truck
4d sedan
tudor
5w coupe
truck delivery
3w coupe
roadster
phaeton

My preference is a 1934 Ford 3 Window -but now pricey.
However whatever you get I would suggest an unmodified car. It would not appear that you own one yet. There is something really nice in owning and driving a car that is just as it left the factory over 80 years ago -Karl

My bucket list car is a '35 roadster, but I'd take it in a totally different direction.

Looks somewhat stock, except lowered all around with one of those new, aluminum, fuel injected 427 SBC, 6 speed, and Champ quick change for running gear.

Something so cool about frying the tires for miles in an old Ford.

Don't overlook the beauty and functionality/utility of a Fordor Sedan. I got hooked on four door sedans when I first saw a '34 with all four of its 'suicide doors' open - a thing of beauty. But then, the '34 was the last year of 4 suicide doors....

I like you Indianapolis Racer, I really do. Same for all y’all guys but for the sake of all that is good and descent please please don’t buy another beautiful Ford and screw it up with a bastard engine.

Well said, but I'd stretch it through '39 with the possible exception of the preceding model year.

It's crazy what a original ford invokes.

Ya know, I look at all the 32 3 windows that are mod'ed. they are great. But have you really looked a stock 32 3w. Maybe there is not many. They look amazing.
