1936 Ford Deluxe 5 Window Coupe High Speed Gears Engine Rebuilt Exceptional Car
Visually, the 1936 Ford was much more modern with the grille pushed forward and made more prominent by de-emphasized and more-integrated fenders. A major advance was a true integrated trunk on "trunkback" sedans, though the traditional "flatback" was also offered. Outdated body styles like the Victoria were also deleted for the year. Two trim lines were offered, standard and DeLuxe, across a number of body styles including a base roadster, five-window coupe, three-window coupe, Tudor and Fordorsedans in flatback or trunkback versions, a convertible sedan, a woody station wagon, and new Model 51 truck. Chevrolet regained the sales lead at the end of 1936, but the Ford still sold extremely well. A new club cabriolet model was introduced with a fully-framed windshield and weatherproof top, and the convertible sedan gained the popular integrated trunkback design.
The look was updated with an inverted pentagonal grille with all-vertical bars beneath a prominent hood and three horizontal chrome side strips (on DeLuxe models). A concealed horn, long a prominent part of the Ford's design, also brought the car into modern times. Other major changes for 1936 were the use of pressed steel "artillery" solid wheels instead of wire wheels.
This very nice 5 Window Coupe has only had 3 owners from new. The car spent most of its life with its original family in Kentucky and was purchased by a gentleman in PA whose family previously owned a Packard Dealer there. He embarked on a comprehensive restoration and ket the car for many years before selling it to our client about 6 years ago. The car still remains quite show worthy, in fact I could not find really much to pick at-its very nice car in every respect. The paint and brightwork are in excellent condition as is the interior and the engine bay is nicely detailed and correct in every manner. the car has been very well maintained under current ownership with an engine rebuild, higher speed gears added, New Carburator, New Radiator, New Fuel Tank, and new radial tries roughly 500 miles ago. A new battery was just installed to insure nothing will need attended to by the new owner.
The car features the tilt up seat back for easy access to the capacious storage area as well as a rumble seat and rear mounted spare.
This is a great opportunity to get a turn key 5 Window Rumble Seat Coupe that needs nothing and is read for the road!
