Love the looks of a '34 roadster, ut perhaps looking for something a little more weather-friendly? How about this butch-looking 1934 cabriolet, hich has the same awesome open-air vibe as the roadster, ut with the protection of a folding top, oll-up windows, nd windshield wipers that actually work.There's nothing subtle about this slick satin black rod, ut that's entirely the point. Sure, he body is fiberglass, ut the look is timeless, nd everywhere you go, olks recognize the appeal of the 1934 Ford. From the pointed radiator shell and sweeping fenders to the raked-back windshield and smoothly tapered rear deck, here's something here that will appeal to everyone, nd the fact that it's totally functional as a real car is something that most rods attempt, ut not all achieve. Workmanship is quite good, nd with fiberglass, t's easy to get great gaps and a solid feel, nd with that satin black paint job, he shape simply speaks for itself. It features stock-style suicide doors with chrome handles, custom grille insert in the pointed grille shell, nd 1939 Ford taillights that have been smoothly integrated into the rear fenders. Red pinstripes add a classic old-school vibe with details on the hood louvers and in back, nd they're matched by the red stripe in the stock-style chrome bumpers.Red cloth upholstery ties in with the bodywork, nd offers more comfort in an open car than sticky vinyl or sweaty leather might. The stitching has a traditional look with pleats on the seats and simple door panels with billet hardware, nd twin buckets make it easy for everyone to get comfortable. Old-school gauges from Ford Motorsport highlight the smooth dash, hich roughly approximates the shape of the original 1934 design. With a tilt column and wood-rimmed wheel, t has a great look that's a bit upscale, hich is right where the cabriolet was positioned when it was new. Lokar supplied the shifter, nd if you want entertainment, t's all controlled by you right foot. Weather protection is provided by a snug-fitting white top with a decent-sized rear window (no blind spots!) and the trunk is neatly finished and perfect for, ay, he Hot Rod Power Tour.But this rod is no poser. The engine is a freshly built 302-inch V8 bored .030 oversize fitted with all kinds of upgrades. A Cobra dress-up kit should look familiar to anyone who has ever driven a hi-po Ford before and it's entirely appropriate here. Ford Blue on the block looks great against the satin black bodywork and the overall look is serious and functional rather than over-done. Block-hugging headers dump into a custom-built dual exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflers, o this sucker really cackles. The suspension is a Mustang II setup in front with power rack-and-pinion steering and disc brakes, hile an 8.8-inch out back hangs on a Mustang trailing arm setup. There's also a 3-speed automatic transmission in the middle. It nails the perfect stance with painted steel wheels wearing skinny 205/70/14 front and fat 255/70/15 rear whitewall radials.Go ahead and enjoy the open road, his '34 Ford has you covered; it's ready to rock or to be taken to the next level.
