I wonder if those suicide doors are really that much easier to get in and out of.

There is more leg room. That is why they are easier to get in and out of and sit in.

I can't tell you about the number of 33 or 34 Victoria's built with a 4 cylinder. I can tell you that you will want a V8. The V8 engine makes the car so much more enjoyable. By the way, any 33-34 Ford is a great choice.

The first time I drove a '32 Ford I was amazed at how much better the car drove compared to my '31 Victoria. The comfort, ride, steering, gear shifting, and power of the V8 engine is a night and day difference. I can't imagine what the buying public thought about the '32 Ford when it first came out. Yes, the '32s had lots of problems in the beginning. However, they were worked out. I like my Model A and all Model A Fords. However, the upgraded V8 car is and was remarkable.

I think the '33 or '34 is what was in the 1968 'Bonnie & Clyde' movie when his brother comes roaring up to the travel court. Oh, that exhaust rumble.....

I'm kind of looking for a Victoria.I'm going to replace my July of 28 Phaeton.But,I only want a steelback,no puffy tops.I'd be just as happy with a slant window Fordor too.
