Ford Coupe 265 ci Flathead V8 1936

General description : 1936 Ford Coupe 1936 was a big year for Ford models as they received some subtle upgrades that really separated the car from body styles of previous years.  Although similar to the 1935, the 1936 cars received new vertical grills, chrome side strips, and pressed steel wheels instead of the typical wire.  They also were the first year to have concealed horns which for a long time were very prominent in Ford's designs.  While they may be small changes it really brought Ford into a more modern look for the time and even today these 36's remain extremely popular.  Both the originals and street rods alike are a staple at any car show.  This year was also unique in that it was the last year for the standalone headlights as the world would soon see flush in fender lights which would become the standard for many years to come.  This 1936 is a very nice stock style classic that is really solid.  The car is an original all steel Ford.  It is painted Black and the paint has a nice shine.  All of the stainless trim is in good condition and it still wears its original chrome bumpers which are nice to see as they often get removed.  The slide glass is all new and it still has the factory roll down rear window.  Another cool factory feature is the rear rumble seat and the rear fender steps to get in it.  It is almost guarantee that at every show someone will be wearing a smile as they point out that rumble seat.  That being said if the rumble seat is not your style the car comes with all the parts needed to convert it into a standard trunk. The Black steel wheels look great on the car and are perfect without any sort of hubcaps or covers.  Those could certainly be added but something about the bare look with beauty rings and wide whites gives it a cool old school touch.  Getting this thing rolling is a 8BA 265 cubic inch Flathead V8 that runs great.  The motor has been bored 40 over and built up with a Mercury crank, adjustable lifters, Offenhauser heads, an Offenhauser intake, Holly 4 barrel carburetor, Mallory dual point distributor and aftermarket headers.  It has plenty of power and people who know flatheads will tell you it has all the right stuff.  Cooling is provided by the Griffin Aluminum radiator with electric fan so overheating is never an issue.  The transmission is a 5 speed manual that sends power back to the Granada 8 inch rear end with 2:79 gears.  It is a great cruiser.  Front disc brakes have been added as well as a Vega steering box which are very nice upgrades.  The electronics all work properly and utilize a Ron Francis wiring unit.    The interior is Grey cloth and has the original layout.  The bench seat is comfortable with no rips or tears.  The dash is painted black and all the components work as they should.  The Old Air AC/Heat controls are on the lower dash section which also houses the adjustable vents.  The Banjo steering wheel looks perfect on a car like this and is a combo of Black and Beige.    This smooth running classic has a great look and was built right!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
