1936 Ford Sedan

Everyone has their favorite year of Ford V8, nd mine is the 1936. The one-year-only styling combines the traditional upright grille with a streamlined body to create one of the best-looking cars of the period, o matter the manufacturer. This unusual 2-door sedan with its integrated trunk is a neat resto-rod that keeps all the great Ford styling and merely adds a few the modern conveniences.If you admire the '36 Ford like I do, hen you'll definitely appreciate the extra mile the builders went on this handsome tudor sedan. Fortunately, t hasn't been chopped, hanneled, r smoothed, eaving all the original steel pretty much as it was when it was new. The gently rounded fenders with their peaked crease through the middle, he highly detailed hood vents, nd practical yet stylish trunk with integrated rear-mount spare tire, t has all been transported intact from 1936. Finished in Henry Ford's favorite color, igh-gloss black, t looks sensible and nicely finished, ith a high-class air to it, uch like a tuxedo. It's not perfect, aving been built a few years ago, ut the look will never go out of style. Most of the original brightwork made the translation, rom the neatly dipped bumpers to the original door handles to the original taillights which now feature LED bulbs and lenses. Up front, here are cool modern bulbs with LED rings in the original buckets, long with a set of fog lamps underneath. The grille is blacked-out, iving it a semi-custom look that's familiar but different enough to make this car stand out.Inside, ll pretensions of being a stock Ford are long gone, eplaced by bucket seats and all the modern features you'd expect. The seats appear to be from a late-model, ith the back seat and door panels upholstered to match. Ford's original dash remains, ith the billet instrument panel full of pretty cream-faced VDO gauges, nd we really like the tachometer in the center, ight where the original ashtray (or optional AM radio) might have lived. The A/C and AM/FM/CD stereo controls have been neatly integrated into a custom panel just below the dash, nd the way it fits together makes the line between stock and modified very blurry. A leather-wrapped wheel looks right in the Ford, nd it sits atop a tilt steering column. Other options include power windows and the trunk is deep enough to handle a weekend's worth of luggage, o don't be afraid to hit the road in this Ford!While the flathead was celebrated for its performance at the time, oday you need more horsepower and the best source of that is a 350 cubic inch Chevy V8. Sensibly dressed with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and intake manifold, n HEI ignition system, nd a splash of chrome to keep it interesting. It was built a few years ago, o it's totally sorted, smooth, eliable, owerful travelling companion for the guy who likes to drive his rods. The Chevy is a neat fit in the Ford's engine bay, nd all the accessories tuck in tight so the hood fits well. A big radiator, ower steering and brakes, nd a late-model front clip make it drive like a modern car. The transmission is a TH350 3-speed automatic spinning a 10-bolt rear end hanging on air shocks and leaf springs, nd the dual exhaust with glasspack-style mufflers sounds just right. Competing the illusion is a set of polished Torque Thrust wheels with big-n-little blackwall radials for the perfect stance.Classic good looks never go out of style, aking this is a well-sorted rod that's a true pleasure to drive.
