This is a drop-dead gorgeous true California-from-new 1934 Ford
five window coupe with all original Henry Ford steel body panels.
This is a seriously competitive resto-rod that was built by a
client of ours that has built each of his cars to perfection- for
touring and concours quality show potential. This no expense spared
restoration and impeccable build quality makes this a no-excuses
purchase. This has it all. This all Henry Ford steel body rests on
a new TCI chassis with the straight axle front end and fastidiously
engineered and precise rack and pinion steering. The engine is a
completely rebuilt 1965 Chevrolet 327 cu. In. 300 hp V-8 with a 350
Turbo Hydromatic transmission with the final drive completed
through a 9 inch rear end. The restoration is detailed with photos,
showing pride of craftsmanship. This was built for long cruises
with the upmost in comfort in mind. The interior is finished in
breathtaking Le Barron & Bonny "correct 34" upholstery. The
craftsmanship far exceeds that of the original Michigan production.
It has beautifully engineered air conditioning and heating systems
that use some of the original dash components to operate. We
encourage you to look closely at the photos to understand the
fantastic build quality of this Coupe. The wood grained dash is
spectacular with Stewart Warner "wings" gauges! The livery is
presented in single stage burgundy using PPG paint. The 15-inch
Kelsey Hays style wheels are powder-coated in a beautifully
contrasted cream. The rear mounted spare was a custom adaptation
that we think looks spectacular. Norm Petrucci, our long-time
client and the owner-builder of this Coupe, first bought this as an
all-original, rust free California "black plate" car about 25 years
ago. He bought the car in Corona, California still presented with
the original flat-head V-8. The original car was in impressive
condition with an incredibly nice body. Norm had retained us to
sell the car about six years ago. Norm has since passed. The
existing owner is now having health challenges and has delivered
the car to us to sell. In his words, "this is the best car that
I've bought", and he has quite a nice collection of cars. It is
rare to find an all Henry Ford steel 1934 five window coupe. Even
rarer is to find one that was meticulously engineered to be a
fantastic touring car as well as benefited from concours quality
finishes in every regard. If you are seriously looking for a coupe,
this is the one to buy. For more details email us at

It is available for inspection in our Phoenix, AZ showroom.
