One of the most iconic designs to leave Ford, and arguably one of the most collectible amongst many Ford enthusiasts, the 1935 model year highlights many great achievements for Ford. A new art deco influence on design made it a clear success based on sales that year. The modern styled grill was pushed outward incorporating the fenders more naturally, along with providing a slightly larger, more accommodating interior space for occupants.
This beautifully kept 1935 Ford Model 48 DeLuxe Phaeton is finished in striking Cordoba Gray over Brown Leather interior and accented perfectly with Poppy Red wire spoke wheels and pinstripe! The folding convertible top is Oatmeal cloth with brown binding with new boot cover from LeBaron Bonney. Power comes from its original 221ci V8-48 Flathead engine featuring correct 21-stud aluminum heads & Stromberg downdraft carburetor and 3-speed manual transmission. It produces a factory rated 85 horsepower and 144 ft. lbs. of torque! Options on this Deluxe model include rear-mounted spare tire with steel cover, full dash instrumentation, outside rearview mirrors, leaping greyhound hood ornament, Twolite headlamps, Duolamp taillights, beveled interior rearview mirror, original AM radio with under dash speaker, dual chrome Spartan horns, pop-up cowl vent, correct wire wheels fitted with Firestone dual-sided Deluxe Champion wide whitewall tires, chrome trim rings & hubcaps, date-coded wind wings, vacuum windshield wiper, front & rear bumper guards, and standard 4-wheel drum brakes.
This car possesses an all-steel Ford body and fenders showcasing a high-quality restoration completed in approximately 1996. It earned an AACA Senior National First Prize supporting exacting period restoration standards. It has been driven only sparingly since completion as it was mostly recently part of a California multi-car collection, showing only 824 miles on this fully rebuilt driveline over the last 30 years. It continues to start and run easily and incredibly smooth, driving with precise transmission shifts and confident brakes.
It presents a superb opportunity for a savvy investor to own a remarkable car in proven show worthy condition! It will also come with a complete set of new side curtains & irons, convertible boot cover; both with storage bags and an incredible set of vintage Ford tools, tire pump, Stewart Warner grease gun, and past California registrations dated to 2011. Note: the convertible top material has faded and aged, so it doesn't like to fold back as well as it should with the material being relatively stiff. We would recommend a replacement to bring it back to peak show-worthy status. Interested parties can inquire about having this completed prior to taking delivery. Otherwise, it is ready to enjoy and one to be proud to show confidently at the driven class level, especially Early Ford V8 Club events! Only 6,073 Ford DeLuxe Phaetons would be sold in 1935 making them exceedingly rare to find today! Please call with additional questions or to schedule an appointment to view in person. You won't be disappointed!
