Nice pictures, thanks for posting. I've seen some of those cars before, but not the 34 Eight dual cowl. One thing struck me about it and this body style in general. Only half of the sidemount covers are present, the tread covers but not the side plates. Perhaps it's a work in progress, or perhaps the owner likes it better than way. I often think the open cars like that look even better with the canvas sidemount covers, perhaps in body color, and strap-on mirrors. To each his own...

The chromed radiator shutters were standard on a Super Eight and extra cost on the Eight. Fine looking example.
