Vehicle Description
1934 Ford Five Window Coupe
In the early days of hot rodding, the 1934 Ford quickly became the
platform of choice for many speed record attempts. Inexpensive and
plentiful, it also possessed a frame with high torsional rigidity
that could withstand the ever-increasing output of the flathead,
and overhead valve V-8 engines that were developed in the early
1950's
This 1934 Five window coupe, chassis number 1869152, personifies
California style hot rodding in the 1950's. Coupling an original
steel body, with a Flathead V8 engine, a tri-power carb
configuration, and 3 speed manual transmission, the owner can
confidently ease up to a stoplight, give a nod to the potential
victim in the lane next to him, and confidently watch him disappear
in his rear-view mirror after the light turns green.
Exterior
An absolutely perfect finished steel body, covered in a background
field of So-Cal Twilight Blue and orange to yellow faded flame from
the hood, past suicide doors, to rear the panel. Faded flames are
also emblazoned on the front fenders and burn back to the running
boards. Orange pinstripe flourishes surround key chrome components
and create highlights in the deep blue adornments to highlight and
emulate shape. Wide orange steel wheels are topped with chrome
hubcaps, and trim rings. A roll down rear window is fully
operational and will allow you to communicate with your rumble seat
passengers and keep them informed of your current speed. Teardrop
stoplights cascade near the bottom of the curvaceous rear
fenders.
Interior
A handsome blue tweed cloth in a surrounding field of deep blue
vinyl cover the bench seat inside, as well as the pop-up rumble
seat in back, the actuation for which is in the passenger side rear
interior wall.
A banjo style steering wheel allows the driver to monitor restored
original gauges mounted in dark blue metallic on the dash. Grey
carpeting compliments the passenger compartment and is in excellent
condition. Door panels are tweed within dark blue vinyl, and a grey
carpet base. A floor shifter with a retro Ford V8 logo knob reaches
comfortably up to driver height. All chrome handles knobs and
accents are in mint condition.
Drivetrain
A 221ci Flathead V8 engine topped with Edelbrock cylinder heads and
3 two-barrel Stromberg carburetors power the car. The exhaust is
evacuated quickly from tubular headers hooked to a full length
stainless steel exhaust system. A 3-speed manual transmission,
links to an original 1934 Banjo rear axle to power the rear wheels.
A Super Bell 4" dropped I-beam front axle provides a smooth and
stable ride, as well as efficient turning. Brakes are disc in the
front and drum in the rear bringing the car quickly to a stop.
This 1934 steel body 5 window custom coupe is a show winning
quality build that maintains the original 1950's California hot
rodding themes, adds a touch of tasteful luxury, and is peppered
with nostalgic motif, and true to period lines. All surfaces
outside and in, on top and below, have been meticulously attended
to. An excellent example of Southern California racers whose quest
for speed accelerated an industry with their developments, and
inspired generations.
