The Convertible Sedan is one of the most popular body styles fitted on the Ford V-8 chassis and the 1936 model, with its restyled grille and fenders, is certainly among the most attractive. Powered by the respected 221-cid flathead V-8, the Ford boasted 85 horsepower but 148-lb/ft of torque, making these cars a delight to drive at low rpm. The thump of each cylinder and the flathead’s unmistakable exhaust note is like music to an enthusiast’s ears. Ford made only 5,601 Convertible Sedans in 1936, making this very nicely-equipped and presented example quite the uncommon find.

Gracefully wearing a quality-oriented and comprehensive older restoration, this Ford Deluxe is finished in a striking creamy yellow with a brown interior and tan cloth top piped in brown. An enclosed rear-mounted spare, Ford script exhaust deflector and Ford script foglights add some distinction to this timeless design, and the whole package rides on red steel spoke wheels with large hubcaps, trim rings and Firestone whitewall tires. The interior features a woodgrain dash, banjo steering wheel, dash clock and Ford radio. These amenities, along with rollup windows and accessory turn signals, make this an ideal tour car. A restoration that has been driven but carefully preserved, it is a thoroughly drivable and comfortable automobile with room for the whole family in fair weather with the top down or snugly secure inside the top and behind the rollup windows if it turns rainy or cold.
