1934 Ford Model A

1934 Ford 40 Deluxe Coupe In 1891, Henry Ford joined Edison Illuminating Company and got promoted as a Chief Engineer in 1893. At this time, he had enough money and time to pursue his curiosity and talent and started working on gasoline engines. His dream of building a gasoline engine became a reality by the end of 1893, fifteen years after he built his first steam engine. In 1896 he completed his work on his first horseless carriage, called the Quadricycle. He sold this vehicle to support the development of his second vehicle. In 1896, Ford had a meeting with Thomas Edison, where Edison approved of his automobile experimentation, and the rest as they say is history. For consignment a fiberglass version of a hot rodded 1934 Ford 40 Deluxe 3 window coupe showing a title verified 29,430 actual miles on the odometer. A custom interior with modern conveniences, and a snappy 350ci V8 under the hood will provide years of carefree enjoyment in a car that is nearly 88 years old, or at least it appears as one.  Exterior Nicely crafted molded fiberglass curved lines are presented throughout this car uniformly painted in the best named paint, Oh So Sexy Orange. Darker orange flames start just behind the puzzle shaped grille shell and lick their way rearward, while others flicker over the front fenders. This 3 window coupe has been chopped and shaved and has heavily louvered engine covers while a shield shaped grille with vertical ribs curves downward to join gull wing shaped fenders. These join with running boards on either side and then into the rear fenders which go with the flow of the trunk and back of this rodder where LED slit style lights line the bottom. Shiny 16 and 17-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels carry staggered size tires. Finally, Ford is imprinted in ghost like paint on the rear decklid and we could not find any exterior imperfections on this beauty.  Interior Flame embossed tan leather covers the inside of the suicide doors and not only present well, but match the print on the bucket seats, complete with an orange base and orange seat belts. Up front, a Lecarra steering wheel wears a tan leather rim ahead of the body colored dash with cream colored Classic Instruments gauges arranged symmetrically at the base of the steering column. Naturally, an orange skull serves as the shifter handle, rising from the floor where a console includes a cupholder, radio controller for the AM/FM/CD unit, and brushed aluminum colored switches. We've got saddle carpet below and a tan headliner above with some saggy spots, while a backup camera screen is mounted on the windshield header. The trunk is show ready, with more flame embossed leather and saddle carpet in a fully finished presentation.   Drivetrain An orange block, orange flames on the valve covers, and orange wires dress up the engine along with a plethora of polished parts. Here we have a 350ciV8 with Edelbrock intake and 4-barrel carburetor on top and mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission routing power to a Ford 9 in back. Headers begin the exhaust process and the car has power steering and runs on a 12 volt system.  Undercarriage Clean as could be underneath! Here we have dual exhaust rocking FlowMaster mufflers and exiting through chrome tips, brakes employed as front disc and rear drum, and suspension that includes a Mustang II front and leaf springs in back.   Drive-Ability Comfortable, compact, and cozy, the cabin is built for two and you'll be shoulder to shoulder the whole ride, so you better like the person next to you. Seriously though, a very nice interior from which we crank the V8 to life and roll this beauty onto the test loop where power is on tap, tracking is straight, and handling is superb. As a bonus to top off this orange dream, all functions work as intended! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be workin
