This particular 1936 deluxe roadster was reportedly one of the first built for the 1936 model year, with a september 1935 date of manufacture. The car had a body off restoration in 1998 by ford expert jerry veley. The car is finished in factory correct black with saddle veal-grain leather upholstery. The car is equipped with a rumble seat, and a very desirable original accessory radio. Veley refreshed the restoration. The car is powered by a 221ci l-head v8 engine which is paired to a three-speed manual transmission. With only 3,862 examples produced in 1936, this ford deluxe roadster is a rare example of this model. It performs, runs and drives extremely well and will not disappoint.
Koto, whose career spanned nearly 40 years, later helped dick caleal model the 1949 ford and worked for raymond loewy on the 1953 studebaker. Although the car was in most respects a continuation of the best-selling 1935 models, a number of appearance changes made it seem almost completely new. By 1936 chevrolet had already begun to phase out open bodied cars in its top-of-the-line master deluxe series, foreshadowing a move toward closed, all-steel bodywork. While ford likewise was beginning to supplant its distinctive open body styles, phaeton and convertible sedan variants were still available on the standard and deluxe series, albeit in much smaller quantities. Of the nearly 800,000 ford motor cars produced in 1936, less than 6,000 were phaetons and they were priced at $590. This model 68 example is a breathtaking show winner with all the 1936 ford options including the dual windshield with wings, rear mounted spare and the luggage rack. Powered by the l-head 221ci 85hp v8 with a 3-speed manual transmission. Runs and drives as if new and will not disappoint. please note, this vehicle will be offered for sale only at the central pennsylvania auto auction, july 14th and 15th, 2017 in lock haven, pennsylvania.
