upholsteryAir-conditioning, tilt columnStewart Warner gauges As the
Great Depression began to ease, car sales began to rebound from the
earlier part of the decade. Ford tried to regain sales glory with
its 1937 models; Ford was first to move the headlights from
flanking the grill to fairing them into the leading edge of the
front fenders. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this
1937 Model 78 Two-door Humpback Sedan Restomod.The car?s red-orange
paint and trim are in very good order, its bodywork is straight and
solid, the cargo area matches the interior and looks great plus the
car?s chrome bumpers are in very good order.Under the hood is a
Chevy 350 CID V-8 with .040 overbore, with a crankshaft and rods
from a 327 CID V-8 with 10.25:1 compression ratio and dual
exhausts. Mated to the engine is a Turbo Hydramatic 350 three-speed
automatic transmission and a ?79 Corvette differential with
Posi-Traction. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning
and tilt steering column.This Ford rolls Uniroyal Tiger Paw radials
in front, size 185/65R15, and Michelin LTX radials in back, size
235/75R15. Each wheel is mounted on a Colorado Custom wheel. The
wheels are in good, original order while the tires are in very good
order.Inside, the Charcoal Gray interior is in overall very good
condition. The front and rear seats even have accents that
correspond to the exterior color. The carpet and headliner are
complementary to the seats. A three-spoke Colorado Custom
aftermarket steering wheel looks great, as does the gray instrument
panel and inner door panels but the horn is inoperable. The dash
comes with a full set of Stewart Warner gauges as well. This
handsome ride is equipped with vintage A/C which does blow cool but
not cold. Rounding out the interior is an Alpine AM/FM stereo with
MP3 capabilities.The 1937 Ford featured a more rounded look with
fine horizontal bars in the convex front and hood-side grilles. The
front grille was V-shaped, rather than following the fenders into a
pentagon shape, as on the 1936 model. Faired-in headlights were a
major modernization found on both the Standard and DeLuxe trim
versions, though much of the rest of the design was shared between
Ford?s two lines. A larger water pump was used to help aid in
cooling. ?Slantback? sedans gained a rear trunk door, though space
was limited and ?Trunkback? versions continued gaining sales.If you
want the classic American look on the outside with modern driveline
components underneath, this might be your next ride! Stop by
