For Sale: 1937 Ford 5 Window Deluxe Coupe in Mansfield, Texas

1937 Ford Custom 5 Window Coupe

The mid 30s brought big changes for Ford and the '36 represented a major transition period. The styling and engineering were redone to give them a more streamlined and integrated design. While similar, the '36 and '37 had some key differences. The freestanding headlights were sculpted in, a new 2 piece split windshield was created, the hood now opened from the front edge, and it was the first year for the full all steel roof. This 1937 5 window coupe is a beautiful car that was extremely well done. It took 12 years to build and shows very well. It was very well thought out and the result is a stunning street rod that runs just as good as it looks. The body is all very solid and painted in a metallic Orange that has a great finish and really pops out in the sun. The stainless and chrome is in great condition and it still wears the stock style front/rear bumpers. The grill is painted to match the body and the surrounding trim has a great shine. Swan neck mirrors have been added on both sides and are adjustable for extra visibility in addition to the normal style billet rear mirror. It has all new glass with a 1 piece replacement front windshield but it still has the split rear windshield. The integrated tear drop front headlights gave these cars their iconic front look and in back the taillights with trim have been frenched. The front lights also act has the turn signals. The wheels were the perfect choice for the car as the builder opted to go with more stock looking 15 inch steel wheels that are painted with beauty rings and Ford dog dish hubcaps.

The hood opens from the inside and underneath is a 383 stroker that runs great and has plenty of power. It has 9.6 to 1 compression and was built up with aluminum heads, an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, 650cfm Holley 4 barrel carb, finned valve covers, a finned oil pan and a chrome air cleaner. It sounds great through Hooker Headers into dual exhaust with chrome tips that exit below the rear. It runs cool thanks to the aftermarket Walker radiator with electric pull fan. The entire engine compartment is very worthy of showing off with a nice smooth recessed firewall and even all of the Vintage AC/Heat lines are well done. Power moves to the 10 bolt rear end through the 3 speed automatic transmission and it is set up for highway driving with the gears likely being around 2.59s. A Heidts front end has been added with disc brakes which are power assisted. The power booster is mounted below the car and has an adjustable proportioning valve.

The interior is all custom and very nicely done. It has power adjustable bucket seats done in a Tan leather with Beige suede inserts. It is in excellent condition and has been very well cared for since new. The custom door panels have armrests, the power window controls, and a storage pocket. Being a business coupe a custom rear package tray was made which provides an inset area for storage and a mounting point for the rear Kenwood speakers. It also has kick panel speakers and the Kenwood stereo head unit is mounted in a custom overhead panel. The dash is custom and all nicely painted. It has wood panel trim in place for the custom white Auto Meter gauges. LED indicators are in place for turn signals and all of the controls are nicely labeled. The Vintage AC controls are mounted in the center of the dash and it has inset vents throughout. It even has an auxiliary power outlet installed. The level of detail is top notch and nothing was overlooked. The painted tilt column features a column shifter and a 40 Ford style steering wheel. The trunk is nicely upholstered and is where you will find the relocated battery.

This is a very well built classic street rod that is great to cruise around in and will also perform well in shows.
