Photo of 1934 Standard 9
Hello Phil,
I am doing some family history
research and am trying to identify a car that belonged to my
grandfather. I believe the attached picture of the car was
taken in the 1930's.
My grandfather lived in Coventry and
worked at the Standard car factory.
Is it possible to identify the car
type, with some idea of when it would have been made?
I would appreciate any help that you
can give on this.
Regards
John Birch
Hi John,
Its a 1934 Standard 9 deluxe 4 door
saloon. It is on the LWB chassis as there was also a 2 door 9 on the
shorter chassis. Its deluxe because it has chromium plated headlight
bowls and it is a 9, rather than a 10 because the 10 hp had the spare
wheel enclosed in a "Boot"
Hope that helps
Kind regards,
Phil Homer
I am aware that there are other cars
and information that could be added to this site to make it more comprehensive, so if you
