1934 Ford Model 40 Coupe

The new-for-1932 flat-head V-8 engine received significant public praise and interest for its reliability and performance modifications. The notorious bank robber John Dillinger even wrote Henry Ford praising him for the engine.

For 1934, Ford added a few cosmetic changes with retaining many of the physical features of the 1933 model.

The DeLuxe three-window coupe featured flowing lines and short two-person cabin. The DeLuxe models were easily distinguishable from the standard models, as they had two taillights, pinstriping, cowl lights, and twin horns.

This 1934 Ford Three-Window Coupe is equipped with a 1936 'LB' stamped V-8 with dual carburetors. This specific engines features an upgraded center intake and aluminum heads by noted hot rod specialist Eddie Meyer. The engine is mated to a 1939 three-speed transmission that has been modified with Lincoln gears. The car also features a Colombia two-speed rear axle.

The car is finished black with red pinstirping, and the wheels are wrapped in whitewall tires. This Three-Window Coupe is equipped with 17-inch wheels, a roll-down rear window, mechanical brakes, a rumble seat, and dual gauges that display both fuel gauges and amps, as well as oil pressure and temperature readings. Additional accessories include dual exhausts, bumper guards, dual windshield wipers, and a chrome greyhound hood ornament.
