This particular 1936 Ford Deluxe Roadster was reportedly one of the first built for the 1936 model year, with a September 1935 date of manufacture. The car was beautifully restored by Ford expert Jerry Veley. The car is finished in factory correct black with saddle veal-grain leather upholstery. The top and interior are beautifully fitted utilizing LeBaron-Bonney materials. The car is equipped with a rumble seat, and a very desirable original accessory radio. The restoration was judged three times by the Early Ford V-8 Club, eventually receiving a perfect score of 1,000 points and no fewer than three of the famed Dearborn Awards. The car is powered by a 221-cid L-head V-8 engine which is paired to a three-speed manual transmission. The roadster utilizes solid front and a live rear axle with transverse semi-elliptical leaf springs and four-wheel mechanical brakes. With only 3,862 examples produced in 1936, this Ford Deluxe Roadster is a great example of the model with the quality of its restoration shining through in every nut and bolt.
