Description
Lot #461 - The meticulous nut-and-bolt restoration of this 1936 Ford Deluxe convertible included a complete engine overhaul with repaired wires to the alternator. The carburetor and distributor were rebuilt; all seals, gaskets, needle and seat were replaced; the brake system was completely converted from mechanical to hydraulic. New pedals, linkage, lines, hoses, spindles, kingpins, bearings and backing plates were installed, as were rear shocks, new production frame mount brackets and upgraded tube style shocks. It also included a new battery, and a new lever-style system was incorporated, using a mix of brand-new and NOS original late-model parts to achieve a stock factory-style hydraulic system that maintains the original wheels and factory emergency-brake lever inside. It comes finished in green over brown upholstery, and is powered by a Flat V8 engine and a 3-speed manual transmission. This classic Ford represents an all-original steel body and is one of 5,555 produced.
