"1935 Ford Model 48 Fordor Slantback Sedan
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 Fordor slantback showing 13,828 miles but the true miles are unknown. Here's a street rodded version of a former pedestrian car in a fantastic color, harboring a Chevy engine and a Mustang II front suspension. But on the outside, it's pure Ford Fordor!
Exterior
Bathed in two stage Maroon Metallic, it's an especially fine color for the car and certainly a welcome departure from black or other basic colors of the era. It's a wonderful contrast with the 15 and 16-inch polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels which carry staggered size tires that accentuate the raked stance of the car. The color matched grille is a nice touch with polished cross trim under a heavily louvered hood. Horizontal polished trim also highlights the side vents on the side engine covers and with all open to the bay, the engine has plenty of breathing portals. Meanwhile, a fuchsia pinstripe runs around the entire shoulder line of the car, delineating the cab from the body, and a pinstripe flourish is found on the epic, sloping slantback rear. The back end terminates with a gently curved chrome bumper and square exhaust tips and a black running board occupies the side of the car in contrast to the rising fenders that surround the wheels. Flaws in the wine colored paint include some chips on the bottom of the grille, a ding, a spider crack, and some peeling paint from a body line.�
Interior
The black material on the doors is stitched with red thread for a beautiful match of the exterior and patterned with a ribbed insert over smooth panels and a carpeted kick panel. Billet hardware, electric window switches, and pleated map pockets also adorn the handsome doors. Black leather seats with red stitching are configured as buckets in front and a bench in back and all are in nice condition with easy access from the four doors. Clean lines and simplicity greet the driver with a 3 spoke sport steering wheel leading to a billet frame gauge cluster on the color keyed painted dash. White faced AutoMeter gauges form a line while a separate tachometer is found at the base of the steering column. The center stack houses an AM/FM/CD radio and a Vintage Air controller and vents along the lower dash panel will be the recipients of that cold air. A Lokar shifter is floor mounted and surrounded by very nice gray loop carpet pieces with black vinyl trim.�
Drivetrain
Black valve covers top a great looking engine, a clean 350ci Goodwrench Targetmaster crate V8 wearing an Edelbrock Performer intake and an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb. It's all linked to a 700R4 4-speed automatic routing the power to the Ford 9"" axle in back. Front disc brakes are matched with rear drums to give this 1935 a bit of modern stopping power. Polished and billet parts dress up the engine and will make the owner proud to lift the covers at a show!�
Undercarriage
Driver quality underneath with minimal surface rust, some oil on the pan and flywheel cover, and some seepage at the rear differential. The dual exhaust goes from headers to straight pipes leading to Cherrybomb muffler, then continuing along to find chrome tips in back. Suspension includes a Mustang II front end and leaf springs in the back.��
Drive-Ability
The trusty 350 fired right up and idled smoothly although we noticed some throttle stickiness. Our relatively flat test loop is probably better than the roads this car encountered in its younger days and as a result, the ride is smooth with just a hint of bounce. We have plenty of horsepower at our disposal and that's more than enough to propel this car at a good clip as we engage the mechanical disc brakes to slow the Fordor down. All the bells, whistles, and lights work in this well sorted build and with glistening burgundy paint, we return to the mall. 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.�
You can wave from the cozy cab of this car as it makes its way down the parade route or into the show. This is a fine example of a mid-30's Ford and a slantback to boot! If you have a gap in your collection and have been looking for this model, take a serious look at this well maintained compact street rod!
