1934 Ford Luxus Custom news, pictures, and information

2-Door Cabriolet
Coachwork: Deutsch of Koln
 
This car was personally ordered by Mr. Edsel Ford, President of Ford Motor Co., in June of 1934 for his own personal use. It was garaged at Edsel's estate in Grosse Point Shores, Michigan.

The custom 'one-off' body was built by the coachbuilder of Cologne, Germany. It was shipped to America in August of 1934 and was mated to a standard 1934 chassis.

This was Edsel's 'concept car' and the precursor to the legendary Lincoln Continental that was to arrive a few years later. It is one of only two known Edsel Ford-owned cars surviving today.
