I'm beginning to think just like 57 Chevys still existing as proved at runs and shows,.......... with all the 34's showing up on theses pages, every real steel 34 is still on the road !!!!!!!!!!!
Every thing said so far is true. It is just that when I bought mine in 95 I thought I was buying something that wasn't seen a lot, meaning steel 34's not the plastic ones. Maybe thinking of putting this one on the market.
Larry...PLEASE don't trade it off on a 'tri-5' Chebby!!! But...you'd be popular at the Goodguise events...
Oh no Mike, been there, done that with a '57 years back. Thinking maybe 70/71 Hemi Barracuda and pretending I'm a 60 y.o. boomer guy. LOL
Sold this one to start my company. Built this one to fill the hole in my heart that the shiny one left. This one is next and will look damn near exactly like the shiny one. I would step over a pile of rust free '32 stuff just to get to a mangled '34 carc***. -Abone.
Well flamedabone I'm with ya and I'm predigest just a little also. I don't have any idea who hung "the most iconic hot rod" on the deuce, (see I spelled it right), but IMO it ain't. 32's Nice ? Yes. Iconic is the 34/33 (notice 34 before 33). Had to be Hot Rod Magazine or one of those
I've had this one since 1999. It has a 327 / 4-speed and was originally built by John McDonald.. I'll own it until I die!
I Tetris'd a '33 5W together and sold it, now I have enough scabs to quilt a full fendered '34 together, no idea when I'll get to it but I will at some point. I'm also kinda shocked at how many OG bodies survived, and how they seem to be everywhere now. I never even knew of one being for sale up until a few years ago, now I've seen quite a few, and had 2.
I am a diehard 34 fan. To me it is the best body style going. I appreciate all of the different models. In my eyes the 34 is the best looking 4 four door made.
I wish that there were more people like you in the world. That would leave more ‘32 stuff for people like me..........
There was a guy in Cleveland, GA that has p***ed away, name Larry Bailey IIRC, who was a '34 collector. When I met him back in the late 80s he had at least one of every body style '34 Ford ever built, all restored or original in pristine condition. He hated '32s called them " heavy duty Model As" LOL. I later bought a '33 frame from him, intending to either find a body or buy a gl*** one. But before this ever came to fruition, I found a mocked up '31 Brookville Roadster body, on new P&J frame with all sorts of parts already bought for what I consider a good deal and completed that. I have owned in the past, several As, both coupe and roadster, a '32 3wdw,and a '34 3wdw, and a '40 coupe. Still have the roadster and '40 coupe, but agree that to me a '34 is the cream of the crop.
