1936 saw Ford reach several milestones. Perhaps the most important was this: that year Ford Motor Company earned $17.9 million dollars. 1936 also saw the twenty millionth Ford built. The success of the flathead V-8 was endorsed in the market by the production of the three millionth V-8 engine. It was a year of consolidation and realization of the tremendous investments that Ford had been making in design, development and production.

This 1936 Ford Club Cabriolet is painted in a rich burgundy, which accentuates the length and beauty of the car along with nice brightwork and a rear-mounted spare tire with a matching painted hard cover. Powering the car is the tried and proven 221-cid V-8 flathead engine with 85-hp. Shifting gears is a three-speed sliding gear manual transmission. This Ford is rolling on wide whitewall tires with spider wheel trim. The canvas top is finished in tan with a matching brown interior that is accented by a nicely presented wood dashboard.

The Ford offered here is one of 4,616 examples produced; it is said to have won an AACA Grand National.
