Description
Lot #366 - This 5-window rumble seat coupe with chassis number 182628689 is offered by Gas Monkey Garage. There's just something special about Ford's styling from the mid-1930s. Ford cars were not only reliable, but their sculptured lines also rivaled many coach-built cars of the day. This 5-window coupe is a great example of just how exquisite a Ford could be with its well-balanced design and excellent reliability. This example is well-preserved in stock configuration and even retains some of its original paint. This is a Ford that has never been rusted or abused in any way. It has just emerged from long-term storage and stands ready for touring. It's also a nicely optioned Ford coupe with running lamps and dual mirrors. The interior is finished in tan with comfortable bench seating, and rear passengers are treated to a memory from the past with a rumble seat. Power comes from Ford's tried-and-proven 221ci V8 with a 3-speed manual transmission. The engine compartment of this 1936 Ford is nicely detailed with correct colors and properly sorted components. This Ford rides on wide whitewall tires with Ford's pressed-steel rims with 12" hubcaps. The charming styling of Ford's cars for 1936 has always been a favorite of hot-rodders, and perhaps that's what makes this one so special. Untouched by any modifications, this 5-window coupe is a car that looks great from any angle and also offers the excellent reliability for which Ford's V8 was known.
