PRICE REDUCED - This 1936 Convertible Sedan is
the Trunk Back model which was a Spring introduction in April
1936.
It was purchased by the present owner in the early 1950s and used
as his regular, back and forth to work, driver for many years. It
has been driven less than 500 miles since a total frame off, ground
up restoration. Refinished to perfection in the original Spring
color of Light Fast Maroon. The interior is in brown genuine
leather. It is an outstanding example of a rare, low production,
open car. The bodywork is exceptionally straight. The paint work is
completed with the addition of the original pattern gold stripe.
All of the chrome was restored to show standards.
All restoration work was done to achieve authenticity to the
original standards. The dash and window moldings have been properly
wood grained. All of the gauges are original and in perfect working
condition. The original odometer shows 97925 miles. The tan canvas
top is new and in outstanding condition. It has the "Three
Position" top which can be set in the fully closed position, the
fully open position, and the rarely used half way down position,
which gives the car the appearance of an open front Town Car.
The engine is a correct 1936 flathead V8 with cast iron heads and
aluminum intake. Fully rebuilt during the restoration, it starts
quickly and smoothly and quietly with the typical sounds of
flathead Fords. All the wiring is correct cloth-covered stock. It
has the original three-speed manual transmission with synchromesh
on second and third gears. Despite Henry's insistence on mechanical
brakes, this Convertible Sedan performs and stops in a manner that
gives the driver complete confidence. The chassis is completely
restored. The original wheels are equipped with original style hub
caps and trim rings with the proper 16-inch Firestone wide white
wall tires.
