History 3 Window Conversions - Documenting those that exist and concept designs.

Custom Model A Ford converted into a 3 window coupe

 

1934 Ford converted into a 3 window coupe. Chopped with slanted "A pillars" and leaned forward "B pillars."

 

1932 Ford hard topped 3 window coupe

 

Cool, I've not seen that one before.

 

I'd say prototype rather than conversion. That's the Ford Engineering building in the background..........

 

It very well could be. Either way it is really cool

 

THE SINGLE FINGER SALUTE IS NOT DIRECTED TO ANYONE SPECIAL....SEEM FUNNY
IN 1973 !!!!!

 

Would love to see more of that ride

 

No pictures, just observation after looking at the pictures in this thread. There are several key factors IMHO that separate the nice ones from the not so nice ones:
1) 3W conversion need longer doors. Shorten the distance from rear door edge to the rear fender.
2) 3W conversion need slanted B-pillars.
3) 3W conversion look best with rounded door tops, not sharp corners.
4) 3W conversion must be mindful of the length of the sail panel, too long or even too short doesn't work proportionately.
5) 3W conversion look good as taildragger style, not required, but seems to help.
6) 3W conversion look good with chopped top and a sloping rear roof. A too high turret top appearance does not flow as a custom. But not so sloping as to hinder headroom by starting the sloping too far forward.

Some may disagree with me, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is easy to see examples where one of the factors I listed above are ignored however. The best customs flow and just look right, accentuating the body lines and shape.

 

You could add shoten the roof.

 

I agree, that seems to be the best formula for most body styles. The conversion is very challenging and not for the faint of heart, haha...

 

I agree it's a cool car I'm not crazy about forced patina.imo

The right side quarter gl*** didn't get edited.

 

None of the Elegant Customs Art cars are actual cars as shown. They are all photoshopped.
