"34 Tudor Deluxe list price
 

My brother and I got into a discussion recently about a new car our father bought years ago. It was a 1934 Tudor Deluxe. I have a figue in mind that I seem to remember that he said he paid for it but that was probably fifty years ago. What would one of them have sold for then?

Somewhere near the $610 range. DD

Fifty years ago, as opposed to eighty-years ago when it was a new car, likely not much more than $500 assuming that it was in decent condition.

WELL, Sans a year earlier and two extra doors & a Standard (not deluxe)!!! MORE so, proof of spot on information!!! NOT that proof was needed!!!

I guess I did not make myself clear. Dad was buying a new '34 Tudor in 1934. The reference to fifty years ago was when he told me what he paid for it. Sorry for the confusion! I think DD picked up on it right off the bat though.

If I can trust my fifty-plus year old memory of that conversation, I seem to remember him saying he paid $550 for the car, new from a Ford dealer somewhere in Iowa.

The Great Depression was on, and money was very tight, from what I learned.

Your dad was one of the more fortunate people, to afford a new car at any price.

From a Google search.


Ford's flathead V8 produced 85 horsepower from 221 cu in. of displacement. This model was equipped with a 3-speed transmission and a single downdraft carburetor, and it weighed a feather-light 2,461 pounds. It sold for $575 when new in 1934 — or almost $11,000 today when adjusted for inflation.Aug 13, 2018


I just saw an invoice for a '32 3W when sold new in July 1932 in Calif. $762.
