1934 Terraplane K Special convertible coupe
A 1936 sedan tested in Britain did 0-60 mph in 26.6 seconds and delivered 82 mph top speed -- highly creditable for a 2,800-pound car at that time. Open body styles are, as usual, the most desirable. Convertible models numbered two per year except in 1935, when there was only the DeLuxe Six convertible. A six-passenger convertible brougham was added to the DeLuxe and Super lines in 1937, independent front suspension in 1934.
