1934 Ford Model 40 Tudor Sedan
The 1934 Model 40 was available in an array of configurations; Deluxe Coupe, 3 window coupe, Deluxe Roadster, Victoria, pickup, Tudor Sedan and the Fordor Sedan. More than 240,000 Tudor sedans were produced in 1934 and were priced between $530 and $580 at the time.
For consignment, a 1934 Ford Model 40 Tudor sedan showing 5,855 miles, but that true miles are unknown due to a Maryland non actual mileage status. According to our consignor, a Lincoln, Chevelle, Ford Ranger, and Impala all may have contributed parts to create this strong running build.
Exterior
With the exception of the rear fenders and lower pan, this steel bodied street rod is covered in two stage Vineyard Green paint hunkering down over yellow painted wheels with dog dish caps, 15-inch in front and 16-inch in back. Staggered size tires, including the LT rated rears, help set the stance here which is nicely planted and slightly raked. A Greyhound hood ornament leads the way of the fine metalwork of the car which is all very nice and includes the windshield reveal, cowl lights, and of course, the epic grille itself. Blue dot tail lights, new old stock according to our consignor, live on the rear fenders visually complemented by the redline tire mounted to the back. Up top, the vinyl roof is in great shape, capping the cabin and its elongated windows of nearly the same width front and rear. At a distance, the car looks flawless but our careful inspector finds some inclusions in the paint, a few chips, edgewear, some bubbles at a body bend, scratches, a tiny hole in the rocker, paint runs, and blistering.
Interior
Opening the coach style doors reveals handsome door panels dressed in khaki door panels with debossed geometric patterns and a brown insert, along with a pleated map pocket on each and they both present cleanly. Inside, khaki also covers the leather bucket seats with more looseness than tautness, reminiscent of early British sports cars while the rear bench conforms to a more formed style surrounded by monochromatic and clean walls. And speaking of British cars, the driver gets a wood rimmed banjo style steering wheel that fronts a padded and covered dashboard in brown taking in vintage gauges with vintage style gauges towards the center including an AutoMeter tachometer. You'll be pleased to find a Vintage AC unit under the dash as well. A Hurst shifter rises from the floor where tan carpet is deep pile and rides all the way up the firewall. Tan and brown also make up the finished headliner and overhead console that holds the AM/FM/CD player.
Drivetrain
Polished components and finned valve covers dress the engine, which our consignor states is a 383ci stroker V8 with a solid cam and lifters, Holley aluminum heads, roller rockers, and three 2-barrel carburetors. It's mated to a Muncie M20 from a mid-60's Impala so says our consignor, a 4-speed manual that sends power to the 10 bolt rear with 3.90 gears from a Chevelle, also per our consignor.
Undercarriage
Driver quality clean underneath with solid structure and dual exhaust that run through Turbo mufflers before exiting via chrome tips out back. Drum brakes from a 40 Lincoln are on all four wheels and suspension consists of a transverse leaf spring in front and leaf springs in back. As mentioned, air conditioning is on board and the car runs on a 12 volt system.
Drive-Ability
Just the right size, just the right height, and a comfortable interior is what we're greeted with upon entering. The V8 starts up and lets its presence known with a healthy exhaust note and we row the gears around the test loop to find a fine running Ford, straight tracking, and functions that work at 100%! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Here's a turnkey and air conditioned street rod with room for four and likely more power than the Ford guys in the 30's could have dreamed about. With some help from GM, this car runs strong and according to our consignor, stays cool both in the cabin and under the hood!
