Run Day - Friday December 6, 2024
The 1934 Ford roadster was sold as a Standard or Deluxe model. Both were beautiful cars, but the Deluxe 'option' added one color paint (body and fenders), chrome exterior accents, interior wood accents and additional lights. This 1934 Ford Roadster, believed to be a Deluxe, comes with a pedigree - it is from the collection of the late Ford restoration specialist Dennis Carpenter here in North Carolina. The Ford was the beneficiary of a full restoration by the Carpenter team. The beautiful body was carefully prepped and a fresh coat of Ford Cordoba Gray (Tan) was professionally applied. Chrome is outstanding with accents that include front/rear bumpers, classic hood ornament and dual fog lights/horns. Other features include suicide doors, rear fender skirts encased continental tire, folding luggage rack and a nice tan convertible top. The classic windshield w/chrome frame mounts a single vacuum driven wiper. Factory 17” red wire wheels with 'V8' center caps mount Firestone wide-white bias ply tires and complete the exterior package. The passenger compartment, beautifully reupholstered in handsome tufted brown leather, looks better than new. A walnut dash holds working gauges behind a classic spoke wheel. The rumble seat area is also outstanding with new brown leather upholstery. The owner states that this Ford is powered by a 221ci flathead V-8 that is period-correct and totally rebuilt. Output for these motors was rated at 85 hp. It runs as smooth as silk and is backed by a 3-speed manual transmission with factory floor mounted shifter. The fully restored chassis mounts a transverse leaf-spring suspension. Mechanical drum brakes handle stopping requirements and the 6-volt electrical system performs very well. This pristine '34 Ford Deluxe roadster can certainly be the centerpiece of your Blue Oval garage!
