1936 Ford Convertible Sedan

Ford was reinventing themselves when they started the 1935 model in the sense that they were no longer using their tried and true four-cylinder models and had made the move to offer the 221ci V8 throughout all Ford cars and trucks. They stuck to their strengths with that engine and also left the transverse leaf spring suspension intact but adapted the front springs to fit the new designs more properly and relocated it ahead of the axle which gave more room to the interior. The Ford design was much more modern than prior years with its grill pushed forward which made it more prominent and then de-emphasized the fenders to give it less of the “Bubble” look from the side. One of the most advanced designs was its truly integrated trunk on the “trunkback” sedans, though the traditional “flatback” would still be offered.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this highly unmolested example of the 1936 ½ Ford Convertible Sedan for your consideration. The majority of the pre-war cars were made with the practical utilitarian use in mind, this model was made for the others looking for some luxury and style. With its origin being traced back to the same family since 1965, there aren't many questions left for how this vehicle was treated as it shows well throughout! With what is believed to be the original engine and transmission still sitting underneath, a very aged but appropriate top on it and all the style between its curved bumpers, this is a real head turner with all the nostalgia you could ask for. The interior has seen a refresh as of 1969 when they were able to get a proper material that was used when it was first built and documentation provided to us also includes samples of the old material used in swatches. Many documents from when it was restored much closer to its age is also provided giving this a great deal of representation of the quality and correctness that was done to this fine example. A great find for those who appreciate pre-war automobiles, call or email us today for answers to any questions you may have!
