So I buy this old 1936 Ford Cabriolet custom out of a garage falling down...UPDATED!!

Very cool find!!

 

That 34 is mine, just set the top on it to see what it would look like.

 

Bitchin' ! ! ! ! get it going,...we're all waiting !

Post pics!!!

 

That will never happen. He loves that car and told me he will be burried in it. Don was telling me stories about driving it to California, and the Women he picked up in it! Don sounds like he was quite the ladies man

 

The top looks killer on the 34 Chris, if you ever part with the Cleveland topper I get first crack please ! LOL

 

Damn Chris...what the hell are ya gonna do with that? That's way more work than the typical Ford "bolt together" shit...you may actually have to cut and weld...haha...nice find dude!
The Corvette rules too.....

Naw.....just all the pre-war flathead powered stuff...

 

I kinnda like it, but if you want it that bad make me an offer

 

Man, that interior is Killer! Very nice! Kinda looks like the old "cracked ice" vinyl they used on the chrome Kitchen tables in the early 50's.

 

Its great that he kept everything and didn't lose or sell it off a little at a time. Just a great looking car. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

 

Yeah, I guess I really don't do much with these ol cars except just bolt shit on em. I drive cars how I like em...souped up bangers and flatheads, juice brakes, dropped axles, reverse springs, and a mix-n-match of early Ford parts. And thats fine, I like my stuff how I like it. If we all like the same shit, we would all drive the same car. I never bag on a guy for liking a 60's or 70's era built car, even though that just aint my style.

 

Oh settle down....just givin' ya shit for a car outta your "norm"....

 

I'll send ya a PM . Really like the 34...

 

a 36 3window ? Model 77's ( 33-36 ) were 5 window coupes . I just sold a 36 , I have a 40 as well , now thats a 3 window !

 

I'm not typically a "Ford" guy but this is a GREAT find and a GREAT experiance too ! You have some treasure there ! Can't wait to see it with all the life you breathe back into it !

 

Not in Australia.

 

what is that stuff on the seats ...

 

My flat black and flamed Willys Hotrod is a 1936 3 Window Coupe that was made by Holden and it has a 1933 Willys front and its all steel as well.

 

Yep, that bumper appears to be a 48/49 Buick rear bumper.

 

My friend Ron ended up buying the car, he has parts of another 36 cabriolet that will help him put this one back together!

 

I hope one of the conditions of the sale was a detailed build thread!!

 

Well Ron has not had this car for more then a couple days and not wasting any time! He cutthe quarters off, looks 100% better!

 

Saved another one....cool

 

Is he planning to un-section it as well?

 

Very cool looks better allready! So what are his plans??

 

i know its a little hokey...but i kinda like what the old man did with it. but then again my wife tells me im weird.

 

Very neat to have,fun to see.

 

I'm with you, I like the sectioned look.

This is the type of thread that keeps me coming back to the HAMB. Great find. Please keep us updated.

 

Congratulations to Ron, hope he starts his own thread on the rebuild. There were two Cabriolet body styles in 1936, this one looks like the Club Cabriolet that had the larger top and jumpseats in the back, is it?
