Ford Three Window Coupe Hot Rods Gallery...seven builds for your perusal...

[tim boyd]

As you know, the Three Window Coupe was a relatively short-lived bodystyle in that early automotive industry...Ford offered it only for the 1932-1936 model years

More highly styled (and not surprisingly, somewhat less accommodating) than the more common Five Window Coupe, the Three Window Coupe might be viewed as the 1930's decade answer to the "Personal Luxury" segment (Olds Cutlass Supreme et al) of the late 1960's to 2000's.

They also make for really cool street rods and hot rods. Below is a preview of all the seven projects in this album; there are multiple additional views of each model with detailed explanations, including detail shots, at this link. 

Hope you enjoy these building ideas from my collection, some dating back to over thirty years ago; two others completed just recently.  Maybe these, along with the many great hot rod model projects posted here by other members of this Forum, will inspire an idea or two for your list of future building projects.

Thanks for looking......TIM

[Jon Cole]

All nice work!

[carrucha]

Cool set of coupes.

Nice work Tim. 

Ford did build 2 Model A 3 windows.  I have seen the Factory Photo of one of them. 

[Red318]

Nice builds, I really like 3 windows, especially the 34.  Until I read your post I hadn't realised how limited production was.

[Hmann68]

Beautiful stuff, and I really dig your yellow coupe. Thanks for all your tips and articles over the years, it’s been very helpful!

Those look great Tim , did you ever do a build up article on the pale green 32 ?

[ChrisR]

They all look great!

Reminds me of one of my favorite songs by the Rip Chords —-

 

[Scalper]

nice collection.. all very well done. thanks for sharing 

[Phildaupho]

Thanks Ray for posting the Rip Cords song which I do not recall from back in the day and the video was very cool. I was just looking at Scale Auto Enthusiast December 1996 which was a special '32 Ford issue that featured Tim's yellow 3-W on the cover.

My fav is the green one

I read the words "Three window coupe" and was transported to my childhood. My mom wanted a '34 three window (her birth year) and my parents looked high and low for an un-molested one (they weren't hot rod people). The ended up with a '35 Sedan... missed on both counts but she was happy. It was sold in unfinished condition after my dad passed.  Anyway, thanks for a phrase I hadn't thought about in years.  And very nice coupes

Robert.....thanks for asking.  I finished the model about a year ago, and submitted a how to story to one of the magazines shortly thereafter.   No commitment on their part to actually run it, though, at least at this point.  If they choose not to use it, I'll self-publish at my Fotki site...along with the 20 stories or so already posted there.    

Best.....TIM

All.....thanks for the feedback and comments.  Cheers...….TB

Oh God yes! While the five window coupes have their place....I have a soft spot for a nice three window hot rod. After I got out of High School, I had this Hemi urged chopped and channeled '34..bought it from a guy who built it and drag raced it too.
