Beautiful 1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe Phaeton Sedan
The next highly desirable classic to our Benicia showroom is this beautiful 1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe Phaeton 4 Door Sedan with gloss black exterior paint, a tan soft top and brown leather and woodgrain interior.  You’ll find a 221 cid flathead V-8 engine under the hood with a three-speed manual transmission and this prestigious classic handles nicely on the open road.  With countless original parts/accessories and sensational curb appeal, you must see this beautiful convertible in person to truly appreciate all it has going for it.
Highly Original w/ Fantastic Body Lines
The current owner of this 1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe Phaeton purchased it all the way back in 1978.  He informs us that he has always loved this well-kept classic due to the high originality of the car and the condition it’s been kept in for nearly the past century.  As you can see from the photographs, the interior is absolutely immaculate with negligible amounts of wear to the period correct seating, gauges and steering wheel.  The carriage-like rear seat is also in excellent condition and provides ample room for a 3rd and 4th passenger.  Additionally, the exterior is in very nice condition with a nice shine to the paint and very clean body lines, so this stellar example needs very little to be a true standout in any serious collection.
In terms of performance, this 1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe Phaeton Sedan starts easily and has nice acceleration along the highway.  A closer inspection shows that many parts and accessories on this desirable classic appear to be period correct, although we cannot certify what may or may not be original on this 80+ year old classic.  As we mentioned earlier, this one really needs to be seen in person and test driven to truly appreciate- these types of highly original classics simply do not surface very often.
Enjoyed by Current Owner for Past 40 Years
Overall, this 1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe Phaeton is one of the cleanest, most outstanding examples we have ever seen and the current asking price may be a bit too conservative for such and impressive vehicle.  This classic would be perfect for car shows and parades, or even a showpiece for a local business to make passing cars to take notice.  It will not last at this price.  For more information about this vehicle, visit our Benicia, California showroom, give us a call at 707-748-4000, or email us at Sales@SpecialtySales.com.  Be sure to mention Stock # B11395 as well.

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
