33-34 woodgrain difference
 

I have an original 33 2door with 66k miles. My 33 roadster's woodgrain was done by Benney Estes (Sarasota Fl ) I meet him at the Harrah swapmeet around 1975? I have been a woodgrainer since 1965 and was interested in the original method woodgrain. So I flew out to Sarsota and stayed with him and learned the way FORD and others did woodgraing. I brought with me my 33 victoria dash and window frames my extra 33 roadster dash and lots of extra parts. I was interested in a dealer ship but the price at the time was more than my house cost so no sale. I have always had trouble with the 32 33 34 woodgrain pattern. as most woodgrainers back then did. I have been able to get close . the 34 4 door is a sample of my work.

An interesting note : 33 &34 ash trays are different than dashboards . see sample's . I have many more samples and will post them in the future.
