Vehicle Description
1934 Ford Coupe - All Steel
With the huge success of the Model T and Model A, Henry Ford knew
he had to follow it up with something great. Instead of just
updating the Model A in 1932 he introduced the world to the Model B
and the Model 18. This marked an important milestone in automotive
history as the Model 18 was the very first mass marketed affordable
vehicle with a V8 motor. Ford clearly had a good idea because they
were so popular the company couldn't even keep up with the demand.
While the '32 is an iconic car it still had some resemblance to the
Model A so in '33 they introduced another redesign with a longer
wheel base, new frame, more rounded fenders, and slanted grill just
to name a few features. This design would carry over into 1934 with
only a few minor changes. When it comes to 1930's automobiles it is
tough to ignore Ford because they have been the basis for some of
the coolest classic and street rods on the road. This 1934 Ford 5
Window Coupe is an extremely nice car and was very well built. It
is clear no corners were cut anywhere in the process. The body is
all original Ford steel except for the running boards. They are
also steel but are aftermarket. The car is entirely rust free and
solid throughout. The paint is a beautiful Blue Jean Metallic
combined with Tuxedo Black metallic fenders. It almost looks all
Black at night but get it in the sun and that metallic Blue really
comes to life. The chrome grill, original bowed bumpers,
headlights, turn signals, taillights and window trim are nicely
chromed with a beautiful shine. The car still has its original
working cowl vent and pop out windshield. The HRBB (Boyd) custom
wheels look great on it and are wrapped with BF Goodrich tires. It
has 245/45ZR17s in the front and 255/45ZR18s in back.
Lift up the 4 piece louvered steel hood and you will find that this
thing is still sporting a Flathead V8 like it would have
originally. You see so many of these cars with the 350/350 combo
nowadays that it makes ones with Ford motors really stand out among
the pack. The engine has been entirely rebuilt and runs just as
good as it looks. It has Offenhauser heads, an Offenhauser intake
and dual Stromberg carburetors. The car starts right up, runs great
and sounds great too through its fully powder coated dual exhaust
system. The transmission is a 5 speed manual out of a Mustang and
shifts smoothly to transfer power back to the Ford 9 inch rear end.
The car sits on a boxed frame and the entire undercarriage is very
cleanly done and finished out. The poly gas tank is mounted under
the rear. The brakes have been upgraded to disc in front and it
stops smoothly with no issues.
The interior was completed by Alton Starnes who has been doing
upholstery work for years and is well known in the area. It is
finished out in a Tan King Ranch leather and looks excellent. It
has been very well cared for since being done so still looks brand
new. It has dual bucket seats in place with lap belts. Weave
carpeting covers the floors and is in great condition as well. Also
on the floors is an emergency brake and floor shifter. The dash is
painted in Blue to match the body and topped off with a set of
beautiful after market gauges as well as the glove box. The gauges
are analogue but do have Blue backlighting and a digital clock and
odometer. The Ididit tilt column is nicely polished and features a
Grant woodgrain steering wheel. The Vintage AC is a very unique
feature on this car because it is actually routed behind the seats.
It has a custom upper vent and lower vents mounted to the rear
storage bench. This keeps the dash looking uncluttered and avoids
having an underdash unit. Keeping with that theme the Custom
Autosound stereo system is also hidden and controlled via a remote.
The trunk has been nicely finished out as well in the same leather
and weave carpeting.
This extremely cool 1934 Ford has a lot going for it and both looks
and drives great. If you have been in the market for one definitely
check it out because all original steel cars are getting harder and
harder to find.
