Vehicle Description
In 1935 Ford introduced its innovative flat head V8 engine as well
as a new, stunning body design that clearly separated them from
Fords very popular Model A. Introduced in 1935, the Ford V8 was
given a cosmetic refresh annually until 1937 before being
thoroughly redesigned for 1941. The 1936 Ford Model 68 received a
striking facelift from the prior year. New features included a
graceful V-shaped grill with vertical bars and wire wheels were
replaced by larger artillery type wheels with 12 inch painted
hubcaps with chrome centers that included the V8 logo embossed into
the center of the hubcap. Deluxe body styles features bright chrome
around the grill, headlamps and windshield.
