bench is comfortable for full-sized adults.
The original dash has been beautifully re-created with billet
inserts for the custom Omega gauges and glove box, and a custom
panel in the center seamlessly integrates the A/C vents and
switches. Overhead, there's a beautifully tailored headliner with
an integrated AM/FM/CD stereo, and you'll note that even rear seat
passengers get their own A/C vents. Nice! All these upgrades make
this a no-compromises rod that can be driven cross-country without
a second thought. Get in, sit back, and enjoy the ride.
With the hood closed, there's no way to know what lives within, and
that's part of this car's magic. The truth is, there's a modern LS1
in there, a smooth, torquey powerplant that makes this big sedan
move like it weighs 100 pounds less than it does. Factory fuel
injection lives under a custom-made engine cover that's been
painted to match the bodywork and a serpentine belt drive system
for the accessories ensures reliability. The LS1 isn't showy, but
they did color-match a few components and chromed the rest, so it
is worthwhile to open the hood and show it off now and then. A
4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission is easily stout enough to
handle the engine's output, as is the Ford 9-inch suspended on a
set of traditional leaf springs. To get that low profile, they
installed a Mustang II front suspension, which also includes
rack-and-pinion steering. While they were at it, they also added
4-wheel disc brakes and a reasonably quiet exhaust system that has
a nice burble but never gets annoying on the highway. Staggered
Torque Thrust wheels look right with lots of rubber wrapped around
them, 195/60/15s up front and 235/60/15s in back.
With just a handful of miles since the build was completed, you
know this Ford is right. Beautifully built and totally reliable,
this is what every hot rod aspires to be. Call today!
