 | Standard Coupe
|
In the mid-thirties automotive sales were dwindling. Cars had to be updated each year if a company was to survive. Ford had inaugurated a two-year design cycle in 1933 but their 1935 models received fresh new styling and a newly designed chassis. The 1935 Fords would mark the end of several long standing Ford features including wire-spoke wheels, and external horns.
This car was purchased by the present owner in San Diego in 1971. The majority of the Ford coupes from this era did not survive the hot rod craze that took place in the late 40's and early 50's in their original form. This coupe is currently the same as when it left the Ford factory including even the bulb type headlights.
