Unrestored 34 3 window coupe

[tubman]

Tastes mature. When I was 18, i thought a '40 DeLuxe coupe was the "cat's meow". 65 years down the road, I consider the '39 DeLuxe coupe to be the superior style.

In the winter as I sat at my desk in my small shop I would turn and look into the other room. It gave me those warm fuzzy feelings as I contemplated the meaning of things beautiful. I was experimenting with radial tires so it probably distorts its true beauty. I enjoy this view of my 36 pickup as well but still not quite the same feelings. The search goes on!

I use to know where there was a 33, 3 window coupe. I tried to buy it for several years. He would tease me and said just let me think it over then laugh a bit. Then I found a 32, 3 window and forget about the 33. I did have a 33, 5 window that my son drove it to school when the weather was nice.It was a decent car that had the roof filled in with metal. I drove it on several Glidden Tours. It had a Overdrive in the Driveshaft. We did put duals exhaust with Smitty mufflers. It did sound pretty nice. Now at my age my hobby in a nap now. I plan on getting back on the 32 but I am a bit slow now. Can't see very well any more. Wife laid the law down, no more old cars. She means it? Never know what tomorrow will bring. She always gives in. I hope she will.I know I got to get on the good side of her and that usually works.Time for a nap.

NOT a 3 window, just add two more windows to this 1934 and it fits the bill!! Personally saw this one 19 years ago out west in a barn. ALSO the same exact model, only a 1933 is close by me, also unrestored...and looks almost identical to this one!!!!


Personally, and to add to the fodder, 33 is THE most beautiful car, As DavidG pointed out, the curve of the hood sides, the curve of the grill, the lines flow so much more elegantly and complimentary than the 34, hands down!!!!!

I do not know why you guys want to get into a -issing match over two different beautiful cars. If ya like 33s that is fine with me. Just because that is what appeals to you does NOT make it fact, but only in your imagination. I do not say why I do not prefer the 33 because I do not care to offend anyone or belittle their pride and joy. I may or may not end up with a 33 or 34. If I do it will be "love at first sight" no matter which. 3 or 5 windows are fine.

No body is "belittling" you NOR did I cast aspersions on ANYONE'S car, I NOT stating "FACT"....Just stated my reasons for "liking" the styling Ques of a 33 over a 34, minute as they may be!!!!!..........I would take either one in a heart beat!!!! IT's all in FUN, lighten up!!!!

Reading what you Fellows had to say about the 3 window coupe made me think about the 3 window I tried to buy years ago. No big deal just old times. I did not want to upset the old fellow. WOW maybe he will calm down a bit before supper. Hope so

I did not take it that way at all. You and others took this thread away from the original intention. Go back and read the first post. I have been laughing at all of you guys that are so set on the 1933 models. You are the ones with hurt feelings. Teehee, I did have to look up what aspersion meant!

When I had a hankerin for a model 40 coupe I spent an hour every night after work on the computer at every car site, ebay, nation wide craigs list, and 10 pages back on google in case one was at a garage sale or some small local paper. one and a half years later I got a pile of junk because I was tired of the search, and there were no bargains let me tell ya.

I would say at any given time there are about 20 for sale. 18 are fiberglass street rods, and maybe 2 or 3 will be restored cars in the 75 to 100 grand range. Neither of these options appealed to me, so I got a jalopy

This makes appreciate my 34 3w and realise how fortunate we are to have it in our family

I do have a recently purchased all steel all Ford 34 3w (modified by P.O and builder) and a 33 standard phaeton, unrestored stock except for 16" wheels, still has original top on it. While I like each for their own reasons, to my eye the 33 is better looking. I have albums with pictures of them.

And what a fantastic looking coupe you have!! Quite a lustful car indeed.


Deuce Roadster
Would love to see photos of both BUT the phaeton for sure!!! Standard V8 or 4cyl phaeton??

Odd as it sounds, my crusty old 34 3W gets more attention than my world -class 34 3W.

I'll bet you jump outta bed every day and sing "I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven!"

It should be against the law to own more than one! LOL

Whether driving or just sitting back admiring, as an owner of any 34 Ford, it is tough to argue the pleasure one can get out of some of Henry and team's finest achievements.

This unrestored 5 window was at the 2014 Central Meet.

Could not get enough of it.

A n extremely well preserved and fairly rare standard with optional rumble seat combination.

I live for National Meet moments like this---unrestored survivor at the meet.
Worth making it to the meet for just that one car (or truck).

That 5 window is a fine car for sure . wonder if it has a new grill on it, the early chrome did not hold up well.
