Vehicle Description
With all the '34 Ford rods running around, it's refreshing to see
this 1934 Chevy cabriolet show up. Adding to its relatively unusual
make and model, it has a fantastic turquoise and silver flame paint
job that will definitely make it stand out.
The body's fiberglass and offers the kind of slick look that
defines the best rods. The changes from stock are subtle but the
entire package makes a big statement. Shaved door handles and
hinges, a solid hood, and those neatly integrated side mirrors help
enhance the silver flames licking along the front of the car. In
back, there are flush-mounted taillights and a hidden license plate
frame to keep it smooth. Fit and finish are quite good and the
doors feel solid when you pull them closed, another hallmark of
quality components. The paint shows a little of what we call "shelf
wear" but no major issues and shines up well enough to attract a
crowd at the local cruise night. The silver flames fading to
magenta are a newer take on a traditional look, and on this sleek,
high-tech Chevy they really work. A billet grille insert, crystal
clear King Bee headlights, and a minimum of chrome trim means this
rod will never look dated.
Gray leather buckets from a late-model seem right at home in the
vintage Chevy's passenger compartment. Those long doors also
provide plenty of legroom in the sporty Chevy body and are wrapped
in custom-made door panels made from matching materials, and gray
carpets on the floor tie it all together and help control noise and
heat. The color-matched dash offers a beautiful polished insert for
the gauges that has an awesome Art-Deco look accented by VDO
instruments. Luxury features are expected in a high-end rod, so
this one includes A/C, power windows, and a tilt column topped by a
beautiful BOYD'S steering wheel. There's also a great-sounding
AM/FM/CD stereo that fills the car with sound even with the
lift-off top removed for open-air motoring. The power assisted
trunk is obviously finished for show, too, with embossed Chevrolet
bowtie emblems and a big '34' in the center.
A sturdy, well-dressed 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 makes this lovely
cabrio a fantastic tour partner. Lots of chrome and billet gear
makes the engine bay sparkle when you open the tilt hood, and the
accessories are mounted high and tight to the engine for good
service access. There's a mild cam inside and a four-barrel up top,
so it has the right amount of hot-rod cackle but doesn't tire you
out on long road trips. The tube chassis has been painted to match
the body and shows remarkably little wear but lots of evidence of
professionals at work. A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission uses
a body-colored driveshaft to turn the matching Ford 9-inch rear,
with a beautifully crafted stainless exhaust system tucked up high
and out of the way. Handsome 5-spoke BOYD'S billet wheels tuck into
the fat fenders quite neatly and wear staggered BF Goodrich radials
for a classic rake.
This Chevy all by itself makes people stop and stare. This is a
showstopper that doubles as a practical long-distance cruiser. Call
