The body panels are straight, and the paintwork is clean, showcasing the high-quality restoration it underwent prior to its limited post-restoration mileage.Inside, the brown leather interior continues the car?s theme of tasteful sophistication. The seats are well-padded and supportive, trimmed in leather that has been well-maintained over the years. The dash and trim are era-correct, with classic gauges and switchgear that preserve the vehicle?s original charm. Despite its vintage roots, the cabin is comfortable and inviting, ideal for relaxed motoring or simply admiring the detail of 1930s design.With a known ownership history, low mileage since restoration, and a classic color combination, this 1936 Ford Cabriolet is a rare opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a true piece of automotive history.
