Description

FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While attending one of the local Classic Car Shows last Friday night, May 30, 2014 in Bellemore, New York located on the south shore of Long Island I came across this mint conditioned 1934 Ford Coupe. The night had periods of rain on and off so I had to take whatever photos I was going to take quickly as the sky was turning dark in a hurry. But the night time sky and the lights surrounding the show made for some interesting photos. This great looking classic had the running boards which connected the front and rear fenders to each other and the fenders as was standard on these Ford's were built large, practically covering the whole wheel. The front grill was a long vertical piece something Ford had just introduced recently around 1934 and the colors on this car blended and stuck out so well together with the red and black. One of the most interesting parts of this car was on each side of the front of the body, where Ford had built a side light that gave the impression of the car moving even faster then it was by the blurred light.
For more information on this classic car please feel free to read the information below;
The 1934 Ford (the Model 40B) was not as substantial a model year change as the previous two years had been. Noticeable changes included a flatter grille with a wider surround and fewer bars, straight hood louvers, two handles on each side of the hood, smaller head lights and cowl lamps, and a reworked logo. The bare metal dash insert was replaced by painted steel.
V‑8 output was again increased, this time to 85 hp (63 kW), and the four-cylinder Model B engine was in its last year, as was the Victoria body style; nevertheless, there were fourteen body options, the Tudor being top-seller.[2] The standard three window coupe was deleted.
Deluxes had pinstriping, again twin (chromed) horns, and twin back lights.[8] Inside, they got more eloborate wood graining.
The '34 Ford V-8 is infamous as being the Bonnie and Clyde "death car". Both of the outlaws were killed in their stolen car in a May '34 ambush by law enforcement officers in Louisiana.
