JD in CA Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Before it was a classic car, this solid 1934 Ford Deluxe Three Window Coupe was the family car. Driven and well taken care of throughout its life. Through its history and restoration, it has emerged as a premiere collectible Early Ford V8. History Rarely these old Fords come with any of its past. This time, we have great information and documentation on the coupe. The first owner we know of was Wilbur Langham of Antwerp, Ohio who owned a body shop. In the late ‘60’s, the coupe was sold to Kenneth Casey. In 1997, Wilbur’s daughter Suzanne bought the car back, as she wanted to add to memories of the car from her High School and college days, when she drove it often. Note the photo of her with the coupe in October of 1964. In 2000, she gave it to Mike Belmont, of Belmont Super Service, a restoration shop established in 1933. You can see the restoration in the attached photos, and she kept it until 2011. Since then, two more owners, and now to me. The Restoration The Belmont crew took the excellent body off the frame and did a full professional restoration. Photos show just how great the original sheet metal is, before and after. All detailed steps were taken to produce an outstanding car, that not only looks fantastic but is also mechanically sound and drives great. Is it Stock or Hot Rodded? Keeping its fully stock appearance is a great first step to make the most of the coupe, and by adding the features below, it can easily be mildly hot rodded, and/or put back to stock: • Hydraulic brakes • Dual Exhaust • 12 Volt electric • Seat belts • Turn signals • 16” rims • 24 stud Fathead V8 • Discretely mounted Modern Temp and Oil Pressure gauges • Push button start Exterior • The Coach Maroon is done with lacquer and is in fantastic shape with correct pin striping • Chrome is bright, original grille, headlights, cowl lights, handles, and horns • Excellent doors, hood, trunk all fit properly, greyhound hood ornament, tires with full tread and trim rings Mechanics • Reliable, super running 24 stud flathead is smooth and strong, the car starts instantly and really moves along with the 3:54 highway gears in the rear end • Transmission is solid, doesn’t pop out of gear • Electric fuel pump with On/Off switch for priming • All the lights and electrical work, horns, speedo, amp meter, yes the vacuum wiper works. • steering box filled with John Deere corn head grease for smoother operation • Just put in a new battery this week Interior • Correct LeBaron Bonney mohair interior is very clean and comfortable, along with the just completed, correct walnut burl wood graining, 1937 Deluxe steering wheel, ash tray radio head, cigar lighter and original working gauges, wired utility light in the trunk Other Items • The coupe is titled, registered and insured in my name • License plate in the photos not included.
