In 1937 Ford adopted all-steel construction for its closed bodies discarding the fabric roof insert of the past. Evidence of streamlining was ample in the handsome new styling. Headlamps were now incorporated into the front fenders, the grille was stretched and sloped backwards at the top, and fine horizontal bars decorated the front end and hood sides. The result was one of the best looking cars of the decade; even President Franklin DeLano Roosevelt bought a four-door convertible sedan, like this car, to use at his Warm Springs, Georgia retreat.

The professionally nut and bolt, restored Ford offered here is an “All Weather” model fitted with manual roll-down windows. This Ford originally came from the famous Dingman Ford Collection. The outside of the Ford is finished nicely with dark blue paintwork which is highlighted by excellent brightwork, tan folding top, dual windshield wipers, whitewall tires, polished wheel covers and a driver’s side view mirror. Powering this sedan is a flathead V-8 engine that is connected to a manual transmission. The interior is tailored with a banjo steering wheel, woodgrain dash, white face gauges and tan upholstery.
