636-600-4600 Pre-World War II Fords are becoming harder to find but
we have one at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. We are pleased to offer
this 1935 Model 48 DeLuxe Tudor Sedan. This car has been in
Missouri since it was bought new and with the same loving owner for
the past 36 years, since 1982! Dressed in Vineyard Green, this
car's paint and trim are in overall excellent condition. The green
is very eye-catching. The bodywork is straight and solid, including
the rubberized roof, which was commonly used then, and the chrome
bumpers, which are in very good order. This 48 wears Goodyear
Deluxe All-Weather tires, size 6.00-16 at all four corners. They
are mounted on body-colored Ford wire wheels with chrome center
caps, the left front window has a crack. The tires and wheels are
all in very good condition. Under the vee'd hood is Ford's 221 CID
Flathead V-8 engine. 1935's 48 V-8 saw compression drop to 6.3:1,
but power climb to 85 horsepower, and torque was rated at 144
lbs�ft. Production of the original 221 lasted from 1932 through to
1936. These engines can be identified by their water pumps located
at the front of the heads. Backing up this engine is a three-speed
sliding gear manual transmission with a floor-mounted shifter and a
4.11:1 differential. Inside, the tan seats are in overall excellent
condition, the matching carpet looks great and the headliner does,
too. The three-spoke steering wheel is in satisfactory order, while
the metal instrument panel, with its full suite of gauges, is in
great condition, as are the inner door liners. The floor shifter is
in satisfactory order. The odometer reading in 1982 was 3,035 and
remains the same as the odometer/speedometer are inoperable. We
found a dealer customer invoice dated September 20, 1940 in the
car's glovebox. The owner at that time lived at 1144 McCausland
Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri. Today, an off-ramp from westbound
Interstate 64 exits onto McCausland at that location. At 25,456
miles, the owner had the dealer, Love-Johnson Motor Co., lubricate
the chassis and adjust the brakes, which cost a grand total of
$1.10! Love-Johnson Ford was located at 5244 Natural Bridge Ave.,
just east of Union Boulevard in St. Louis. Today, that address is
part of Stepney Brothers Auto Body. That invoice was tucked within
a 1948 AAA Service Station Directory. The 1935 Ford was a thorough
refresh on the popular V-8-powered Ford. The four-cylinder Model A
engine was no longer offered, leaving just the 221 CID V-8 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 for 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" was also offered. Two trim lines
were offered, standard and DeLuxe, across a number of body styles
including a base roadster, five-window coupe, three-window coupe,
Tudor and Fordor sedans in flatback or trunkback versions, a
convertible sedan, a woody station wagon, and new Model 51 truck.
Rumble seats were 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. The 1935 Ford's
combination of price, practicality, and looks vaulted the company
ahead of rival Chevrolet for the sales crown that year, with
820,000 sold. Competition to this Ford in 1935 included Chevrolet's
Master Deluxe models and Plymouth's PJ Deluxe Two-door Touring
Sedan. Ford fans would enjoy seeing this '35 Tudor, as would any
collector who specializes in pre-World War II vehicles. If you're
