I sure don't get tired of looking at THIS photo! Neat, neat car! It definitely has 'the look' what a stance. And with blackwalls and black rims, they really set the car off.

A guy over in Geneseo has a bone stock original '34 five window coupe that he bought from the original owner. I love seeing that car!!I look for it first thing when I am over there at their annual car show!

These old Fords are not just antique cars they are works of art

Excellent post!
Style-wise, it's eye of the beholder one can safely say.

Personally, whether 3w or 5w, the '33 is it! . . . . . . . . with its 'shovel' 36-bar grill, the 36 bars hide the radiator core.

The '33 hood side vents are slanted with extremely-slight ‘S’-slants on an angle, the

‘S’-slants thus share the overall body-fenders low-look and designed gracefulness as opposed to the '34 straight slants, but the general public were 'clueless' and hadn’t a thought about it, really, although those ‘in the know’ would've noticed these vents at first glance.

I gotta say, though, the '34 chrome grill surround being more substantial, particularly across the top, has it over the '33 wimpy surround.

The '33 interior machined dash-gauges cluster is a prize to the eyes, as opposed to the '34's eh . . . let's-just-paint-it-and-get-it-outta-here decision.

Just a couple/few comments. Thank you!

P.S. '33 hubcaps have it over the '34s in design, as well as the 1 5/8"+ - longer '33 headlight! Oh, and ; the '33 V8 grill emblem; can't argue, everyone would much rather have that on their '34 grille.

Pat Malone here, Mr. Tubman! Your term 'saggy' is an 'indifferent' description.

I suspect if you averaged out all the sale prices of the two model years they're going to be pretty close to the same.

The 34 grille, louvers on the side of the hood, and stanchions for the windshield on a Roadster and Phaeton are all at a 33-degree angle. That gives it symmetry for my eyes.

I just count myself lucky to have been able to acquire just one of them. My 33 is a 5W.
