1936 Ford Deluxe 5-Window Coupe

Every so often a build surfaces that transcends the ordinary, and this 1936 Ford Deluxe 5-Window Coupe is exactly that kind of automobile. Professionally constructed from the ground up by the acclaimed craftsmen at Miller Brothers Hot Rod Barn in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, this all-steel coupe is the result of a no-compromise, frame-off build finished to an exceptional standard. Draped in rich GM Autumn Maple two-stage paint that flatters every Art Deco-inspired curve, and appointed with a custom Saddle Leather interior, it marries prewar Ford elegance with proven Chevrolet V8 muscle and thoroughly modern chassis engineering. This is a street rod equally at home carving the open highway or gracing the concours lawn — and for the discerning collector who values authenticity, craftsmanship, and enduring style, it represents a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire a build done right.
