Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Bruce, WOW that is amazing. Nothing that sweet ever shows up here in Illinois. I'm jealous! You have a very nice car there.

Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Nice looking car. I would bet you would have gone thorough a blizzard to get it if you had to.

Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Motor is free, Marvel Mystery Oil, PB blast and WD40 mix, motor turns over by rocking car in gear, Great Day in the Neighborhood!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really did drive both ways in bad weather, my black pickup looks like a sugar coated cookie. |
Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! I like it!!
|
Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Need a better set of running boards, and chrome windshield, just a driver, any photos of 34 cars are appreciated, need horns fixed and remove that big one under hood.

Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! That really looks like a beauty, old restoration? Do you know the history? tell us more.
|
Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Last owner purchased(father) in 1960 and passed away, one son inherited and drove until 82 or so, it was parked in a barn on property and then barn torn down, moved to garage, stored there until I looked at several years ago. Next son inherited from brother's estate and that is all I know.

Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Beautiful!!
|
Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Now that's a beautiful find!! I love seeing these old Fords being found and put back on the road. No restoration needed on that one. Get it mechanically sound, cleaned up cosmetically and drive it!!

Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! beautiful car....would worry about that Wolf checking out the tires and calling dibs....lol.....Mike
|
Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! 115 pounds of Wolf ( German Shepard ) he would not hurt a fly, his running mate liked to bite ( nip ) Dave on the back of leg "calf", she would go around car and sneak up on you, in dog heaven now.
|
Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Great find. Clean it up, check it out mechanically then drive the wheels off of it.

Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Removed hard radiator hoses, removed old hard as rock gas hose, took distributor loose and still cannot get out from in front of motor. Will not clear the radiator and car frame to get out, might jack engine up a little to get some space. Took battery out, it is bad and battery was rubbing the carpet and two tall (no cover), you would think they would have retro-fitted. Drained oil and anti-freeze, anti-freeze was very clean and looked good. Removed big old horn set, now I can see a body information plate, anyone that can give me breakdown on plate?, thanks Bruce

Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Bruce: This was posted by Don Rogers Re Body tag:
In 1934 most of Ford's bodys were built by Briggs, Murray or Budd Companies. Body plates were often used so the body manufacturer could keep track of the body after it was built and shipped to a Ford assembly plant. Your plate # 710 LB 7212 most likely means that the body was made by LeBaron Co.(Division of Briggs) It was model 710 (Roadster) and it was body # 7212. Bruce: 760 is the Ford model number for Cabriolet |
Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! I've never took a distributor out downwards, always done it from above.
You might need to remove the generator, or loosen the fan belt. I only use crab type now, much easier. Mart. |
Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Is that a V8 Club sticker I see on the windshield? First I'd take that as an encouraging sign regards the originality of the car, which appears amazing. Second, I wonder if the club has any records? I know when I register for meets they want the car's number. Maybe you'll find out something amazing.
We all have favorite cars that give a little blood pressure bump. Yours is doing it for me right now! One last two cents worth... I love the look of the vintage tires, but don't think I'd trust them for very long especially if they were as flat as the one on that Lincoln. -VT/Jeff |
Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! VeryTangled, tires just as flat as the Lincoln, tires took air and I loaded up, still holding air today, I am going to change old tires and rims to ones I bought last year from person in New Jersey if memory serves me. Let me know what you think they will look like on car.
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...ps58d97da1.jpg Took distributor to Don's today and we went through the distributor, will have to order, boots, plugs for distributor body, and send coil off to Skip to rebuild. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...ps506804a0.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...psc0599a7f.jpg No better help than Don, thanks everyone |
Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Nice score! I'm anxious to see it at a local event this summer.

Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! Found the hood ornament in glove box this afternoon, wrapped in old tee shirt,
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...ps338dd859.jpg Was taking photo of wood grain on the inside of glove box door, need information on parts of interior that were wood grained, any information would be appreciated, Bruce http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...ps50b1d9a1.jpg |

Nice car!!!!!! Interesting to see the difference in tags . The tag on top in the first pic is from my 33 cabriolet and the one below is a repop . Second pic is yours and it looks like you ALMOST had # 10,000 ! The 33 cab one is the only " narrow " one I have . My 34 roadster & 34 cabriolet have the " wide " type like yours . Never really looked into this but I would imagine someone out there has info on this difference . On the woodgrain thing your dash , glovebox lid , ashtray cover , door top trim , windshield post trim and the trim piece across the header get woodgrained .

Re: Yes, they are still out there!!! This 34 grill was still in a bad box, filled with mice nest, never on a car, but rusted due to storage in the garage with car, who would you recommend to attempt to do re - chrome. Any ideas let me know, thanks Bruce
