Vehicle Description
For consignment, a 1934 Ford 40 Deluxe roadster showing 51 miles but true miles are unknown. Not a nut or bolt was missed in the frame off restoration of this vehicle that included every mechanical component. Even the spark plugs are Ford scripted examples and the car itself has garnered two first place AACA Senior awards and received 994 out of 1,000 points in the Early Ford V-8 Dearborn Awards.
Exterior
Two stage Coach Maroon covers both the body and fenders of this roadster, augmented by a hand pulled red pinstripe and 17-inch red wire wheels including the rear mounted spare. The stunning flowing lines of the car include new for '34 straight hood louvers and a wide, rubber coated running board that connects the graceful, arching fenders. The number of vertical bars on the grille was reduced for '34, but that doesn't make it any less stylish and the polished frame is breathtaking with all the proper ornamentation. Brown vinyl trim surrounds the flawless tan canvas top while the rear glass window is framed in metal. Overall, paint and trim are excellent with imperfections noted as a scratch near the running board, one by a hinge, and some bubbling and chipping paint from within a body line above the pinstripe.
Interior
Saddle vinyl begins on the door cards as part of the LeBaron Bonney interior, continuing on the bench and rumble seats, all in very nice condition and column stitched. The attractive three spoke steering wheel front a burled walnut painted dash and knobs with refurbished gauges topped by a body colored dash pad. Footwells are cleanly lined with more of the saddle vinyl and the floor has a fitted gray rubberized mat surrounding both the shifter and the handbrake, looking fresh from 1934.
Drivetrain
And talk about fresh looking! The Schwalm's rebuilt 221ci flathead V8 really does look showroom clean. It's fueled by a 2-barrel carburetor and rated at 90 horsepower, mated to a rebuilt 3-speed manual transmission that routes power to the rebuilt rear with 4.11 gears.
Undercarriage
Lots of Dupont chassis black went into dressing up the underside and it's incredibly clean, contrasting nicely against the maroon floor panels. Mechanical drum brakes are front and rear and so are transverse leaf springs for suspension. The newer exhaust is a single system that flows through a stock style dome muffler with new hangers, exiting just behind the rear bumper.
Drive-Ability
If it drives half as good as it looks, the car will be a winner! Well, we have a winner here because it runs as good as it looks with no hiccups along the way. This little piece of Americana performed probably as well, if not better than it did when that first fortunate buyer drove it off the lot. We note only the trip odometer not working, but all other functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
When we say no stone was unturned to complete this restoration, we mean no stone. That old adage of "you couldn't build it for that" may have never been more applicable than with this fine example of a fairly rare '34 Ford configuration. Here's a turnkey show winner that deserves an honored spot in your garage!
