Original Henry Ford Steel · Arizona Street Rods Build

1934 FORD

Deluxe Cabriolet

One of roughly 7,852 built in 1934 — and one of the finest. Found complete after 40-plus years in storage in small-town Minnesota, this numbers-matching Henry-steel Cabriolet was brought back with no expense spared: Heidts independent suspension with every component chromed, a Ramjet-injected 350, and a hand-rubbed PPG Avon Blue finish. Two Top 100 honors later, it's ready for its next garage.

The Story

From a Minnesota Barn to a Top 100 Pick

1934

Built by Ford

One of approximately 7,852 Deluxe Cabriolets produced that year — already a rare car the day it left the factory.

40+ Years

Stored, Not Scrapped

Owned for four decades by one family in a small Minnesota town, then parked and preserved rather than parted out — complete, original, and still wearing its factory flathead V8.

Discovery

Found Complete

Purchased by the last owner directly from the 40-year owner, then shipped to North Dakota before making its way to Arizona Street Rods.

2005

Build Completed

A no-expense-spared, ground-up build by Arizona Street Rods — Heidts suspension, a Ramjet-injected 350, and a hand-rubbed Avon Blue finish over the original Henry steel body.

2007

Boyd Coddington Top 100

Selected as a Top 100 pick at the Good Guys show — recognition from one of the most respected names in the street rod world.

2008

Street Rodder Top 100

A second Top 100 honor, this time from Street Rodder magazine, cementing its reputation as a benchmark build.

Today

7,450 Miles Since Completion

Still show-quality, still road-ready, and still turning heads — a build this thorough is nearly impossible to duplicate at today's prices.

Built to be driven.

7,450 miles since its 2005 completion — this car has been used exactly as intended, and still shows like it rolled out of Arizona Street Rods yesterday.
