Vehicle Description
1936 Ford Coupe
1936 was a big year for Ford models as they received some subtle
upgrades that really separated the car from body styles of previous
years. Although similar to the 1935, the 1936 cars received new
vertical grills, chrome side strips, and pressed steel wheels
instead of the typical wire. They also were the first year to have
concealed horns which for a long time were very prominent in Ford's
designs. While they may be small changes it really brought Ford
into a more modern look for the time and even today these 36's
remain extremely popular. Both the originals and street rods alike
are a staple at any car show. This year was also unique in that it
was the last year for the standalone headlights as the world would
soon see flush in fender lights which would become the standard for
many years to come. This 1936 is a very nice stock style classic
that is really solid. The car is an original all steel Ford. It is
painted Black and the paint has a nice shine. All of the stainless
trim is in good condition and it still wears its original chrome
bumpers which are nice to see as they often get removed. The slide
glass is all new and it still has the factory roll down rear
window. Another cool factory feature is the rear rumble seat and
the rear fender steps to get in it. It is almost guarantee that at
every show someone will be wearing a smile as they point out that
rumble seat. That being said if the rumble seat is not your style
the car comes with all the parts needed to convert it into a
standard trunk. The Black steel wheels look great on the car and
are perfect without any sort of hubcaps or covers. Those could
certainly be added but something about the bare look with beauty
rings and wide whites gives it a cool old school touch.
Getting this thing rolling is a 8BA 265 cubic inch Flathead V8 that
runs great. The motor has been bored 40 over and built up with a
Mercury crank, adjustable lifters, Offenhauser heads, an
Offenhauser intake, Holly 4 barrel carburetor, Mallory dual point
distributor and aftermarket headers. It has plenty of power and
people who know flatheads will tell you it has all the right stuff.
Cooling is provided by the Griffin Aluminum radiator with electric
fan so overheating is never an issue. The transmission is a 5 speed
manual that sends power back to the Granada 8 inch rear end with
2:79 gears. It is a great cruiser. Front disc brakes have been
added as well as a Vega steering box which are very nice upgrades.
The electronics all work properly and utilize a Ron Francis wiring
unit.
The interior is Grey cloth and has the original layout. The bench
seat is comfortable with no rips or tears. The dash is painted
black and all the components work as they should. The Old Air
AC/Heat controls are on the lower dash section which also houses
the adjustable vents. The Banjo steering wheel looks perfect on a
car like this and is a combo of Black and Beige.
This smooth running classic has a great look and was built right!
