Details

This custom 1934 Ford Roadster is powered by a replacement 1950 Mercury Flathead V8 engine fitted with Offenhauser high-performance heads and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, an upgrade from the standard single-barrel Stromberg carburetor. This engine is backed by a 1939 Ford 3-speed manual transmission. The Fenton powder-coated exhaust system delivers the Flathead V8 noise and a 12-volt conversion enhances reliability. Noteworthy additions include new brakes, fresh whitewall tires and a concealed ignition cutoff. The exterior is finished in a two-tone red with black fenders and running boards. Complementing the period-correct aesthetics are a tan convertible top and powder-coated Ford wire wheels. The paint and bodywork included multiple applications of DuPont paint and the addition of Blue Dot taillights. Inside, the car boasts a Chocolate Brown vinyl finish on the seats and doors, paired with a durable, tightly woven brown interior carpet. The front bench seat now features seat belts for enhanced safety, while under the folding convertible top a rear rumble seat accommodates two additional passengers. A distinguishing feature of this 1934 Ford is a color-matched dashboard, evident in the red dash of this roadster, which is upgraded with modern gauges.
