I sure don't get tired of looking at THIS photo! Neat, neat car! It definitely has 'the look' what a stance. And with blackwalls and black rims, they really set the car off.
A guy over in Geneseo has a bone stock original '34 five window coupe that he bought from the original owner. I love seeing that car!!I look for it first thing when I am over there at their annual car show!
These old Fords are not just antique cars they are works of art

Excellent post!
Style-wise, it's eye of the beholder one can safely say.
Personally, whether 3w or 5w, the '33 is it! . . . . . . . . with its 'shovel' 36-bar grill, the 36 bars hide the radiator core.
The '33 hood side vents are slanted with extremely-slight ‘S’-slants on an angle, the
‘S’-slants thus share the overall body-fenders low-look and designed gracefulness as opposed to the '34 straight slants, but the general public were 'clueless' and hadn’t a thought about it, really, although those ‘in the know’ would've noticed these vents at first glance.
I gotta say, though, the '34 chrome grill surround being more substantial, particularly across the top, has it over the '33 wimpy surround.
The '33 interior machined dash-gauges cluster is a prize to the eyes, as opposed to the '34's eh . . . let's-just-paint-it-and-get-it-outta-here decision.
Just a couple/few comments. Thank you!

P.S. '33 hubcaps have it over the '34s in design, as well as the 1 5/8"+ - longer '33 headlight! Oh, and ; the '33 V8 grill emblem; can't argue, everyone would much rather have that on their '34 grille.

Pat Malone here, Mr. Tubman! Your term 'saggy' is an 'indifferent' description.
