In 1935, Ford reigned supreme, selling a whopping 820,000 Model 48s—enough to make Henry Ford do a victory lap in a Roadster. These beauties came with a 221 CID Flathead V8, which may sound like a robot’s name but actually powered these classic cars. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars, we now have images of this vintage vehicle, proving that even back then, style was more than just a fancy suit—it was a car with a convertible top and a purring engine.
There were 820,000 of the Model 48 produced in 1935, which put Ford at the top for sales that year. The models offered in ’35 were a two door coupe, 4 door sedan, 4 door convertible, 4 door wagon and the Roadster pictured here. Under the hood is a 221 CID (3.6 L) Flathead V8 in the factory produced model.
