This is the last of my "spring madness" builds. It is the old AMT
1934 Ford 5 window coupe. I am doing it stock, no custom or rod
parts, just as it was off the show room in 1934. Here is where I am
at so far. Basically just the flat head done. Still debating the color scheme.
The stock 1934 colors were Dearborn blue, Cordoba gray or Vineyard green.
I think there was also Coach maroon and good old black.---John

I have this one in my stash so I will keep an eye on your build. The Cordova grey looks pretty tan to me but I still like it.

Yeah, I am not sure if this pic was Cordoba gray, there supposedly was
Tacoma cream? The instructions call it out but the website I went to says nothing
about that color. I am thinking Cordoba gray with Poppy red wheels. Here is that
"other" Cordoba gray?---John

Tacoma cream sounds more appropriate for this one. Either one look good but O do prefer the gray/red combo.

John for my 2 cents worth, I'd make it like the gray one with the gray wheels, wide white wall tires and a black int.  '34 Ford 5 window coupe 1817768433

Either gray looks good to me, but the blackwall tires and red wheels look a bit low class for that car.

There must be a "color chart" for authentic Ford colors on the web.  Foto is on a cloudy day and folks skin color may be a bit off.  As to showroom stock, luv the '34 for looks.  To me it's second only to the '36 for beauty.  A shame it was during the Depression when so few were bought.  Good luck!

John:  Good choice of a kit.  The color really doesn't matter as long as you are pleased with it.  I used the same kit for the 34 on my Frenchie's diorama.

For the most part is was a pretty straight forward build with the exception of the hood and grill sub-assembly that got a bit fiddly. Have fun with it.

OK.....here are the wheels,a nice dark red and the dash is nice polished wood
brown with ivory gauges. The paint scheme will be gray with red wheels and white wall
tires as seen in the photo below.

A number of car companies used gray.  Glad you're back at this one.  I remember detailing the engine on my '39-'40 sedan into the last Ford phaeton (still unfinished).
