New design lines of beauty distinguished the new-for-1936 Ford V-8 – lines that accentuate the length and gave the car grace of motion. A longer hood was brought forward over the distinctive new radiator grille, plus newly designed fenders and wheels further contributed the impressive appearance. It was brought to the public with an assurance of exceptional value – and power – this being proven by its past history and the striving for improvement in the future.

The discriminating lines of the Ford V-8 are well emphasized in the Deluxe Tudor Sedan. It was presented in a modern manner, for the period, with rich and attractive interiors and upholstery, plus its appointments. Bucket-type front seats with form-fitting backs provided unusual comfort, plus both tilt forward. The interior in this particular car appears to be quite accurate and tidy in its mohair cloth presentation. A “banjo” steering wheel and hand-operated driver’s spotlight add to the period feel.

The pastel tone of the Tudor Sedan accentuates the cars fine lines and is highlighted by its chromed radiator grille and generous side louvers on the hood. “Spider” wheel covers, dual mirrors, Lincoln-style greyhound hood ornament, rear-mounted spare with matching metal cover and wide whitewall tires are also part of this wonderful and desirable Ford platform. An amazing figure of nearly 800,000 Ford automobiles were produced in 1936, of which the modest number of 20,519 were Deluxe Tudor Sedan models, far fewer have survived in such unchanged condition.
