1934 Ford 3 Window Coupe

Shown by appointment only... 1934 FORD Three-Window Coupe ”Sharp Dressed Rod” Joe Sahli owned a cabriolet for years, but the three-window was the one he always wanted — and in 2006 he finally got it. Found complete in Nebraska and brought to Hot Rods by Dean in Phoenix, it emerged with a stroked 383, a 3-inch chopped top, and a gray-green finish that reads understated right up until you’re standing next to it.
