At the height of the Great
Depression, Henry Ford and his crew released what would become a near-legendary
body design. Based on what is referred to as the Model C Series 40 lines, the
company offered a variety of seating styles and body arrangements in 1934, with
one being a diminutive coupe with forward-facing suicide doors and just three
windows. As budget vehicles, these cars met the needs of that trying era, yet
they would be much more notorious in modified form following World War II. The
example offered here is truly desirable in its all-steel configuration. Unlike
the many that ended up in Hot Rod heaven, this motorcar has been brought to an
OEM level of refreshing and shows approximately 10 miles on the odometer since
that effort was finished. To maintain some practicality, the model featured the
flip-open rumble seat for additional riders, but for many buyers, the recently
introduced Ford 90-degree V-8 engine was a major attraction. This car features
that 21-stud 221 CI flathead engine, rated that year at an increased 85 HP and
equipped with a downdraft carburetor. It received the floor-shifted 3-speed
transmission as well. Like deluxe versions, the black paint is accented with a
cream stripe, and it features dual horns. Other exterior components were the
new-for-’34 chrome grille, headlamp bezels, chrome bumpers with bumper guards,
cowl lamps, chrome windshield frame, draft deflectors and luggage rack.
Crowning the top edge of the grille is a beautiful greyhound mascot. Inside is
the reappointed tan mohair interior, featuring simulated woodgrain accents and
spartan accessories. Nonetheless, the car features wire wheels painted in a complementary
cream with chrome “V8” hubcaps, Goodyear diamond-tread tires and a rear-mounted
spare with accompanying metal casework. Beautiful throughout, these cars were
never as common as the more practical Tudor design; do not miss this
opportunity to own one of the true classics of the early Ford V-8 legacy.
