Vehicle Description
1934 Ford Coupe
In 1891, Henry Ford joined Edison Illuminating Company and got
promoted as a Chief Engineer in 1893. At this time, he had enough
money and time to pursue his curiosity and talent and started
working on gasoline engines. His dream of building a gasoline
engine became a reality by the end of 1893, fifteen years after he
built his first steam engine. In 1896 he completed his work on his
first horseless carriage, called the "Quadricycle". He sold this
vehicle to support the development of his second vehicle. He was
inspired by Edison to build cars. In 1896, Ford had a meeting with
Thomas Edison, where Edison approved of his automobile
experimentation. And the rest as they say is history.
For consignment a fiberglass version of a hot rodded 1934 Ford
coupe. No rust to deal with, all smooth surfaces, and well minded
gaps. A custom interior with modern conveniences, and a snappy
engine under the hood will provide years of carefree enjoyment in a
car that is nearly 85 years old, or at least appears it in
spirit.
Exterior
Fine crafted beautifully molded fiberglass curved lines are
presented throughout this car. A simple trim spear runs the mid
section and dies gracefully in a curve to match the rear of the
car. This 3-window coupe has been chopped a bit and has a custom
cowl engine cover with some viewing openings also for cooling the
hot engine under the cowl. The "shield" style grille with vertical
ribs curves gracefully downward where it joins the front fenders
which flutter like a butterfly's wings outward then upward to frame
the front wheels and tires. These join with running boards on
either side and then into the rear fenders which go with the flow
of the trunk and back of this rodder. Nicely chromed bumpers in
front and back and all else shaved from this car gives it a
beautiful clean overall line. Chromed Weld wheels are in all 4
corners all wrapped with Goodrich Radial T/A's.
Interior
A swing of the suicide doors and we see just great two tone gray
speckled tweed broadcloth covering the panels. This continues to
the interior buckets with dark gray inserts and lighter outside
bolsters and surrounds as well as built in headrests. The remainder
of the vertical interior panels are also covered in this speckled
tweed, giving the interior a very sophisticated look. Between the
chairs is a custom made console which houses the gearshift lever,
centralized tachometer and wiper buttons. Above is the purple
painted dash which has within it a central speedometer, other
gauges and an AM/FM/CD radio now where the passenger glovebox would
normally be. Fronting this informational menagerie is a tilt
column, and rally leather wrapped steering wheel. Heating is
provided for this car, and along with the nicely preserved charcoal
gray carpet, you're all buttoned up and ready for the ride. I'll
give it an 'A' ticket!
Drivetrain
Peering underneath the cowled hood, we see a purple topped fuel
injected 302ci Mustang V8 which has been completely rebuilt. All
parts are like new and consigner stated that this car has the
mileage clocked from the build date which would put its use at a
cool 2,437, barely broken in! On back is a 5-speed manual
transmission pushing power back to a 10-bolt rear. Nice job on the
presentation with just a hint of the purple and no corrosion or
rust.
Undercarriage
A solid frame with the molded fiberglass bod attached, and
certainly no rust in sight. Nicely painted black suspension and
components some in stainless steel. Rack and pinion steering is
upfront, 4 wheel disc brakes all around and coil over suspension
gives this rod a smooth ride. Noted is the purple engine pan below
with no runs drips or errors to be seen.
Drive-Ability
This car fired right up and floated like a butterfly to the test
track where it stung like a bee. Plenty of power with the
injection, the 5-speed shifted easily, and offered up a low RPM
highway cruise. The interior was comfortable and roomy, and all
functions were working just fabulously.
There is something to be said about a fiberglass reproduction cars
when it comes to near perfection, reliability, and no rust. You'll
be able to drive this car to shows and needn't carry a box of
wrenches just in case some misfortune would befall you on the
mechanical side..it ain't gonna happen with this purple beauty!
