The Model 48 was introduced in 1935 to follow up with the
popularity of the 1934. It was offered up with 10 different body
styles. The design was refreshed in 1936 with a different front
grill and slightly modified side panels. The V8 version was known
as the Deluxe Model 68. Of the available body styles the
Convertible Sedan, like you see here, was one of the more popular
and one that you don't see as often nowadays. It is an all original
steel body car and has a great look. It wears a Washington Blue
paint that has a great shine. This is combined with a custom
removable canvas top also done in a Dark Blue. The car has its
original style chrome bumpers and all the trim its cleanly mounted
in place. Another redesign in '36 was the addition of "artillery"
wheels instead of the wire wheels from the previous years. They
have a really neat look and are powder coated beige with chrome
center caps and wide white wall tires. On the rear of the car is a
matching spare in its original cover.
Open up the 4 piece steel hood from either side to reveal the 283
ci V8 that has been bored out to a 292. It runs great and is very
worthy of being shown off at car shows. It is fitted with a new
Edelbrock carburetor, custom polished valve covers, polished intake
and finned air cleaner. It has a new radiator with 2 pusher
electric fans and a 6 blade mechanical fan keeping it running nice
and cool. The transmission is a Turbo 350 automatic with 2500 stall
converter sending power back to the 8 3/4 inch rear end. The car
sounds great through the custom dual exhaust with Hooker Super
Competition mufflers. The car has been entirely rewired, had the
brakes rebuilt and new wheel bearings installed.
The interior is done in Red leather and in excellent condition
throughout. From the carpet to the headliner everything looks
great. It has front and rear bench seats which is very roomy so the
whole family can go for a ride. It has custom door panels with
chrome handles and window cranks. The dash is nicely painted and
topped off with VDO gauges with electronic odometer that are all
working. On the center of the dash is a clock in a very cool piece
of billet aluminum engraved with "36 Ford". Below the dash is a
custom upholstered section for the Vintage Air AC/Heat system with
adjustable vents. In front of the driver sits a new Ididit steering
column fitted with an original Banjo steering wheel.
This is a very clean classic Ford that runs/drives just as good as
it looks. It beautifully combines vintage styling with some more
modern comforts and would make a nice addition to any
collection.
