Description:

1935 Ford Model 48 4-Door Convertible -
The Model 48 was an update on Ford's V8-powered Model 40A, the company's main product. Introduced in 1935, the Model 48 was given a cosmetic refresh annually, begetting the 1937 Ford before being thoroughly redesigned for 1941. The 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 sold. The 1935 Ford was a thorough refresh on the popular V8-powered Ford. The four-cylinder Model A engine was no longer offered, leaving just the 221 CID (3.6 L) V8 to power every Ford car and truck. The transverse leaf spring suspension remained, but the front spring was relocated ahead of the axle to allow more interior volume. The body was lowered and new Center-Poise seating improved comfort. Visually, the 1935 Ford was much more modern with the grille pushed forward and made more prominent by de-emphasized and more-integrated fenders. A major advance was a true integrated trunk on trunkback sedans, though the traditional flatback was also offered. Outdated body styles like the Victoria were also deleted for the year. Two trim lines were offered, standard and DeLuxe, across a number of body styles including a base roadster, five-window coupe, three-window coupe, Tudor and Fordor sedans in flatback or trunkback versions, a convertible sedan, a woody station wagon, and new Model 51 truck. Rumble seats were optional on coupe model. An oil pressure gauge($4) and two windshield wipers were optional.[1] If one got the optional radio, it replaced the ash tray.
T​his fine automobile is an older restoration showing some use. Original Flathead 221 V-8, 3spd. transmission, std. drive train. Nice leather seat upolstery, nice top. Always stored in climate controlled garage. Recently rebuilt carburetor and distributor. New sealed style water pumps, hoses and belts. Runs like a well oiled machine. Very nice and solid automobile. Only 4234 Built and originally sold for $750.00 in 1935. There are about 254 known to exist in the United States. This is a rare opportunity to own this very rare automobile. Thanks For Looking!
