221ci Flathead V-8 Single 2-Barrel Downdraft Carburetor 85bhp at 3,800rpm 3-Speed Manual Transmission 4-Wheel Semi-Elliptical Leaf Spring Suspension 4-Wheel Drum Brakes *Dearborn Award-Winning example *Ex-Jack Hogan Collection *A capable touring car *Exquisite presentation, truly the best of the best *Early Ford V-8 Club Grand National award winner with "Walkaround" status THE MOTORCAR OFFERED This superb Phaeton had two excellent restorations during its 27-year tenure as part of the prestigious Jack Hogan Ford collection. Since its last restoration was completed, it has earned multiple awards including eight Early Ford V-8 Club Dearborn awards which speaks to the detail and quality of the restorations. In 2000 it was one of five Fords from the Hogan collection displayed at the Early Ford V-8 Club's meet in Dearborn, Michigan. All of them won the Club's Dearborn Award and this 1936 Phaeton earned the Club's Grand National award and Dearborn Emeritus status. It now has Early Ford V-8 Dearborn "Walkaround" status and is pictured sixteen times in the Club's restoration publication. It is finished in Washington Blue, one of the most popular colors for V-8 Fords, with Tacoma Cream pin-striping, Brown leather interior and Heather cloth top and side curtains with Brown bindings to match the interior. The exterior is highlighted by stainless steel spider wheel covers, trim rings, double wide whitewalls, an enclosed rear-mounted spare, Greyhound hood ornament, wind wings, and an outside mirror. In last 7 years, the Ford has been cossetted in a climate-controlled facility in Prescott, Arizona, where it has enjoyed the dry climate and thrived. Its usual routine is a short drive around the historic town in the dry and warm air of the high desert. The car has been maintained to the highest standard and regularly visits classic car shows where it is a well-known champion. The flathead runs great, with excellent valve gaps and the clutch and transmission work flawlessly. The Washington Blue paint shows excellently and has been well cared for over the last 20 years. The car is well maintained and recently completed projects include the rebuild of the original Stromberg 97 carburetor to assure a steady and reliable 400rpm idle and excellent acceleration; the rebuild of the master brake cylinder and brake system; and re-conditioning of the side curtains and tools which are stored in a custom tool box. The appearance and reliability make this a perfect car for a collector, a family, and or a place with classic car touring fan. The style and appeal of a 1936 Ford Deluxe Phaeton is timeless and universal, attributes which are abundantly apparent in this example which has been consistently judged among the best of the best.
