    To flip: 3 window. To keep: 5 window.
     
  5. Had both, love both .
     
  6. I think it is the same car that stuck in my mind too. If it looked like this one, this is the 3 window built by Dick Rodwell in the 70's.

    Well i would be happy with 3 or 5 window [nothing beats FREE] .For resale 3 window but since i must keep it for life [5 window] .As you get older you need all the windows to see out of. Having a stock Deluxe Phaeton it SUCKS even without windows .Just 1 small mirror on the drivers side. Put the side curtains on and you feel like your driving a sub and not a tub. I just don't understand the idea of that chopped down look????

    I've got to admit, it's a 5-window for me ,in both 32, and 34. Not that I wouldn't take 3 w. if the opportunity presented itself . Also, a tudor before a 3 window. There, I said it.

    The only hot rod I've lusted after since I was 9 years old is a '32 5w. I bought one in 1973 and it's been sitting since waiting to be built into my vision. I've got a 1967 435 hp 427 Chevy engine,(three 2bbl Holley carbs on a high rise manifold (one year only) and polished aluminum heads, a polished Franklin Quick change, 4 new Halibrand wheels, Doug Nash 5 spd trans and a dash full of origonal curved glass SW gauges. I'm planning on a Kenny Baker 2" chop. I also have a chromed 4" dropped axle w/polished Buick brakes, reversed eye spring and a dropped chromed headlight bar with Deitz headlights. It will be full fendered with the rear fenders shortened about 4" And it will have stock bumpers with shortened mounting brackets to pull the bumpers closer to the body. It already has '47 chevy tail lights and they will stay.
    Just turned 67 yesterday............time is getting short if I ever expect to ride in this one.

    Whichever one is right so I can get the million dollars and go buy lots of hot rods.

    3W, gotta love the suicide doors. Plus unless it's a Tbird with porthole windows, I really don't like a 2/3 seater with extra windows. Now the oposite goes for those 66 Tbirds without the extra windows.
     
  22. I like 3 window 40's and 5 window pickups...LMAO!!! :)
    Depends on the build and the budget. Old metal with the right eye can do a world of justice for any old Fords.

    I'll just take the 3 window and the million - hang on, you're not from Nigeria are you?

    Is this just another scam??

    Oh the humanity!!!!!!!

    Does this mean I won't get my 3 window??

    Sad now - going!

    If I had a million dollars maybe I could decide easier. I had a Model A five window and loved it. So I guess I'd say a 32 five window.
    How long do I have to hold my breath till the check comes in the mail?

    I like Hot Rods and the saying "real hot rods don't have fenders!" To me a 5 window says Hot Rod while a 3 window looks more like a custom. My avatar is a 34 Plymouth from the 60s. I currently have a 33 5 window and a 34 5 window, never liked the look of a three window, just not a hot rod to me!
