1936 Ford Cabriolet Custom For your consideration, I have listed here a true work of art.

This is the result of years and years of thinking, studying, planning, and finally constructing what the owner felt was the perfect late ’30′s fat fendered Ford custom.

Inspired by the work of Harry Westergard, the owner liked the lines of a ’36 Ford, but felt it to be too short for that long, low look.

He also felt the trunk lid on a ’36 looked lost in the rear body.

The solution: graft a ’40 Ford rear clip to the ’36 cab cowl and doors.

The bodies were grafted at the door post, but the wrap around upper body panel was left from the ’36, allowing for the use of ’36 top irons.

This stretched the wheelbase approxiamately 4-5″ and cleaned the trunk area up with the nicer lines of the ’40.

That fulfilled the “long”, now for the “low”.

The body is sectioned over the chassis to bring it closer to earth, and the rockers are reworked to eliminate the running boards.

Then the front fenders were peaked at the back, and moved upward towards the hood to line up with the rockers.

In order to accomplish this, the hood sides as well as the grill had to be sectioned.

The hood tops were combined and hinged at the rear.

The fronts of the rear fenders were also reworked to elinimate the running boards, and a pair of custom stone guards were fabricated and installed.

Finally the whole body was massaged and painted with PPG basecoat/clearcoat urethane and color sanded and polished to perfection.

All that is placed on a custom, tubular chassis with a Heidt’s Superide independent front suspension, Corvette independent rear, and power 4 wheel disc brakes.

The engine is a crate unit from Street and Performance.

It is a 350 TPI, chromed and polished everywhere.

Transmission is a 700R4 with a Lokar shifter.

Interior ammenities include a Glide Engineering seat, Vintage Air, Flaming River tilt column, Vintage Air, and leather upholstery.

This car is not only gorgeous, it works.

Starts, runs, stops, steers and drives fantastic.

It is quiet, tight, smooth, comfortable and reliable.

I am selling this car for the owner due to age and an over-abundance of cars.

It’s time to “thin the heard” as he says.
