Thread: Brought the 34 Coupe Home.

Tweet

I brought home the 34 5 window coupe yesterday. The owners wife was a little sad to see it go but happy it's going to good home. They had owned it since 1958.

Here it is loaded on the trailer getting ready to go.





Here it is arriving at my place and in the shop.





Some other pics. I can't wait to get it going! First thing I'll do is give Mrs. H a ride.

I'm green with envy. It looks even better in the sunlight than in the earlier pictures you posted a while back. That car is NICE, and it certainly has a history to it which makes it even cooler.

Have fun and keep us posted as you bring her back to life.

I agree with Don - great looking car! You are a lucky guy!

Great looking car and you have a beautiful shop to work on it.

Jack.

Great looking car and nice clean workshop to park it in. Please let us know what your plans are for it and keep the photos of progress coming.

Thanks guys. I'm excited to get started on this one!

Great car . My father in law was talking today of having a accident in a 34 cpe and him and his dad went to the salvage yard grabbed a axle and wish bone and the car was driving again .

This is one lucky find unless you knew them before . He had a nice collection and knew it was all a investment for his wife Great Man .

NICE CAR!!!!

Those pictures of your '34 coupe brought back fond memories of my '34 Fordor when I first built it up in '62. I notched my firewall and put the battery in the same place as your's is, also I drove around with the hood off just so show off my cammed '48 Merc. My motor was painted red and had chrome "acorns", I even polished the top of the radiator.

Just in case you would rather have a '26 T coupe instead of the '34, I'd trade ya even up

Started buffing out the paint. It's coming out pretty good!
Some before and after pics.

Heck NOW I am GREEN with ENVY.I think with abit of spit'n polish you gonna have a real early style Hotrod. I asked earlier what your plans were, now I would like to suggest you clean her up,put some fresh fuel in her and enjoy your own bit of Hotrodding history. VERY NICE.

Yup,thats one beautiful coupe,,a real piece of history,I think that would be the find of the year,ENJOY...

Thanks guys! I'm have been waiting for this car all my life. I have to thank my friend Jay for letting me know about it.

My plans are just cleaning it up and getting it drivable for now. The interior needs to be finished and a few other small thing. I do have a built '48 59AB engine with Offy heads, 2X2 manifold and headers I will drop in later. But right now just get it back on the road.

What a great car. And the owner had it for over 40 years. It has cleanned up nicely. Will keep an eye on progress. Again a nice coupe a good buy...

Got another project Friday. I don't think this one will buff out as well!

Traded my 38 Chevy Cab, grille and front fenders for this 29/30 Model A. Cowl is 30/31 and rear is 29. The 29 cowl was not is very useable condition. The top was long gone so now it's a Roadster. The A frame and front axle/bones I had. I'll use one of my Mercury Fatheads in this one.

Ok, now we officially really hate you. Holy cow is that thing cleaning up great or what? Just an unbelievable find, especially that it is an old hot rod. It's in the right hands too, looks like you will do the old gal right. She deserves all the best.
