Ace-Garageguy Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The three-window was always the first choice for closed '32s. It just has a lighter, sportier feel to me, and the suicide doors on the 3W foretold the design of the '33-'34....though I like them all.As to which is my favorite...again, it really depends on the specific car. Some versions of each look perfect, some are ill-proportioned messes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I like the three window. There is one that cruises my downtown, I've been trying to get a picture of,...maybe this spring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 On a '32, I like the 3 window.... but on a '30-'31.... I'll take a 5 window all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Like most others here (so far), I too prefer the 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69NovaYenko Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 When I think `32 Ford hot rod I envision a 3 window.... but I do like the 5 window as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I like them both equally, so I'm a no vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I prefer the 5-window style. The 3-window greenhouse looks too short and oddly proportioned to my eyes. Plus, the 5-window gives you those rear side windows that you can load up with all those cool little speed decals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 In a Hot Rod sense it really depends if you are talking East or West Coast Hot Rods. For the most part the ultimate West Coast Hot Rod is the Three Window. East Coast Rodders seemed to prefer the Five Window in a heavily channeled version. In more recent times an original Three Window prices have reached unobtanium for the average Rodder, the Five Window has been the somewhat more affordable version on both coasts. With reproduction bodies of both Deuce Coupes being produced again it evens it back out to taste again.my answer would be; Depends on the look you're aiming at for a Hot Rod, for Restoration pretty much the same depends on what version you find more appealing. For me personally I prefer the Three Window by a lot, Five Window looks too much like a Model A to be a Deuce, (even though it is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
