The look was updated with a new grill, and now a number of new bodystyles. The Phaeton was a popular body, especially for those who still liked to ride with the wind in their face.
Ford made continued changes throughout the 1930's, but these earlier models marked a directional change for Ford that helped lead the company to the leadership position it enjoyed for many years.

Henry Ford owned his own forest, known as Iron Mountain, where he grew maple, birch, gum, and basswood. This was used for his station wagons, commonly known as the 'Woodies'. Framing and structure in these cars were of hard maple. Henry was very adamant about not allowing knots in the product. The side panels were of cross-grained exterior birch or gum plywood. Roof slats were made of basswood.
This 1936 Ford Station Wagon features front windows and side curtains for all other windows. There is a rare period radio, spotlight, dual white wall tires with trim rings, three-row seating, and metal spare tire cover. The 1936 Fords were fitted with equipment such as safety glass, dual sun visors, dual tail lights, dual hors, and even a cigar lighter.
This vehicle is chassis number 82797048 and has Murray Body Number 790-3523. It has a wheelbase that measures 112-inches and a live axle suspension with transverse leaf springs.

The 'new Ford' was introduced in October 1927 after months of anxious anticipation by the motoring public. The new car had some similarities to the Model T but was a very different automobile. Without doubt, the car's appearance was strongly influenced by the Lincoln motorcar, prompting many to refer to the new Ford as a 'baby Lincoln.'
Most significantly, the Model A was the first Ford that was truly designed - and Edsel Ford played a major role. By 1931, he had hired the company's first true designer, E.T. 'Bob' Gregorie, who became Ford's first design chief.
