What Depression-era car managed to dethrone Chevrolet in sales in
the mid-1930s? Ford's Model 48. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased
to present this fully restored 1935 Ford Model 48 Slantback. Lloyd
Duzell, a long-time Early Ford V-8 Club member, built this car to a
very high standard and it shows. Lloyed owned this Ford until 2015.
Duzell restored many vintage Fords over many years. Dressed in
distinctive high gloss maroon, the car's paint and trim are in
excellent overall condition. The car's five-windows plus its
windshield are in overall fantastic shape, however there is some
delamination at the right rear window. The car's lights, including
its fog lights and blue dot taillights are clear and intact. This
car also comes with dual horns. Note that this car only has a
driver's side windshield wiper. The Slantback's bodywork is
straight and solid, the battery looks new, the engine bay is quite
tidy and the shiny chrome bumpers look great and fit well to the
body. This Ford rolls on Goodyear Deluxe All-Weather wide whitewall
tires, size 6.00-16 at all four corners. Within those whitewalls
are 1936 Ford steel and painted wire wheel covers with center caps
and beauty rings. Inside is a brilliant tan leather interior. The
front buckets and rear bench seats are in excellent order, as is
the matching tan carpet. The headliner and three-spoke
"banjo"-style steering wheel are in similar fantastic condition, as
is the gearshift lever. While the speedometer and odometer work,
the factory ancillary gauges are inoperable. However, there are a
complete set of aftermarket ancillary gauges mounted below the
factory gauges because the prove to be more accurate for actual
driving this stunning classic. The clock in the glovebox door is
inoperable but this car still maintains its original Philco AM
radio, antenna and overhead speaker. Underneath is a very tidy and
highly detailed undercarriage, often a detail skipped with this era
of Fords. It features many details such as a new gas tank and
complete rebuilt suspension components. TheModel 48was an update
onFord'sV-8-powered Model 40A, the company's main product.
Introduced in 1935, the Model 48 was given a cosmetic refresh
annually, begetting the1937 Fordbefore being thoroughly redesigned
for1941. The 1935 Ford's combination of price, practicality and
looks vaulted the company ahead of rivalChevroletfor the sales
crown that year, with 820,000 sold. The 1935 Ford was a thorough
refresh on the popularV-8-powered Ford. Thefour-cylinder Model
Aengine was no longer offered, leaving just the 221CIDV-8to power
every Ford car and truck. The transverseleaf 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. Visually, the 1935 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" or "Slantback" was also offered. Two
trim lines were offered, standard and DeLuxe, across a number of
body styles including a baseroadster, five-windowcoupe,
three-window coupe, Tudor and Fordorsedansin flatback or trunkback
versions, a convertible sedan, a woodystation wagon and newModel
51truck.Rumble seatswere optional on coupe model. An oil pressure
gauge (costing $4) and two windshield wipers were optional. If one
got the optional radio, it replaced the ash tray. Documentation
includes Ford Approved Accessories Guide, original Ford V-8
instruction book, original sales catalog, and a Philco radio
owner's manual. Competition to this Ford in 1935 include
Chevrolet's two-door Town Sedan and Plymouth's two-door Touring
Sedan. This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis,
Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 70,788 miles. It is
sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title.
