Model 68 Convertible Was $79,995.00 Now $59,995.00This 1936 Ford
Model 68 is a fine example presented in Washington Blue and
features aluminum cylinder heads. The exquisite detail on this Ford
demonstrates the care taken during the restoration.The 1935 Ford
was a thorough refresh on the popular V8-powered Ford. The
four-cylinder Model A engine was no longer offered, leaving just
the 221 CID V8 to power every Ford car and truck. The transverse
leaf spring suspension remained, but the front spring was relocated
ahead of the axle to allow more interior volume. The body was
lowered and new "Center-Poise" seating improved comfort. 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. The new
trucks continued with the old grille. Other major changes for 1936
were the use of pressed steel "artillery" solid wheels instead of
wire wheels.
