1936 Ford Cabriolet Convertible, 355 V8, 200R4 Automatic, All-Steel California Car, Show Winner, Candy Apple Red Finish A true blend of pre-war elegance and modern hot rod performance, this 1936 Ford Cabriolet Convertible is the kind of build that immediately commands attention. With its unmistakable lines, professionally finished Candy Apple Red paint, and show-winning pedigree, this car represents the craftsmanship and detail that define a high-quality street rod. This rare classic is one of only 4,616 Ford Cabriolets produced in 1936, making it a highly desirable piece of early automotive history. It is an all-steel California car retaining its original boxed frame, adding to both its authenticity and long-term collectability. The current owner has cared for the car since 2016, later bringing it to Florida in 2022. Built on a desirable all-steel body, this Cabriolet maintains the integrity and authenticity that serious collectors look for, while incorporating modern upgrades that enhance drivability and reliability. The body lines are smooth and flowing, accentuated by the deep, rich Candy Apple Red paint that lays beautifully across every curve. The finish has a depth and gloss that must be seen in person to fully appreciate. Power comes from a strong running 355 cubic inch Chevrolet V8 engine built by Don Barrington, delivering the performance expected from a well-built hot rod while maintaining a smooth, responsive driving experience. It is paired with a Bowtie 200R4 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission, providing excellent drivability and comfortable highway cruising. The car is also equipped with air ride suspension, allowing for both ride quality and adjustable stance. Inside, the car features a beautifully appointed saddle leather interior that complements the exterior perfectly, along with a high-quality Mercedes cloth convertible top. The craftsmanship carries throughout the cabin, offering a clean, refined look while still maintaining the classic character of a 1930s Ford. Every detail has been thoughtfully executed, creating an interior that is both comfortable and visually striking. The air conditioning blows cold, making this classic as enjoyable as it is impressive. This Cabriolet sits on a set of nicely selected wheels wrapped in quality tires that complete the stance and overall aesthetic. The combination gives the car a balanced look — classic yet subtly aggressive without taking away from its timeless design. Having earned show-winning recognition, this Ford is more than just a driver, it is a proven standout that has already been judged and appreciated at a high level. It has been an award winner at major events including the LA Roadster Show and Hot August Nights in Reno. It has also received the prestigious Boyd Coddington / Mickey Thompson Award and has been invited to exclusive, invitation-only shows such as Boyd Coddington’s and Blackie Gejeian’s events.
