Re: The 1934 Brewster - Built On A Ford Chassis - Marketed By Rolls Royce
Seems like I have seen a Brewster with "caning" work done to the back part of the body. Anyone have a picture?

For history's sake, it's neat that it had survived. Still, in any of its itineration's, it's just plain ugly.

Re: The 1934 Brewster - Built On A Ford Chassis - Marketed By Rolls Royce
Another thing that stands out to me with all the pictured Brewsters is the lack of venting from the side panels on the hood. We all know how tough it is to keep flatheads cool, how cool did the engines in these Brewsters run? Especially with that narrow grill?
serious question....can brewsterbuff or any other person with first hand knowledge respond?

The 1934 Brewster - Built On A Ford Chassis - Marketed By Rolls Royce
Look at the earlier post I made about the list
of famous car owners - these cars navigated the streets of NYC and other metropolitan areas without issues. Those thinking this car is Ugly Well having spent more than a full day with this car - I question your sense of style . Jim |

I like the Brewster grill. I think it's different, in a good way.
Another interesting grill, to install on it, might be a chromed '36 PU. I'm sure Edsel wouldn't have approve a truck grill on a luxury car. My favorite grills are the 33/34 car and 35/36 truck.

The Brewster in the Rod and Custom article was originally owned by Charlie Chaplin. At the time of the road test (1969) it was owned by one John Richie of San Francisco and that is where the road test was done. No mention of overheating or any other problems.

My reaction to the Brewster Fords is similar to most of the more modified from stock custom cars, the Ford styling is superior to the replacement.

Re: The 1934 Brewster - Built On A Ford Chassis - Marketed By Rolls Royce
There were 3 or 4 of these at the western meet in 2017. I know a couple of people who have owned one. They're around and occasionally come out of the woodwork. You either love them or hate them. Seems to be no in between. They are an important part of the ford history in that a formidable coach builder chose a Ford chassis. Anything comparable ever done with a Chevy?
