Following the introduction of the flathead V-8 engine in 1932, the Ford lineup underwent incremental and evolutionary changes until 1934 when this Ford 5-Window Coupe was crafted into existence. The sleek coupe was honored with an Antique Automobile Club of America Senior Class Award in 2005 and has logged approximately 6 miles since undergoing a comprehensive restoration that returned the Ford to its time-proven combination of understated style and high-performance engineering that made the Model 40 an American favorite of everyday drivers and racers alike. Early versions of the flathead V-8 were not without problems. Production issues were sorted out for 1933, and they were largely forgotten by 1934 as the public embraced the value and performance of the V-8-powered Ford lineup. The year 1934 saw the introduction of Stromberg 2-barrel downdraft carburetion that helped the 221 CI 21-stud V-8 create 85 HP at 3,800 RPM. The V-8 delivers its power to the rear wheels through a floor-shifted sliding-gear 3-speed transmission with single conventional dry-plate clutch for brisk performance from the just more than 2,200-pound coupe. Mechanically operated internal expanding brakes work to scrub off speed. Streamlining was the order of the day in early 1930s Detroit, and with a young Edsel Ford at the helm, the 1932 Ford design language was refined for 1933 and 1934 with features like swept forward hood louvers, complemented here by Coach Maroon paint and red accent striping. An optional greyhound mascot radiator ornament leads the way over the rakish chrome-plated grille surround, headlamp bezels and one-piece drop-center bumpers. Opening the suicide doors reveals a tan mohair interior with woodgrain interior accents. The 5-window Coupe rides on black-painted wire wheels with chrome “V8” logo hubcaps and Goodyear piecrust blackwall tires. The matching rear-mounted spare is protected in a body-color metal case.
