Love the looks of a 34 roadsterand#44; but perhaps looking for something a little more weather-friendly? How about this butch-looking 1934 cabrioletand#44; which has the same awesome open-air vibe as the roadsterand#44; but with the protection of a folding topand#44; roll-up windowsand#44; and windshield wipers that actually work. Theres nothing subtle about this slick satin black rodand#44; but thats entirely the point. Sureand#44; the body is fiberglassand#44; but the look is timelessand#44; and everywhere you goand#44; folks recognize the appeal of the 1934 Ford. From the pointed radiator shell and sweeping fenders to the raked-back windshield and smoothly tapered rear deckand#44; theres something here that will appeal to everyoneand#44; and the fact that its totally functional as a real car is something that most rods attemptand#44; but not all achieve. Workmanship is quite goodand#44; and with fiberglassand#44; its easy to get great gaps and a solid feeland#44; and with that satin black paint joband#44; the shape simply speaks for itself. It features stock-style suicide doors with chrome handlesand#44; a custom grille insert in the pointed grille shelland#44; and 1939 Ford taillights that have been smoothly integrated into the rear fenders. Red pinstripes add a classic old-school vibe with details on the hood louvers and in backand#44; and theyre matched by the red stripe in the stock-style chrome bumpers. Red cloth upholstery ties in with the bodyworkand#44; and offers more comfort in an open car than sticky vinyl or sweaty leather might. The stitching has a traditional look with pleats on the seats and simple door panels with billet hardwareand#44; and twin buckets make it easy for everyone to get comfortable. Old-school gauges from Ford Motorsport highlight the smooth dashand#44; which roughly approximates the shape of the original 1934 design. With a tilt column and wood-rimmed wheeland#44; it has a great look thats a bit upscaleand#44; which is right where the cabriolet was positioned when it was new. Lokar supplied the shifterand#44; and if you want entertainmentand#44; its all controlled by you right foot. Weather protection is provided by a snug-fitting white top with a decent-sized rear window (no blind spots!) and the trunk is neatly finished and perfect forand#44; sayand#44; the Hot Rod Power Tour. But this rod is no poser. The engine is a freshly built 302-inch V8 bored .030 oversize fitted with all kinds of upgrades. A Cobra dress-up kit should look familiar to anyone who has ever driven a hi-po Ford before and its entirely appropriate here. Ford Blue on the block looks great against the satin black bodywork and the overall look is serious and functional rather than over-done. Block-hugging headers dump into a custom-built dual exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflersand#44; so this sucker really cackles. The suspension is a Mustang II setup in front with power rack-and-pinion steering and disc brakesand#44; while an 8.8-inch out back hangs on a Mustang trailing arm setup. Theres also a 3-speed automatic transmission in the middle. It nails the perfect stance with painted steel wheels wearing skinny 205/70/14 front and fat 255/70/15 rear whitewall radials. Go ahead and enjoy the open roadand#44; this 34 Ford has you covered; its ready to rock or to be taken to the next level. Call today! |
