34' TUDOR SEDAN

Henry Ford gave the Model 40 two years, 1933 and 1934, to repay the company's investment. The car rose to the challenge, with production totaling just under 900,000 units in the two years. 1934 was the first year since 1929 that the Ford Motor Company earned a profit.
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.
It was quite clear where consumers' preferences were going in 1934. Ford built nearly 270,000 Tudor sedans and 145,000 Fordors. Of Phaetons, both Standard and Deluxe, there were only 4,290, a quantity that would be lost in the rounding of 2- and 4-door sedan production. Only station wagons were built in smaller quantities. The closed car had already vastly outstripped open car production and it would continue to skew further and further toward the comfort, convenience, warmth and safety of fully-enclosed steel bodies as the Thirties progressed.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

Showing nicely, this Hot Rod Tudor was garaged under a cover while present in Mr. Williams' collection. Along with other Hot Rods from the collection, the car was essentially used for cars & coffees, meets, parades, and events such as Hot August Nights in Reno, NV.
This professionally built Hot Rod sports a two-tone paint job – Ivory on the main body and Grey on the flares. While the custom interior may show few signs of aging, especially on the driver's seat, the underside of the car advocates for the careful preservation of the car.
Gifted with a 355ci blown engine coupled with a Holley carburetor, the car was evidently built with care using some of the best mechanical components available. Finished with Halibrand Knock-Off wheels, the car is surely a head-turner and the perfect partner for night-cruises, Sunday drives, and American car meets. Mechanical checks and recommissioning will be needed for safe road usage.
