Ford Roadster 1936

General description : In what sometimes seems like an endless sea of yellow hot rods, red coupes and black roadsters, it's always nice to find a custom that stands out from the crowd. After all, isn't the true spirit of hot rodding to create something exclusive? Well, if you're looking for a classic that's subtle, well executed, exclusive and at the same time unique, RK Motors Charlotte has the car for you. Built from the ground up, this sweet 1936 Ford roadster mixes serious show credentials with a relaxed driving experience! BRILLIANT BUT COOL So many hot rods are built for show, with little chance of ever rolling the street. Paraded around on trailers and locked behind red ropes, these cars are amazing to look at but often not that fulfilling from an ownership perspective. And therein lies the beauty of this cool Ford. Built to show alongside the best trailer queens, it can also handily keep up with most street bruisers. Assembly started when a Fairlane fiberglass body was married to a steel hood, steel fenders and steel running boards. Once that union was smooth and solid, unique R-M 2-stage took the form of Brilliant Copper and Chrysler Cool Vanilla. And those opposite but complementary colors were divided by a tan pinstripe that coordinates nicely with the car's Ultraleather interior and Hartz retractable top. At the front of this custom, a contoured '36 Ford bumper frames custom '37 Ford headlights that have been finished with an HID conversion and LED turn signals. A Brilliant Copper grille features excellent looking stainless that flows over a 4-piece hood en route to a custom windshield. That shield, chopped by 3.5 inches, props a hand-operated Bob Drake wiper under a quality Haartz top. Shaved door handles mean that flash is scarce, with curved mirrors, original-style hinges and polished strakes being the only brightwork on the car's silky profile. And at the back of that profile, a second '36 Ford bumper splits the difference between polished exhaust, a polished fuel cap and LED-lit '35 Ford taillights. TRADITIONAL BUT BETTER Fold the hood and you'll find 350 cubic inches of polished and color matched small block that's ready for miles of effortless cruising! A polished air cleaner shuffles wind into a 600cfm Edelbrock Endurashine carburetor that's complete with braided fuel lines. At the bottom of that Lokar-controlled carb, a chromed Edelbrock Performer EPS intake reflects billet valve covers and a stainless-trimmed GM HEI distributor. Fired by quality American Auto Wire wiring, that distributor shoots sparks through blue Summit Racing wires, which trace familiar billet looms. Cooling is provided by an aluminum Griffin radiator. Spent gases exit through coated shorty headers. And aesthetically, the car's body-matched engine bay features a stack of cool accessories, like a polished alternator, a coated fuel pump, billet pulleys, billet brackets and a trick transmission dipstick. TRADITIONAL BUT BETTER, TOO Bottom-side, a boxed, Fatman-style frame has been powder-coated to match both this Ford's engine block and copper-tinged body. That chassis gets pushed by a color-keyed Ford 9-inch that's finished with fun, 3.70 gears. That pumpkin is led by modern power rack-and-pinion steering, which sails a familiar Mustang II suspension that's finished with tubular control arms and polished coil-overs. A body-matched 700R4 4-speed uses a Bowler Lock Up to provide reliable shifts. Stops are achieved through 11-inch, power assisted discs and reliable, power-assisted drums. True-dual exhaust feeds Jegs Performance mufflers. A steady flow of fossils streams from a Bob Drake fuel tank. And power meets the pavement through 15-inch, powder-coated steelies, which lap polished trim rings and '50 Merc centers. CUSTOM BUT VINTAGE Inside the car, a '40 Ford bench rolls supple Ultraleather skin between tasteful Ultraleather door panels and a slick Ultraleather cowl that's branded with a classic Ford 'V8' script. In front of that ledge, a '40 Ford dash wraps Brilliant Copper pigment around full Dolphin instrumentation and choice billet trim. A trusty Lokar shifter, paired with Lokar cables and a Lokar emergency brake, props a color-keyed boot on Prairie Tan carpet and thick sound insulation. Tunes come courtesy of a remote-controlled Sony Xplod CD player, which is smartly hidden in the car's glove box. A tilting Billet Specialties column spins an ornate Billet Specialties wheel. And behind the passengers, a wood-trimmed trunk rolls soft Ultraleather around a second prominent Ford 'V8' script. Looking for a cool classic that's both spectacular and outside the norm?

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.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
