On the Early V8 site a very nive '40 Mercury 4 door convertible is for sale and I think he is looking for 50 large or better.Very nice car but it just got me to thinking how far down the list it would be if every Ford I want was exactly what I had to spend. My top ten list would be: '32 Roadster B or V8. '32 5 window B or V8. '46 Sportsman. '39 ford convertible coupe. '37 woody wagon.'46 Ford woody wagon.'31 Model A deluxe Phaeton(tudor) '30 or '31 Roadster pickup. '33 or '34 roadster. '37 roadster or cabriolet. Anybody else got a top ten? I could easily make out a top 25 and I don't think a 4 door convertible would be on it. I also love '53- '56 Ford F-100 and am trying to buy back a '53 I sold over 25 years ago that has not moved from when I drove it into buyers garage.
 
38 standard coupe 85hp. But it has to be black. Have had my fingers on just about everything else.

But they really dont fall into the big $$$ issue. Just finding a nice one is .ore of the problem
 
As a non-customize street rod type, the bad-*** looks factor determines the priority. In order:
1 - '34 five window coupe
2 - '40 Super Deluxe coupe
3 - '32 five window coupe
4 - '37 Tudor slant back
5 - '41 Super Deluxe business coupe (early model year, without the extraneous chrome)

To achieve maximum bad-***, it must be black and sit with a 2 - 3" rake.
 
I had wanted a '36 3-window since I was in high school. I finally found one and finished it they way I wanted. Be careful of what you wish for. I found the car to be very cramped and sold it after about 8 years "Wishin' and Hopin'"

My dream car is a 32 3 or 5 window coupe. Has to have a Flathead or Hemi, manual trans, Quick Change rear. Not a perfectly fitted street rod but a driver. I WISH!
 
'34....All body styles....Except, I would reject any 'Ragtop'....

And, NEVER a '38 Deluxe or a '39 Standard! - These two models were born in Hell with a gasoline can tied to their bumpers. '38 Standard and '39 Deluxe are just fine....

37 cabriolet, with stock engine or 59AB. Excellent comfort riding, east of repair, plentiful parts and a excellent handling vehicle.
 
I could never say a particular year or style Ford - it would have to be a car that speaks to me. I have all ready been very fortunate to own a really nice 40, my avatar, I have a 40 pickup for the wife coming together, a 32 5-window I have a build thread on the HAMB of, and then there is a 28 pickup I will put together just because.

However, if I HAD to choose, of course it would be something I have not owned and that would be a 36 cabriolet or 3-window. The art Deco styled look of the car is just a one of a kind look. Of course a LaSalle grille would be nice along with an Ardun under the hood but now I'm really pushing it!

>>>any 34 ford except a convertible>>>

Geez. OK, I take a 34 convertible. And a 33 convertible would be good too. Plus a 33-36 Willys convertible while I got the money. Jack E/NJ
