From early on they were popular with Hot Rodders and Custom car builders. A second body was/is often used for roof pieces when chopping. They were also popular in dirt track and drag racing. I prefer the looks of the 5w, but most prefer the 3w.

Production numbers I have seen:

1933 3w 23,619 vs 5w 44,184
1934 3w 28,457 vs 5w 76,528

So about twice the number of 5w in 1933 and almost three times as many in 1934.

Update: Well, that was stupid, I have 33/34s on the brain!!!
