THE 1936 FORD

For 1936, Ford did a bit of clever design work to freshen their lineup for the new model year without resorting to extensive and costly retooling. The chassis and bodies carried over from the previous model year but got new front-end styling reshaped resulting in a striking new look. Numerous mechanical refinements were made to improve cooling, drivability, and reliability. Standard and Deluxe trim lines continued, along with an array of open and closed body styles to ensure Ford buyers could get exactly the car that fit their needs. The 1936 Ford remains hugely popular with collectors and hotrodders alike, and they are renowned for their delightful road manners and beautiful 1930s styling.
