Description
This 1934 Ford Sedan Deluxe Package celebrates the dawn of Ford's famous flathead V8 with a car that celebrates the best vintage fantasies. From the texture of the pinstripes to the feel of the seats, this is all about unleashing the emotion of a time capsule on wheels.
It's hard not to think about a 1934 Ford 40B without thinking about Bonnie and Clyde. We just know you've been imagining putting on a three-piece pinstripe suit, opening the front suicide door, and posing on the fender for an old-style picture just like the classic outlaw pair. This classic desire is not just because those fugitives made their stand in a Ford like this, but also this particular one has that kind of authentic feel. In fact, it was specifically painted as part of a father-son project to recreate the color theme of the father's first car. The glossy black has a worn-in feel that you expect from a car of this era, and against it is a detailed yellow package where the wire wheels, pinstripe, and hood louver accents all coordinate. There are nice details, like the bright chrome bumper with a dip in the middle to show off the waterfall grille. As a Deluxe package, there are some nice extras like dual horns, dual taillights, and the optional premium greyhound hood ornament leading the way.
The cloth interior has the ideal classic feel. They replaced it to erase decades of use, but the striped pattern on the seats and doors feels absolutely authentic. Even the pleats in both rows add to this great vintage look. Classic motoring means a large grippy steering wheel and a big, clear speedometer. No one has tried to ruin this time machine with aftermarket parts like air conditioning. Instead, it's a time warp, right down to the need for extra ash trays as a premium feature.
The logos on the grille and hubcaps let you know to expect Ford's famous 221 cubic-inch flathead V8 under the hood. This is the motor that Clyde Barrow liked so much that he wrote Henry Ford a thank you letter. And he wasn't the only fan. You can see from this condition that this V8 has been treated with care, and the way it runs strong reaffirms this feeling. The powerplant is mated to a three-speed manual transmission that's geared for good in-town driving. It all proves this '34 sedan is not a trailer queen... this old gal is a true classic driver.
Bonnie and Clyde will always be a fun reference with a 1934 Ford 40B sedan, but this example is so much more. It is the solid classic driver that lets you create your own legends. Call now!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
