    My folks bought theirs used for $375 in 1937, black with red pin-striping. A Navy Pharmacist Mate, with a wife and one son they were transferred many times. He sold the car in 1947 with over 250K miles on the odometer and Wolf's Head motor oil in the crankcase. He was riveting new brake linings on the shoes while Pearl Harbor was being attacked. Post WWII a fellow officers new Mercury was totaled from the back. Dad was able to obtain the new engine for $40 and replaced the tired Ford unit. The manual engine crank was used many times, batteries were stolen, no interstate, limited roadside services. Thanks. Narragansett Bay

I absolutely love that truck as my daily truck it’s so different than anything else. Best part about it is when you’re driving anywhere specially when you get in town and there’s 1 million other cars around you you’re the only one in something different. Looks different sounds different acts different drives different and I absolutely love it. Another positive when you go to a store when you look out in the parking lot very easy to find =)

    Center dial is the AM radio. I grew up with AM still the only choice, besides shortwave for overseas broadcasts. The best stations were the Clear Channels, meaning they shared their frequency with no other broadcaster and could turn up the power. The strongest ever civilian Clear Channel AM was WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio. For a time it broadcast with 500,000 watts and could be received as far as Bangor, Maine, El Paso, Texas and Miami, Florida. But the FCC eventually reeled them in because WLW was bleeding over into other frequencies. Clear Channel AM still exists, but not much power or content anymore. Except, WSM in Nashville broadcasts the longest continuously running radio show on this planet. THE GRAND OL' OPRY is 97 in September.

    I believe the switch is really a dummy cover. In some 36 Fords, I’ve seen the ignition switch there. In this case, I believe it’s there to balance the instrument cluster. WYR is Ford and Ford for me this time around. Thank you as always - well done and I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into these ~ Chuck

    I always thought that '36 Fords were beautiful. The first one I ever saw was in about 1966 or '67 on a vacation with my parents. We were stopped overnight at a Best Western in Kansas on our way to Ohio to visit relatives. I saw this car parked about two rooms down from us. It was a bright red (probably non-factory color) Four door convertible sedan '36 Ford. I was just absolutely taken with it! The only reason I knew what it was, was because my Dad told me (He was born in 1922 and knew his cars pretty well from the late 20's to the mid 60's.).

    Choices, the Lafayette and the Studebaker. The feature car is a Ford Standard, not a De Luxe. The exterior tells are the painted grille and windshield frame. The interior tells are the lack of front armrests and dashboard center trim. The car does have a number of options/accessories encluding the hood ornament, radio and right sun visor and taillight.

And lots of options and accessories as you mention great choices too by the way I would love to find a 36 Lafayette to review classic automotive had one but it was resto mod it and when I saw it I almost cried because everything that made that car beautiful whoever did it got rid of all of the charm that that car possessed.

    The item in the center of the dashboard is a factory installed AM radio. The left knob below the channel dial is the on/off and volume control, the right knob is the radio station selector. Radios were first installed in automobiles in the 1931 Hudson. FM radios would not be available for several more decades.

It’s about preservation I try to run this channel as a community were 342 episodes in at this very moment September 21 is our second year anniversary I try to make five videos a week sometimes more sometimes less and at least one engine episode on Wednesdays.. we used to do these episodes called discussion episodes on Fridays but I got really busy this summer and I wasn’t able to do that but I would love to go back to that outside the box kind of episode. Plus it breaks up the cars as well it’s still talking about cars but we’re not talking about this particular car in the discussion episodes.

I don’t believe this one had the chrome around the window and it was chrome according to the advertisement right with this car being as old as it is it could’ve been painted.. So it’s in a bit of a gray area and Classic Ca so it’s in a bit of a gray area and Classic Automall listing doesn’t have it listed as anything other than a standard.. so that would be 48 It’s just really confusing lol

    I'm a collector of early Fords and I restore Packard's for fun. The dial FYI is the AM radio tuning dial. I have a hole with no early V8, 5 model T's and an early model A. The 36 has great styling and major upgrades from the 32 V-8.

    Hi Jay. I find 36 Fords very attractive, and this one looks like it has original paint. Not original is the interior, the headlights (the originals were much more convex), and there is an extra box of electrics on the firewall. I wonder if that might be for an electronic ignition? The exhaust tip and exterior mirrors are aftermarket. The triangular bumper thingie you mentioned is aftermarket too, though a third centre overrider may have been a factory option. Cheers.

    The headlamps are not original, but sealed beam units which are 1940 or later the original units would have the lenses going all the way to the trim rings with no discernable gap between the lens and trim rings.

It was no problem, just one of the things I remember from reading in the past and the aligning pins on the headlights made me pause for a moment and if you look at the headlights on cars made in 1939 and those from 1940 all cars sold in the US used sealed beams 1940 on until about 1986 when the restrictions were lifted due to improved lighting systems that made sealed beams obsolete.

    36 Plymouth (a great car) 36 Studebaker The 36 Ford body style is considered the gold standard of Ford's styling during the 30's. A favorite of hot rodders and restomoders but there's still some stock ones left out there. Ford's level of interior wasn't yet up to the standards of GM and others While somewhat plain looking it was a functional and decent sized interior space. Ford sales were suffering somewhat due to GM's better fit and finish of their interiors , so Ford made some changes mid-year to the styling and fabrics offered to try and compete more closely with GM . However Ford still hadn't mastered the one piece turret top (they would by 37). GM had, and they effectively used it against Ford in sales pitches. Also GM did it with Ford's mechanical brakes versus their new hydraulic braking system. Ford's use of mechanical brakes and their inherent design weaknesses when combined with the new Ford wheels which if not torqued properly tended to exacerbate the problem were really hurting Ford badly in sales. Even though the model 68 had bettered Ford's 35 model year sales, they still couldn't come out on top. GM and especially Plymouth which had a banner year in sales. Which was well deserved since they had put out a great car in 36. So Ford ended up number three. Due mainly to Henry Ford's stopping any new engineering he didn't personally like. By 36 Ford was beginning to realize that It's transverse leaf spring suspensions were becoming problematic as cars got larger and heavier and it was harder and harder for Ford to tune those for a smoother ride. Still the V8 had cooling issues. Both the 34 Fords and the 35 Fords quickly gained reputations as overheaters and vapor lockers much as the years before them had. They corrected quite a bit of that problem in 36 with the model 68. Increasing the cooling capacity to 22 quarts and increasing the radiator frontal area into 391 square inches. They added a radiator tank extension. Then they added larger louvers stamped into the inner front fender panels. That assisted in airflow out of the engine compartment especially helpful because the air would flow right by the exhaust manifolds and out the louvers. That help the 36 become a little bit better as far as overheating was concerned. Yet the Flathead design flaw in it's exhaust system routing was always a continuing problem for Ford. It hung around the flathead until the day it was last used getting a little better each year but still the inherent problems were always there. In fact by 1936 other manufacturers weren't having overheating issues with their cars, and in fact the American public had finally gotten to the point where great styling and fast car or not. They were not willing to put up with a car that didn't operate properly in any weather or usage. The handwriting was on the wall. Big changes were needed if Ford was to regain their lead in sales. Most of this information came from the book "Ford In The Thirties" . ISBN 0-8227-0644-X A must have for any serious vintage car aficionado. In fact I just recently bought another one because I worn out the first one I bought. LOL
