1935 Ford V-8 DeLuxe Three-Window Coupe

Chassis No.18C-10178

Model 48. 85 bhp, 221 cu.in. L-head V-8 engine, three-speed manual transmission, solid front axle and live rear axle with transverse semi-elliptic leaf springs, and four-wheel mechanical drum brakes. Wheelbase: 112 in.

The chassis numbers begin with the same “18” prefix as U.S.-built pre-war Fords but were then were followed by a “C” for Canada and a shorter serial sequence, due to the lower Canadian production.

This splendid Three-Window Coupe was originally sold in northern Ontario, where it was kept and maintained by its original owner until the 1960s. The next owner repainted it from the original blue to the current burgundy with black fenders. It changed hands again in 1972, at which time it showed some 42,000 miles. The current mileage, which is believed to be correct, is just short of 70,000.

The previous owner installed the period-correct Philco Transitone radio. The control head fits the ashtray location on the dashboard, as the Ford-accessory radio did. Aside from the paint, the car is original, with the upholstery showing only modest wear. The rear window shade is intact and operates perfectly. The original jack and tire tools are also included with the car.
