Ford Other 1935
General description :
The brand Matford was created by the collaboration between the manufacturers Mathis and Ford and is almost forgotten. Emil Mathis was a french car pioneer. He worked with De Dietrich and Bugatti and in 1906, the Auto Mathis Palace in Straßburg was Germany’s largest car dealer (the Alsace region was part of Germany at the time). Starting in 1925 Mathis cooperated with the American car industry and together with Ford, founded the Matford brand in 1934.Our sporty Cabriolet Matford V8-48 comes with a body by Labourdette. Its high-torque V8-engine still drives confidently today. One of its specialties is the 2-gear rear axle from Columbia (USA). This gives you 6 forward gears and its engine speed can be decreased by 30%. This rare classic is completely restored, both technically as well as visually, verified by extensive photo documentation. The story of the Matford brand is a fascinating one and a classic like this one stands out from other pre-war models!

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.
