The Million Dollar Question: 3W or 5W?

biased but happy

 

3 window for sure,alot more classy than any 5 window any day of the week............

 

.....& it's all about "class".

Full fendered hammered 5.
Who's keep'n score here?

 

5 window, with a heavy chop!

 

Gotta stick up for the 5w,and not cause i got one

 

I've owned both and prefer the 5w.

 

I'll take the five glass coupe please, and without fenders. Sounds like something I'd say to a bar tender.

 

I'm going to go with a 5 window and convert it to a suicide door with a slight chop and a highboy style with big ol' HEMI.

 

No need to strain...3 window coupe hands down!

 

5 Window for sure, and I am bias.

 

nothing looks like a chopped 3 window!!!!!

 

5W....in Southern California, where fiberglass cars are everywhere, the 3W is grossly overplayed, almost cliche'.
I love the 3W, but, from a distance at 70MPH, a 5W sure at least looks like the real Henry steel-deal.
Now, when I see a 3W, my brain automatically thinks "FIBERGLASS"...sad, but true. Saddest part of all? My brain is usually right.
Glass 3Ws are crawling all over this place.
So....

5W

 

Three window for sure; had a complete 3 W body in 1968 but my folks gave it away to clear garage space when I was in Vietnam.

 

3 window

 

.........:

 

5W, channel, no chop, and with a hood...

 

5-window, slight chop, lowered, fully fendered, with hood.

 

Chopped full fendered 3 window!

 

I'm partial to both,but for what I'd build I'd definitely take the 3 window.

 

3 window. A 5 window looks too much like a A-Bone

 

5W all day long, but I always liked both.

 

5w but a close second would be a 3w only if it looked like 3wlarry's

 

If I wanted comfort I would get a caddy! 5 w all day long!!! No fenders, very little channel, mild chop, 331 hemi with a 6 pack of 97's!!

 

3 window for me. Now that that is settled, do I need to pick it up or will it be delivered?

 

If my choices spanned a couple different years I could give your a couple different answers. However since it's '32 only, I will say 5w for sure. The 5w's look to me way better then their counterparts. I hate the way a 3w's ass tapers so much, it looks awkward. But in '33 they got that taper deal nailed down and that's when the 3w's take off for me. 33-36, the 3w's are a much prettier design but almost always deserve to be chopped.

Anyways, yeah the 5w in '32 is the boss hoss. I have one and even though it's far from driving it's my dream car....so yeah it's staying.

 

Five, I guess. 'Cause I just don't really like suicide doors.

 

If the cars in question were to remain stock..it would be a three window..but a chopped five window is more Hot Rod (imo),...plus I hate sissy suicide doors....unchopped 5 windows always remind me of Abe Lincoln with all that headroom...

jeez, Andy ,you read my mind...

 

5 so I can make it look like this..

 

5w for sure
