1936 FORD FORDOR SEDAN
History
The Ford Model 48 was an update on Ford's V8-powered Model 40A, the
company's main product. Introduced in 1935, the Model 48 was given
a cosmetic refresh annually and those looks vaulted the company
ahead of rival Chevrolet for the sales crown that year, with
820,000 sold.
Why This Car Is Special
The restored example 1936 Ford Fordor we have at Skyway Classics is
a factory correct example of how simple the looks of the suicide
doors makes this sedan into a cult vehicle. Style and function were
at the top priority of production back then and this car is a
wonderful example of those 30's era automobiles.
Mechanical
This 36 was restored with an eye toward authenticity and factory
correct look and parts. It has the correct 221 CID flathead V8 with
85 hp and torque of 144 lb�ft, was completely rebuilt and the stock
three speed transmission has also been gone through.
Ford's flathead V8 really needs no introduction, with this one
being a correct 221 cubic inch version with the stock carburetor,
wears proper green paint, Ford script coolant hoses, manifold, all
the correct air cleaner assembly, with the Flathead in a clean and
detailed engine compartment.
The three-speed manual gearbox shifts nicely and the car tracks
straight. The undercarriage, while original, remains in good order.
Beautiful spoke wheels with the Ford Flathead "V8" logo on the
hubcaps ride on Firestone wide whitewalls to complete the look.
Interior
When you sit in the driver's seat, the tan and tweed bench seat
interior is stunning with it's maroon dashboard and factory correct
gauges that look and function beautifully. The rear seat looks just
as nice as does the trunk area.
It has all the correct and functioning switches, lights, door
handles, side panels, and headliner are perfect.
Exterior
The 1936 saw only minor changes from the previous year but they
make a huge difference. The hood became longer and more pointed,
and the grille was given a sharper V-shape. The spare tire is
mounted outside on this sedan.
The fit and finish are great with excellent body lines, great
chrome and grille, hood ornament, and side mirrors, and green pin
stripe, compliment the classy black paint scheme.
Conclusion
This 1936 Ford 4-door sedan we have here at Skyway Classics is rare
because they didn't build many of them and not many gets restored
to this level. Take our word that this may be one of the nicest
1936 Fords on the planet.
