For Sale at Auction: 1935 Ford Deluxe in Auburn, Indiana

Introduced as part of Ford's thoroughly updated 1935 model lineup, the Ford Deluxe Phaeton represented a refined evolution of the company's increasingly sophisticated approach to styling and engineering during the mid-1930s. Building on the success of earlier V-8 models, Ford continued to solidify its reputation for delivering performance and value to a broad audience. By this time, the influence of streamlined design had begun to reshape the American automobile, and the 1935 Ford reflected this shift with a more integrated and modern appearance, featuring a gently sloped grille, skirted fenders, and a wider, more balanced stance. At the heart of the Deluxe Phaeton was Ford's dependable 221-cubic-inch Flathead V-8 engine, producing approximately 85 horsepower. This power plant, introduced just a few years earlier, remained a standout feature in the affordable car market, offering smooth and capable performance that few competitors could match at the price point. Paired with a three-speed manual transmission, the driving experience was both engaging and approachable, making the car well-suited for a variety of uses. The Phaeton body style, a four-door open touring configuration, captured the spirit of earlier motoring traditions while benefiting from the advancements of the 1930s. With dual side-mounted spare tires, folding windshield, and a well-appointed interior, the Deluxe Phaeton balanced elegance with practicality. Today, it stands as a charming reminder of a transitional era in automotive design, where open-air motoring and modern engineering briefly converged in one stylish and highly collectible package. The recipient of a comprehensive body-off-the-frame restoration, this 1935 Phaeton is finished in Ford's charming Washington Blue over a tan interior. Exterior features include 16-inch artillery wheels with V-8 scripted hubcaps wrapped in Goodyear Deluxe tires, accessory fog lights, sideview mirrors, and turn signals. Under the hood lies a fit 221-cubic-inch Flathead V-8 engine that's paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Beautifully restored, this Deluxe Phaeton offers an ideal opportunity to experience one of Ford's most elegant prewar open touring cars, equally suited for display or enjoyable fair-weather driving. * Recipient of a comprehensive body-off-the-frame restoration
