Ford’s philosophy was for every Ford car to represent the “Ford ideal” of economical, efficient transportation for all the people. The new Ford V-8 for 1935 did all of that and more. It combined then-modern ideas of comfort and beauty to great effect.
This represents a very popular car that, in period, was considered as unquestionably one of the most handsome cars on the road. The Ford Model 48 Five-Window Coupe had ample passenger room, the option of a rumbleseat, a lowering rear window, plus luxurious upholstery and appointments. The cowllights had been removed from all Ford cars to not obstruct the sweeping lines.
This example has been nicely body-off restored and is powered by the legendary 221-cid, 85-hp flathead V-8 engine paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Further equipment includes a radio, Ford cabin heater, dual mirrors, bumper guards, rear-mounted spare with hard cover, amber lenses in foglights, banjo steering wheel, woodgrain dash fascia, wire wheels and whitewall tires.
