1935 Ford Tudor Bustle-Back Sedan Vehicle 1935 Ford Tudor Bustle-Back Sedan Owner: AJ Contact Brian Location: Santa Ynez, California Email: Click Here Phone: 208-890-0337 Description Resting in the shade under a pair of stoic Oak Trees, in the middle of California Wine Country, this solid cabernet Tudor Trunk-Back model 48 sedan will amaze you with its original character and overall presence. It's not very often that you get the opportunity to view and enjoy a great looking survivor such as this. So, pop a cork, pour a glass and study the legs on this old girl... In 1935, Ford used the slogan Greater Beauty, Greater Comfort, and Greater Safety to help entice those dwindling buyers, who could still afford a car during the difficult era of the Great Depression. Completely restyled with a new chassis, the V8 engine was moved forward eight inches which dramatically increased the passenger area. Ford dubbed this redesign the 'Center-Poise Ride'... Body changes as compared to earlier design years included softer lines, less angles, narrower front grille which no longer came to a point, front fenders & hood decreased in length, fenders even with grill, shorter hood louvers with bright metal horizontal accents, eliminated cowl lamps, painted headlights and the last year with wire wheels & external horns. In a league of its own, Ford again made changes during the 1936 model year. Now onto this beauty... Sitting on its original chassis, she's powered by a period correct 221 cubic-inch eight cylinder V8 engine that was rated at 85 horsepower equipped with standard Stromberg 2bbl carburetor, 3 speed manual shift transmission and closed driveshaft conventional rear differential. Original four-wheel mechanically-actuated drum brakes provide the stopping power and updated aluminum radiator... Her body is absolutely solid and very straight, the dark maroon exterior finish shows extremely well, gorgeous grill & glistening bright work, cream wire wheels w/beauty rings, deluxe hub caps & bias ply tires, solid trunk tool wells, strong floor pans & fenders and original running boards & vulcanized covering, (nothing is overdone with expected light patina/use areas). The interior shows a wonderful factory waterfall dash fitted with a working original radio, very nice factory instrumentation, period air conditioning (dash fan :-), heater assembly (water not connected, restored reproduction upholstery, headliner, door/kick panels, armrests and carpet... In closing, this is a real gem that whispers at you, just like an old California Oak Tree, you will not be disappointed at its presence and obvious all around honesty. Putt Putt, load it up and lets' go...

The driver door jamb oil service plate from "Warren Anderson Ford - Eighth at Lime -Ninth at Market Riverside California" appears authentic, combined with the body quality, our thoughts lead toward original California origin.
