greg g Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Nice ride. Always liked the roof line and windows on those coupes. Welcome. If it were mine, I would dress up those artillery wheels. New paint and polished trim rings and hubcaps would set the car off. Look on line for some typical wheel pinstripe patterns used in the 30s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithb7 Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) Welcome. You found a great spot here for flathead era Mopars. Your '34 Dodge is wonderful. I too like it as is. A very classy car design. The long nose and the rear cab. By the next year the style was gone. Followed by long curving lines. 1935 Dodge Coupe: Edited September 2, 2022 by keithb7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 I thought the 35 had excellent styling cues....enough carry over from the prior year with a modest touch of things to come. Those rims really look right at home....some things were not really ADVANCES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '25 wagon is in excellent shape and looks to have a body made by Cantrell, who also made the same style body for the 1925 Ford Model T. I found a picture of what I believe to be the same vehicle (I colorized it to bring out the details) and although it was a very open design, it did come with side curtains to button it up against inclement weather. Great finds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veemoney Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 The Woodie shown wheels sunk from years of sitting and then cleaned up is great. My favorite is the 34 rumble seat coupe and I would love to see more pictures. I own a 34 PE and in comparison, the Dodge hood appears longer which may just be the lack of the louvered doors on the hood for air flow while the headlight buckets being stretched longer than those on the PE make it look faster just sitting still. Both of these slight differences really complement the Dodge just adding to those classic lines of these siblings. Does this car have a functioning roll down rear window and intact rumble seat as well? Welcome and thanks for posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyd Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Porsche68........welcome aboard..........thats one nice 34 Dodge.......I have the original radiator cap/mascot from a 34 Dodge sedan my grandfather had here in Oz after WW2, unfortunately it had corroded where the actual cap attaches so ended up being just a shelf exhibit for years till he gave it to me in the early 70's when I obtained my still owned 1940 Dodge.......anyway you have a very nice car there.........I understand the patina thing but its such a nice car that it would appreciate, lol, a nice suitable paint touch up in a few places.........lol..........but either way its just nice to see it being used and on the road...........again, Welcome from Oz........Andy Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Welcome! Nice '34. I like the original patina. I also like Mr. Chrysler's prewar styling with the long hood. To echo Marc's query, do you know the story on that green building? Looks similar to a prefab gas station I saw in a salvage yard in NM many years ago.

Porsche 68 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Marc Desoto it’s an old Texaco gas station it’s up the street from my house still lots of stuff inside a friend of mine has the gas pumps and grease rack It’s amazing the car has been incredibly reliable I get in start it up and drive it anywhere over 200 miles on it so far going to our local car show to night John IMG_0564.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan G Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 That '34 is an absolute head-turner! Very unique. A million thanks for resurrecting that flathead rather than ripping this cars heart out. This rig is going to put a whole lot of smiles on a whole lot of faces.
