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

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.

Awesome Dodges! 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!

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

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

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.

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.
