Introduced as a mid-season 1936 model, the Convertible Touring Sedan with integral trunk was the first Ford of the 'modern' era to have its spare tire concealed within the body. This lovely example is finished in a rich brown exterior that's complimented by a saddle leather interior, for a timeless aesthetic that's sure to turn heads.
Under the hood, there's a 221 cu in (3.6 L) Flathead V8 engine, paired with a 3-speed sliding-mesh manual transmission. The engine runs smooth and pulls the Ford along with authority. The three speed manual shifts precisely and isn't a chore to operate. This big four door convertible rides on a neat set of red wheels rapped in fat white walled, bias-ply tires. The overall presentation reminds one of jazz clubs and speak easy's with long country drives on a Sunday afternoon.
The manual convertible top is a standout feature, allowing you to enjoy open-air drives on warm sunny days. Inside, the comfortable leather interior adds a touch of luxury making every journey in this classic Ford a unique experience.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
