Seller's comments about 1936' Ford Model 68
1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe Fordor Sedan
For consignment, a 1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe Fordor sedan with a title-verified 17,503 actual miles. This car was subject to a frame-off restoration in the early 2000s and it has held up well. We see our share of prewar Fords at Classic Auto Mall, and this one is a head-turner!
Exterior
The narrow, upright grille is rendered even more stately by the amber fog lights and the outstretched Greyhound hood ornament, and it’s all uphill from there! Gleaming two-stage Washington Blue paint covers the steel panels bisected by a single cream-colored pinstripe. Hood vents are lined with polished trim which complements the other polished elements including the slim grille surround, the bold bumpers, and the hubcaps and beauty rings on the 16-inch artillery wheels which are color-keyed to the body. Whitewall tires cap off the classy look while a leather-clad Varco trunk is mounted in back behind an encased spare tire. Imperfections include touched-up scratches and chips on a fender and numerous other spots, and some dry rot on the rubber coating of the running board.
Interior
Tan cloth is the perfect offset to the blue exterior and begins on the stitched door panels with front and rear facing each other as the back doors are reverse hinged. Inside, light tan broadcloth covers the front bench with ample cushioning and the configuration is mirrored in back, affording the occupants ample leg and headroom. Simple elegance continues to the front where a basic black steering wheel fronts the taupe painted dash and ivory-colored gauges and Art Deco trim. The rearview mirror has an embedded clock which was likely an expensive endeavor for Ford as it’s rarely seen. Rubber coating surrounds the floor-based shifter and the stitched cloth headliner shows a touch of age staining but is fully intact.
Drivetrain
Behind the engine covers is a 221ci flathead V8, rated at 90 horsepower and fueled via a 2-barrel carburetor. It’s clean and original looking and mated to a 3-speed manual transmission that sends power to the 4.11 gears in the rear axle. The car remains on a 6-volt system and authentic tools from 1936 come with the car.
Undercarriage
During restoration, the frame was painted black and remains clean. A single exhaust carries a stock-style muffler on its way to rear exit and mechanical drum brakes are equipped front and rear. As common for the time, transverse leaf springs are utilized front and rear.
Drive-Ability
Let’s see if functionality matches aesthetics on this fully restored car and after a quick start, we roll this beauty onto the test loop and find a good-running car with straight tracking. Of note is the horn and trip odometer, all of which are currently not working. We also note that the radio turns on but produces no sound. All other functions operate as they should and we fly the flathead back to the stable. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of the test drive, they cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of purchase.
This is a fine Fordor with a beautiful blue-on-tan spec, and we can only imagine how special it felt to drive in 1936. Well, for a whole new set of reasons, it’s special to drive today, 90 years after it first hit the roads of America. It had a tune-up and new battery in December so this Deluxe is ready for delivery!
