A redesign to the Ford V8 in 1935 moved the engine forward eight inches and increased the size of the passenger compartment. The radiator grille was now even with the front fenders and the hood decreased in length. Ford dubbed this redesign the 'Center-Poise Ride'.
This vehicle is powered by a 221 cubic-inch eight cylinder engine that produces 85 horsepower. Four-wheel mechanically-actuated drum brakes provide the stopping power. The three-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels.
This Deluxe Phaeton with chassis number 181983449 was sold at the 2006 RM Auctions in Meadow Brook. It was estimated to sell between $50,000 - $60,000, which it did, but just barely. It sold for $50,600. | |
