Vehicle Description
1936 Ford Humpback
The Art Deco Style was all the rage in 1936, and Ford designers
seized the moment with the slant-back and humpback sedans. A road
to hood V grille, teardrop headlights, split rear window,
curvaceous rear lines with two tiny red oval angled taillights were
the inspirations taken from the movement. The hump-back was hailed
as one of the most beautiful designs of the decade.
Known as the Ford Model 48, a 5-window 2 door Tudor in a hot rod
garb, and beefy engine.
Exterior
Retaining much of its original look, this shows a Tudor model with
the "humpback" trunk. Spray on a slick coat of white, then add some
airbrushed blue flames and a set of American Racing 5 spokes and
you have a first-class Hot Rod. Paint is showing in good condition,
with a few areas of slight chipping. Noted,is an uninstalled
Continental Kit which comes with the car.
Interior
A swing of the door, and you are in blue heaven. Lots of dark blue
carpeting in good condition flows over the floor. Two blue tweed
buckets are in the front, and a 2+2 Style bench stretches across
the back, but provides plenty of legroom for the extra 2. The white
dash has been redone and customized to include Autometer gauges,
and a few streamlined warning lights. An aftermarket AM/FM/CD
player has been added in front of the passenger seat, and has
speakers spread around including a sub-woofer in the trunk area.
Mohair graces the door panels, as well as the headliner. Wrap it
all up with a custom wood rally steering wheel, and a long
automatic floor shifter, and you are in cool blue land.
Drivetrain
A blue and chromed 355ci V8 resides in a white engine bay. Some
engraved flames on chromed valve covers, and air cleaner top as
well as braided stainless hoses all around give a beautiful
complimentary shine to this mill. A TH350 Transmission is attached
to the back.
Undercarriage
A clean undercoat free environment shows very little rust, and if
it is present, it all surface rust. An upgrade to vented disc
brakes in front, and drums in the rear all with new brake lines
attached. A gleaming driveshaft and upgraded rear suspension will
allow handling to be precise.
A fully restored turn the key hot rod in the form of a Ford Model
48. What more could you ask for?
