Projects Look what rolled into the shop today,a 57k 1934 5 window coupe

Yes that is correct a 57,000 original mile 34 Ford, from the rut belt. It belongs to a fellow in my hometown that bought it in 1958. Here is the best part he bought it from his uncle that got it new in 34! Its been in storage all these years and has been painted once in the 70's. The only change that he has made to the car is it has been converted to 12volt in the 70's. He "got tired of it not starting" It runs like a top with no troubles. The only rust I had to replace was a 14inch long by 1inch tall strip on the drivers side rocker. I'm going to have the car for a few days so if anyone needs measurements/pictures of an "the way it was" 1934 P.m me. and I will do my best to get them for you. More pics coming...

 

I would love to have that!!!Thinking about trading my 36 for a model -40.Thats my dream car .Thanks for sharing

 

No its not for sale....I tried...get in line. all the wood is original and not dry rotted. The doors shut and latch like new. Simply amazing. I'm actually looking forward to sanding this one. The plan is to go back to black, this car is going to be sharp.

 

you should chop it

 

i suppose it's like dreaming I've won the lottery then waking up! Superb car, one can but dream.

 

Know to know it exists!

 

beautiful hot rod

 

that would be A PLEASURE to work on!

 

Sorry some of these are a little dark. I was kind of in a hurry,I'm on a tight deadline on this one. He's a farmer and would like to have the car back before he hits the fields. The grill of the car doesn't even have one bent fin, not one ding.

 

Can I come over and drool. Maybe touch it? I'm not that far away.

 

Sure, bring a camera it will almost make you sick...

 

all i got is...wow.

 

Some more, sorry again for some of the dark pictures.

 

What did you use to strip the paint? It looks like a really clean job.

 

I will GIVE you a generator. Make it right.

 

Wow. I hope you'll give it the love and respect is deserves.

 

Very Cool, I am constantly showing my son (17 ) threads here and when he saw that car and how good of shape its in he flipped.

 

Wow! So clean.

 

That is quite a thing to have roll through your shop. I dig it, for sure.

 

The body has been soda blasted by a friend and fellow HAMBER, OlMarty. It does a great job.

 

I'd take you up on it..but the owner has the original on a shelf. He's pretty set on the 12 volt.

 

just awesome.Must be nice to basque in the glow of an original mileage 34.

 

Can I have the original? JK. Really nice car. Take care of it.
Better yet....send the og to me. I'll make it 12V.

 

I stand in awe of it every time I open my door. I will post progress pictures when I'm done. And as a teaser..........he has a 37 Ford 2 door slant back that is just as nice.

 

I wish I saw cool things like that at my work. I think it is cool that it is being kept somewhat original and I rarely say that.

 

All I can say is WOW !

 

Just a story without pics.

 

Will get pics of the 37 when I get the 34 back to him. Its in the garage next to where the 34 sets at his place.

 

Very nice.

Got any pics before it was stripped??
