The Million Dollar Question: 3W or 5W?

5W for me ! View attachment 5795968

 

5 window for me

 

I've had three Henry Ford 5 window coupes and one glass 3 window, The original 3 windows have always been above my pay scale.

I remember Randy Nash (Deuce Roadster) saying the 3 window was the gentlemans hot rod, his opinion if you chopped a 3 window it ended up looking like a glass car, the 5 windows look good chopped or not, fenders or not. HRP

 

I had a 5 window, excellent no rust Calif car. I sold the fenders, running boards, and did up a red '32 Hiboy.
It was a little difficult getting in and out, (with that 'short door') my bud Bill had a 3 window. Suicide doors made it a sit-down and you were in.
My Mom passed after a long sickness, and I sold the 5 window at age 17. Looked long and hard, never found another one.
Had multiple Model A's, '34s, '36es, etc.

 

Both/either

 

Before making a decision, go to a car show and look at the difference in your ability to enter and exit each of them. Smaller or agile guys can use either one. Bigger and less agile probably need the 3 window.

 

I like them both, but I guess I'm partial to 3 Window.

Five Window For Me But Why Wait For A Fantasy Gift?.. ..

 

5 window preferred but I'm happy even to have my '32 4dr.

5 all the way

 

5W. American Graffiti can be blamed.

 

3w for me.
Easier access with my long legs, and I prefer the look of a 3w when unchopped with fenders fitted, is why I bought a 3w over a 5w.

 

Three Window Chevy...

 

3 window for me..........I think.

 

5 here with the back seat

 

I have had my 3W since 66. I have had a dozen cars since. All gone except the roadster. I have had untold offers to buy it. I will always have it.
