34' 5-WINDOW COUPE

The 1934 Fords looked very similar to the redesigned 1933s but were much enhanced. Ford again achieved a 10 horsepower increase in engine output with the new Stromberg two-barrel carburetor raising the V-8's output to 85 horsepower at 3,800 rpm. Other changes included a relocated fuel pump and a thermostat in the cooling system. Internally the '34 incorporated a cast steel crankshaft which was a revolutionary accomplishment in metallurgy, foundry technique and machining, and was fitted with lighter connecting rods.
Sporting and elegant at the same time, the classic 5-Window Coupe has been a popular choice for both collectors and hotrodders alike. With the trusty V-8 under the hood, and rugged good looks all around, many fine examples were subject to the customizers cutting torch with the roofs chopped and the bodies sectioned or channeled onto the frame.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

Like its sister-car from the collection, the Tudor Sedan, this 5-Window was kept garaged and under cover during Mr. Williams' ownership exactly alongside the Tudor in the same garage. Usage was similar, and the car was essentially driven to shows and Hot Rod events.

This professionally built Hot Rod features a burgundy paint job and chromed American Racing wheels. The fully customized interior sports grey leather and fabric on the seats, door panels, and headliner. A grey plastic dashboard and leather Lecarra steering wheel completes the cockpit.

Equipped with a 5.0 Cobra HD engine, the car perfectly follows the codes of Hot Rodding. It is equipped with a high performance engine, striking paint job and streamlined interior. The cherry on top are electrically operated doors and the rumble seat hood. The overall look of the build attracts the eye and is now ready for new adventures and meets under new ownership. Mechanical recommissioning will be needed to further road use.
