The 1934 Ford 5-Window Coupe is a classic car and a staple in the hot rod community, known for its iconic window
design, “suicide doors,” and distinctive grille. It was very customizable, and with its streamlined style and Flathead
V8 engine, it made for a powerful race car. It was sturdy and reliable, and this one was customized for racing. The car
itself tells a story. Originally owned by Dale Northrup, it was restored by Frankie Weaver and Korte’s Auto Body.
Driver Cecil raced this #400 car with his pit crew: Dale, Dave, and Joe, who made sure to give a thanks so special to
Frankie Weaver and Dave Bigalk that they painted it right on the hood. They were sponsored by Skelly Products, Winona
Auto Sales of Winona, MN, and Jerry’s Auto Sales. The race car then found itself in the Elmer’s Auto & Toy Museum
Collection. The rest of its story could be up to you; this rare find is available at DS Classics.
