Some of our favorite vehicles are the could have beensand#44; that isand#44; cars that could have been built back in the dayand#44; but the factory never quite got around to it. Of courseand#44; Ford was building pickup trucks in 1934and#44; but they didnt look nearly as gorgeous as this one with its passenger-car front end and they definitely werent doing roadster pickupsand#44; making this one doubly cool. Few will argue that the 34 Ford wasnt a triumph of designand#44; but the pickup trucks that year werent so lucky as to get the gorgeous front-end sheetmetal of their civilian siblings. So some enterprising soul took it upon himself to create what might just be the best-looking 30s pickup weve ever seen. Its a Pauls fiberglass body with a steel grill and hoodand#44; but the look is instantly recognizable and has all the style that you see on the 3-window coupes. Flowing fendersand#44; suicide doorsand#44; and that deeply Veed grille all remain iconic pieces of rodding history. Finish quality is decent all around with a few signs of useand#44; but the vivid red paint and shiny details make this an easy car to love. Its got a traditional roadster windshield with wind wingsand#44; large chrome headlights that look greatand#44; and smoothed running boards that enhance the longand#44; flowing fender lines. The bed is fabricated from oak and offers a beautifully finished floor with an actual safety glass window to the trick suspension underneath and it uses 39 Ford taillights for a popular hot-rod look. Gray fabric makes for a comfortable interiorand#44; with or without the top in placeand#44; and the decidedly modern look of the seats is contrasted with the vintage instrument panel. Those chairs are ultra-comfortable Recaros and the rest of the interior has been neatly upholstered to match. Slightly darker carpets add some contrast and the shifter and E-brake both offer custom-stitched leather boots for a well-finished presentation. A collection of Classic Instruments gauges are clustered in front of the driver with a tach right in the middle. A tilt column with a billet wheel makes it easy to get comfortable in the cozy roadster pickup and it even uses a vintage 1934 Ford spoon-type accelerator pedal for authenticity. The canvas-covered top is a lift-off unit that does a pretty convincing impersonation of a folding top and there are provisions in the bed for storing the top so you can take it with you. 350 cubic inches of Chevy V8 provides the performance and the nicely dressed small block fits so neatly under the hood that youd think it was born there. Wearing body-colored paint on the block and lots of billet aluminum and chromeand#44; its worthwhile to open the hood whenever possible and thanks to an Edelbrock intake and carburetorand#44; and block-hugging headersand#44; it makes for entertaining performanceand#44; too. The front suspension is a traditional I-beam with leaf spring and radius rodsand#44; while the rear is an independent setup with another transverse leaf spring. In betweenand#44; theres a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission and a lot more chrome and polished stainless componentry. Its got a fantastic hot rod rake which is made even more effective with staggered Bonspeed aluminum wheels wearing 215/40/18 front and 275/35/20 rear performance radials. You can see the appeal of such a machine and the execution and build quality on this one mean that you can drive it without worries. Call today! |
