There was only one interior offered for the 1934 Standard. It was the common brown mohair material.
Colors-exterior
1934 color chips often can be found on ebay. The black fenders were still standard equipment in 1934 with body colored fenders optional. Due to the fact that the Standard was the "economy" car most had the black fenders.
Colors available were black, dark blue, dark green, (these were the most common colors) as well as a brown, medium green,and maroon.

To learn more about your 1934 I would suggest that you get a catalog from ....www.fillingstation....-They have reprints of the shop manual, owners manual, Engineering Manual, sales literature, etc......Could purchase all the the mentioned for less than $100.00. Unfortuntaly they do not have the color chips. Send me your email address and I can add some more info.


Welcome to the chat site

Thanks for the great info you sent me

Continue to post your questions here on this thread.
The black car will have a bronze gold striped on the belt mouldings. The wheels could be black, red or cream.
The trim number refers to the interior trim (upholstery)....all 1934 Standards were the same, #42 for the brown mohair.(it had a slight Chevron pattern.)

stoagie,
Did you find this?

Thanks for the info

Thank you for your info

Quote from shout box: Where can I purchase the original interior for a 1934 standard 2 door sedan. LB does not make it.

You may find the needed information here (from Hampton Coach): http://www.hamptoncoach.com/gm_plist.htm

If not, you may have to buy the cloth/fabric and copy the old interior yourself.

And, please do not use the shout box, but f.ex. this column for such questions.

Good luck.

sorry I'm still new to this

I think you'll find that hampton will not have interior for the Standard Models. When I tried to get an interior for a 35 Standard they did not have it and suggested the 34 Master interion. It will be worth a try to contact them.

Beware. All the deminsions of the Master are different from the Standard. You wouldn't want to spend $3000 to find out

Hampton has an interior kit for a 35 Standard coach (Big$$$). I was looking at it for my 34 Standard coach because the original upholstry is long gone. I was also told that the 34 and 35 Standard coach interiors are identical. Can anyone verify this?

Thanks.

The 1934 Standard 2 door had two different style of bodies. The early version has a seperate rear lower body panel. The rear body panel is all in one pice on the late cars. The rear quarter windows and rear of the body in general is longer on the late style. The early has the spare tire canted at an angle, late is almost verticle. Due to these changes the head lining, trim around the quarter windows, and quarter panel trim will be different. Its also possible that the rear seat may have had some changes.

Thanks Gene for that update. I didn't realize that the later changes were that much of a difference. I will have to contact Hampton Coach to see if they can clarify if their 1935 Standard interior kit is suited for the early models or the later.

Another question: My 1934 is a 200 series Standard, which has many attributes of the 1933 Standard. Are their interiors the same?

Garry.

The 1934 Standard 200 is an early style. The late 2 door was a 01 Series.
The 1933 Standard was about 2" less wide in the body demensions.
The late 1934 coach body is 98 5/15" from the dash to the rear window. Your earley 1934 Standard coach body is 95 1/4". The added length is from the back edge of the front door on back. The back seat leg room was increased 2 1/4" on the late body. This indiactes that the rear seat is farther to the rear. The seat in its self then may be a little different shape.
The Hampton Coach I installed in my 1934 Master years back came with the upholstery material pre-attached to the backing. This meant that all sections were cut to fit a size. To use the 1935 Std. interior in your shorter 1934 body would require resizing (making shorter) the rear side panels. Not sure what you would do with the head lining as it comes pre-sewed with the roof bow strips, etc.
The 1933 Standard was not a popular model with only 35,000 sold in the US. The 1934 was a little better with about 100,000 sold with the coach being the most popular by far. In 1935 there were 200,000 sold, making it a very popular model that year. 126,000 were the coach style.
I would doubt if HC would know what you are talking about if you mention earley and latestyle 1934 coach bodies. When the 1934 Standard was introduced there was no 4 door body style. Later in the year (November in Canada) the 4 door was introduced and that is /was the 1935 style body. At that time the coach received the new longer body.
The 1935 had extensive changes. (actual 1935) It had a new X type frame, larger brakes, generally stronger front end and the larger Master engine with the water pump mounted into the block rather than the head as the 1933-34 Standard had.

Thanks again Gene! The only pieces left of the original interior are the seats, door panels and headliner. The rear panels are what I'm most concerned about! HC sells the door and rear panels from this kit without the fabric as well. That is probably my only option: to purchase those 2 rear panels and to fit them accordingly. As for the headliner, it is good enough for a pattern that an interior shop could replicate.

Thanks Again,
Gary.

Not quite what you're after, however I though you might enjoy the unusual colours of of my 34 Master. The car is totally original and has never been restored, it was a one owner low mileage car when I bought it from the deceased estate 33 years ago. I've now done over 100,000 miles in it.
Also I'm lucky enough to own the full set of of Chev colour chips and these two colours are definitely on them
Chris

Those are not US colors....also belt line trim is different from US Ficher Body cars. Is that a Holden Body?

The car has a Holden body, and the bead lines are diferent as are door handles and a few other things. The identical colours are shown on my US colour charts so that colour combination would have been available over there. I can scan a copy of the chart if you need more confirmation
Chris

Chris, I have the color charts, etc.
The color looks like a light green with medium green fenders on my screen. There was no such combination in the US. Or is it the Chateau Gray and Penquin Gray colors?
The two color cars in the US would have the upper body one color and the lower body the other color with the fenders either the lower body color or black. Also the gray cars would have red wheels and the green cars cream.

On my computer the colors look like Tan and Green.

Gents
According to the colour charts the lighter colour is 'Penquin Gray' and the darker colour is 'Chateau gray'. The photo is a very old one and colours appear a bit brighter than actual, however they both appear green according the naked eye, even though the colour charts say gray. The seats are green leather.
The comments re the US combinations is interesting and appear to be quite different to those down here. I'll have a look for an old photo of a 34 standard sport roadster that has a red body and maroon guards (fenders) and if I can find it I'll post for your interest
Also of interest I bought the 34 from a deceased estate 34 years ago and have done nearly 100,000 miles in it since I've owned it.
Thanks for all the feedback Chris

To be very honest I have never seen a 1934 in the two gray color. My father had a 1934 Master and I was always aware of that model.
Most were either black, dark green or dark blue. I remember one in maroon. You just never saw the brighter colors or the two color combinations. Originally I was going to paint my 1934 the brown/tan but stayed with the original black.The color catalogs do sow the "colors" but they are not true photpgraphs.

Would you have a paint code number that would match the dark blue (admiral blue) for the 1934 chevrolet sedan? I have numbers but the supplier says they are too old. Also, are the fenders black, on the 34 Master Sedan DA or the same color as the car? I'm restoring and ready to paint but can't.

Hi there,
chris Os****ne is that you?
still have the same car?
Peter
