If you had the money which Ford?
 

On the Early V8 site a very nive '40 Mercury 4 door convertible is for sale and I think he is looking for 50 large or better.Very nice car but it just got me to thinking how far down the list it would be if every Ford I want was exactly what I had to spend. My top ten list would be: '32 Roadster B or V8. '32 5 window B or V8. '46 Sportsman. '39 ford convertible coupe. '37 woody wagon.'46 Ford woody wagon.'31 Model A deluxe Phaeton(tudor) '30 or '31 Roadster pickup. '33 or '34 roadster. '37 roadster or cabriolet. Anybody else got a top ten? I could easily make out a top 25 and I don't think a 4 door convertible would be on it. I also love '53- '56 Ford F-100 and am trying to buy back a '53 I sold over 25 years ago that has not moved from when I drove it into buyers garage.

38 standard coupe 85hp. But it has to be black. Have had my fingers on just about everything else.

But they really dont fall into the big $$$ issue. Just finding a nice one is .ore of the problem

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

As a non-customize street rod type, the bad-ass looks factor determines the priority. In order:
1 - '34 five window coupe
2 - '40 Super Deluxe coupe
3 - '32 five window coupe
4 - '37 Tudor slant back
5 - '41 Super Deluxe business coupe (early model year, without the extraneous chrome)

To achieve maximum bad-ass, it must be black and sit with a 2 - 3" rake.

I had wanted a '36 3-window since I was in high school. I finally found one and finished it they way I wanted. Be careful of what you wish for. I found the car to be very cramped and sold it after about 8 years "Wishin' and Hopin'"

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

My dream car is a 32 3 or 5 window coupe. Has to have a Flathead or Hemi, manual trans, Quick Change rear. Not a perfectly fitted street rod but a driver. I WISH!

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

'34....All body styles....Except, I would reject any 'Ragtop'....

And, NEVER a '38 Deluxe or a '39 Standard! - These two models were born in Hell with a gasoline can tied to their bumpers. '38 Standard and '39 Deluxe are just fine....

1933 Cabriolet

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

1936 Club Cabriolet..... I found one and so far I am about 6 years into restoration

37 cabriolet, with stock engine or 59AB. Excellent comfort riding, east of repair, plentiful parts and a excellent handling vehicle.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

1936 Ford Roadster.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

Ken/Alabama's 39 black Zephyr

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

I could never say a particular year or style Ford - it would have to be a car that speaks to me. I have all ready been very fortunate to own a really nice 40, my avatar, I have a 40 pickup for the wife coming together, a 32 5-window I have a build thread on the HAMB of, and then there is a 28 pickup I will put together just because.

However, if I HAD to choose, of course it would be something I have not owned and that would be a 36 cabriolet or 3-window. The art Deco styled look of the car is just a one of a kind look. Of course a LaSalle grille would be nice along with an Ardun under the hood but now I'm really pushing it!

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

any 34 ford except a convertible

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

John Melners 32 3 window

Re: If you had the money which Ford?

>>>any 34 ford except a convertible>>>

Geez. OK, I take a 34 convertible. And a 33 convertible would be good too. Plus a 33-36 Willys convertible while I got the money. Jack E/NJ

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

34 Roadster. Hands down.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

I'm a 33-34 5w fan, but prefer the 33s.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

33 roadster to go with my 33 phaeton. I am happy with the rest of my flathead era Fords.
There are a couple of brand X cars I would like to have!

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

I could never pin it down to one, as I like them all, but I would know the car when I se it , they sort of have got "IT" or not. hard to describe

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

No surprise here I guess. First choice would be a rust free version of the 52 Merc I already have.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

40 coupe X 10. Had one I restored backin the 60's many coats of black laquer, new 37 De Sota bumpers and a 59 engine. Sold it for 600 bucks because I was making Babies and was building an addition on the house. Got four kids instead. Guess that was a pretty good deal .

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

Fairly common likes by me. 1933-36 three window. and if Lincolns count 36-39 zephyrs coupe.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

Gee. 45-48 woodie, 50 convert, 53 of some sort, a 33 phaeton, a L-Z coupe and maybe a 41 Continental just for grins.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

Walton's AA express bed 1 1/2 ton pickup. Perhaps a 59ab under the hood, juice brakes and something other than the worm drive rear axle, but it would have to look stock.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

33-34 Roadster or Cabriolet.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

37 Cabriolet...

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

I'm only going to list 3. 40 Ford coupe, 37 Ford coupe and 56 Meteor CV. My list could go on for a long time.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

One of each, 1933 thru 1957.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

I don't think Ford made a flathead model that I don't want.

Re: If you had the money which Ford?
 

Of course John Milners 32 from American Graffiti. I will also list a 66/67 Fairlane GT/ GTA
