The Million Dollar Question: 3W or 5W?

The Million Dollar Question: 3W or 5W?

Here’s the set up: Someone is going to GIVE you this car, but you have one choice: Either a 1932 genuine Henry Ford Three window coupe OR a Five window coupe. Whichever one you choose, you’ve got to keep the car for life, and you cannot have the other one as well. This will be your only ’32 coupe for the long term. It’s all steel, and it runs. You can have it chopped or not, channeled or on the rails, SBC or a Flattie, etc. What do you favor, more leg room and windows, or those cool suicide doors? I personally think a 5W looks better sitting low, mild chop with fenders (ala Jive Five), but a 3W looks better with a heavier chop, no fenders in a highboy (3W Larry). They both have their merits, and there is a strong argument for either car… But you only get one for life, so which do you get?

(You current ’32 coupe owners stay out of this.. Your already biased!)
