Vehicle Description
1936 Ford Model 36 Cabriolet for sale! Motorcar Classics is pleased
to offer this stunning Model 36 presented in black with green
pinstripes over brown interior. A powerful V-8 engine, handsome
styling, and time-tested reliability made1936 Fords a popular
choice when new, especially the Cabriolet. Subtle design changes
over the preceding year included a restyled front end with a more
pronounced hood and dual concealed horns. In addition,
uninterrupted vertical bars lent the swept-back and tucked-under
vee?d grille newfound refinement that dovetailed nicely with the
redesigned rear fenders.This well-optioned Cabriolet was restored
by a past owner with an eye on driving over judged show
competition. Period-correct aftermarket modifications include dual
exhaust with clamshell tips and blue dot taillight lenses. The
gem-like prisms create an optical illusion that transforms ordinary
red light into a vibrant purple magenta when viewed directly from
behind. These tasteful touches only enhance the timeless lines of
the 1936 Ford, inviting its next owner the change to experience the
thrill of a Flathead-powered Cabriolet.Style, features and
eight-cylinder performance helped Ford outsell Chevrolet in 1934,
and the company churned out its two-millionth Flathead V-8 in 1935.
With a two-barrel downdraft carburetor, aluminum heads, and
mechanical lifters, the 221-cubic-inch V-8 produced a factory-rated
85 horsepower. Engineering improvements for 1936 included
helical-cut gears on first and reverse for a full complement of
quieter shifting and a longer steering spindle arm for easier
steering.The passing of time finally pierced Henry Ford's
wire-spoke-wheel orthodoxy, and one-piece pressed steel
artillery-style wheels debuted in 1936. The body color-keyed wheels
wear V-8 logo covers, beauty rings, and wide whitewall tires for
stylish motoring around town or out on the highway. A grille guard
and amber lens fog lamps augment the front and rear bumper
combination. Your inspection is invited!
