FORD 1934 V8 ROADSTER COPYRIGHT 2012 BY Eric Audibert and Alain Bouchet ( Nationale7 ) The 1934 Ford DeLuxe Roadster was welcomed with much publicity and fanfare in the midst of the Depression. On Dec. 3, 1933, the Ford family hosted newsmen at a Dearborn preview of the nicely updated Model 40 Ford DeLuxe Roadster for 1934."Changes in the appearance of the attractive car include new hood, radiator and grille lines, a new instrument panel, and luxurious new upholstery treatment," Automotive Industries reported. "The curve in the grille has been eliminated and there is a new ornament surrounding the radiator cap. Hubcaps and the spare tire-lock cover are also new, as is the V-8 insignia on the grille."For 1934, Ford added a touch of Lincoln-style class with a beautifully cast radiator cap in the image of a running greyhound. And for the first time, body-color fenders were offered at no extra charge. The Detroit Lubricator carburetor was replaced by a better-engineered Stromberg dual-downdraft type. This yielded 10 extra horses, bringing the rating of the flathead V-8 to 85 bhp. Prices ranged from $505 for the two-passenger coupe to $660 for the woody station wagon. The DeLuxe two- to four-passenger roadster, complete with rumble seat, listed at a modest $525. With all the good press and the company's renewed interest in promotion, sales of the dandy 1934s began to take off. Among the new model's earliest champions were police officials who used its explosive speed to chase crooks...and crooks who stole new Fords to outrun the law. Infamous bank robber Clyde Barrow was one unabashed admirer who took time from his criminal pursuits to praise V-8 virtues in a letter sent to a surprised Henry Ford. It said, in part: "I have drove [sic] Fords exclusively when I could get away with one. For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got ever [sic] other car skinned and even if my business hasen't [sic] been strictly legal it don't hurt enything [sic] to tell you what a fine car you got in the Ford V-8."
