"1935 Ford Model 48 3 Window Deluxe Coupe
The Model 48 was an update on Ford's V8 powered Model 40A, the company's main product. In 1935, Ford's combination of price, practicality, and looks vaulted the company ahead of rival Chevrolet for the sales crown that year, with 820,000 total cars sold, 120,000 of which were 4 door, 4 passenger Fordor models.�
For consignment, a 1935 Ford Model 48 3 window Deluxe coupe with a title verified 13,027 actual miles. A build that includes a 1936 nose, a 1972 Chevrolet engine, a 1955 Ford dash, and a 1999 transmission. All massaged together on this steel bodied beauty, and along with some chopping, shaving, and first rate components, adds up to show stopping street rod you see here.�
Exterior
The stance is one of a stalking big cat, low and raked with rear haunches in a poised profile. It's fronted by that '36 grille and monochromatic coverage of the Royal Maroon Metallic two stage paint appears dripping wet and includes the grille fins. Front air bag suspension renders the front wheel arches low when parked, covering much of the Halibrand wheel, like a retracted cat claw, stealthy and mean looking. In back, the wheel housing has been narrowed 3"" to make way for the 10"" Halibrands with 255/70R15's. The rounded deck lid is part of the long descent of the tail section, unobstructed by emblems or pinstriping, just a clean plain of maroon paint flanked by modest blue dot tail lights and underscored by a '38 Ford bumper that's been skillfully trimmed while dual exhaust move beyond it. The chopped top features a retractable rear window and polished trim around the front. Some rock chips and streaks in the paint mark the only exterior imperfections.�
Interior
Saddle Naugahyde in a column pleated pattern covers the door and even encircles the window frame for some extra detail! Leather covers the stock seat and other some usage creasing on the driver's side, presents in excellent and clean condition. Facing forward, exterior paint color starts on the Impala steering wheel and the turn signal stalk from a 1966 VW Beetle and an added tachometer shares the column. Up front, a '55 Ford dashboard trimmed and painted, houses classic gauges and vintage switches while Air Ride controls and Vintage Air are mounted underneath. The glove box holds the A/C panel and AM/FM/MP3 radio. A Hurst shifter rises from the floor which is nicely coated with tan carpet with saddle trim while the back walls and headliner wear the smooth Naugahyde along with plenty of accent lighting. The trunk is fully finished with carpet and presents cleanly.��
Drivetrain
More maroon paint adorns the 454ci under the hood, bored .030 over and housing a mild performance cam, roller rockers, an Edelbrock intake and 750cfm 4-barrel carburetor. Sanderson cast iron headers can be seen on the open engine. Behind it all, a rebuilt Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission which routes power to the Ford 9"" rear with 4.56 gears and Richmond Posi unit. Disc brakes live up front while drums reside in the back. The car runs on a 12 volt system.�
Undercarriage
Clean underneath with a distinctive red painted driveshaft and rear axle. The dual exhaust runs from the headers dressed in heat wrap, then flows through Edelbrock mufflers before heading out the back. Suspension consists of air bags in front and Chassis Engineering leaf springs in back.�
Drive-Ability
Even with the chop, there's plenty of room on the inside of this comfortable cabin. With a turn of the key and a lift of the nose, we were off in this '35 rod, and a fantastic exhaust note reached our ears in short order. With nearly 20 years on the tires, we're going to feather our way around the track, but there's some obvious good power here, straight tracking, and using both mirrors and all windows, visibility is more than adequate. This well sorted car scores 100 on the functionality test and we roll this fine vehicle back to the mothership. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.�
If you swoon for maroon, if you're looking for a neat 48, if you want to give the nod to a show worthy street rod, this is the car you've been waiting for. A/C, a sound system, a fun stick, a clean interior, dual exhaust, and big big presence, this car checks all the boxes. Just write the check and sign on the dotted line and drive off in a maroon blur.
