I thought 34 fans may appreciate the untouched original interior in my 29K mile Standard Coupe.

I have a USA 33 standard phaeton (extremely low production, less than 300) Still has original top (with many layers of hard tar) and the original door panels that are black waterproof like cardboard with some stitching under the 50s dinette set vinyl over them some PO put on. Previous owner before me went through all the mechanical, electrical, brakes, fuel systems but didn't touch the body.
Fun looking at the original stuff.

Very Nice! Is the car early production? Do the windows move rearward for venting? Like to see more photos!

That tiny little heater is great. Is it hot air?


I have been driving my '34 around with the floor boards exposed while working on it and the big round hole above the transmission puts out an amazing amount of heat into the cabin, plenty for a 40*F morning drive.

Mike I bought it from Don Chasteen about 5 or 6 years ago. Have you seen it in person?

Here it is, never been taken apart or modified, just a nice original car.

I'll bet that it spent most of it's early life with seat covers. My '51 had seat covers (them old woven straw things) on it when I got it, and I was pleased to see very nice original upholstery underneath them. I immediately replaced them with a new set. It must be a compulsion for older folks, but doesn't make much sense. It's like refraining from screwing your girlfriend so her next boyfriend can have a virgin.:confused:

Would like to see photos of the factory Heater. Under the hood shots. I saw your photo of the heater outlet.

I have not seen it in person but know of it well. Doesn't it have a neat water slide decal from the dealer on the spare tire cover?

I'd surely have to say it's one of the, if not the best unrestored 34 Coupe out there. A standard 33-34 coupe is a bucket lister car for me.

Your '34 Standard coupe interior is exactly the same as my original not-restored '33 Deluxe 3W coupe!
I think that there were 3 available materials for Early Ford V8 interiors.

All '33 3w coupes were Deluxe; the only Ford model that was strictly Deluxe from the factory!

Replies welcomed!

According to "The Early Ford V8, As Henry Built It". there were 6595 "Standard V8" 33 3-Window Coupes built, 191-4 cyl Standard 3 window coupes built......OF course......this is U S production numbers only


13,887 Deluxe 3-window V8's or the "rare" 24 Deluxe 4cyl 3-window's FYI

Michael,

You are correct about the decal, see the picture below.

By request I've also attached pictures of the heater.

The speedometer appears to be a Deluxe since it has a 4 digit trip.

Re: 1934 Standard Coupe Original Interior
 

According to Don it was dealer installed at the owners request.

The history as I was told;

Owner #1 was a woman.

Owner #2 was the man who owned a service station that maintained the car.

Owner #3 was Don Chasteen (a collector of high qualty Early Fords)

What is the color of the dash? Hard to tell from photos.
Have a photo of the door tops with garnish?

When I looked at the picture of the dash it seemed to be black and not the dark maroon. Then I noticed the column drop which is black and I could see the difference. The lack of light possibly makes the maroon seem too dark?

Th interior is a 100% original. I'll try to get better pictures & lighting.

That looks great! I had a 34 dash that someone had painted a different color for some reason. I took the glove box lid, which the back side had not been painted, into an OReillys store and they used their paint camera to come up with a formula. I thought it did a very good job. I have that info somewhere if anyone would like it.

Could you post pictures of your drivers-side door?? Does it ALSO have the door lock lever on it like your passenger-side door does?? See new post here on the barn on the subject.
