1937 Ford 85 Deluxe Cabriolet!
For consignment, a 1937 Ford 85 Deluxe cabriolet showing 318 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This is a modernized, no expense spared street rod with a 6.2 LS3 engine.
Exterior
Poised for show and hunkered down on a set of fantastic Foose wheels, this Orange Tricolor cab is a smooth operator and is led by a tall chrome grille flanked by a set of flush, teardrop headlights and fenders that sports a subtle pointed edge. Hood vents cut through the surface, arranged like a Gillette Proglide and topped with polished trim that follows along the shoulder line and the sloping orange rump, helping define the shape in profile. You'll note a trim chrome bumper out back and flush oval tail lights, but it's the pinstripe flourish that provides the ornamentation and it's quite elaborate. The tan canvas convertible top is in nice condition and the entire exterior is devoid of imperfections.
Interior
If you think the outside shines, wait until you see the features here where the palette of tan leather and burlwood trim start on the doors with custom shaped armrests and tight, carpeted lowers and the 1937 Ford illumination on the sills is a nice touch. Low back leather bucket seats are two tone, with a snake belly type pattern down the center and both seats present cleanly and backed by a chrome styling bar. There's more reflective metal on the steering wheel spokes while the rim is in matching tan leading to the wood faced dash with white faced AutoMeter gauges with six arranged symmetrically to the right. It's more like 2037 in the center stack where a billet panel controls the A/C and digital lights, a pair of screens provide various points of information, and the push button transmission is clean and colorful, all in wood and stitched leather. Trimmed carpet pieces of fine tan pile cover the floor and finish the trunk and while the footwells show some use, it's all fully intact.
Drivetrain
The custom treatment of the bay covers the engine in a color matched shroud and they dress up the 6.2 liter 376ci LS3 engine, fuel injected and rated at 420 horsepower. Pushing buttons on the center console motivates the 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission into service and power is routed to a Ford 9" in back.
Undercarriage
The show must go on, and it does underneath where glossy orange paint mixes with polished metal components that warrant undercarriage mirrors to be brought to the show, without a doubt. No grease, no dirt, no rust, it's as showy as the topside. Here we have power disc brakes on all four wheels and dual exhaust that comes from headers into MagnaFlow mufflers and terminates in the back with chrome tips. Suspension consists of a Mustang II front end with air bags and a 4 link with airbags in back. The driveshaft, pumpkin and frame are among the orange painted items and parts of the rear axle and differential cover are reflective chrome.
Drive-Ability
This is the kind of car you might trailer to a show, so we're keeping our test short so as to not kick up gravel. The comfortable interior enjoys a soundtrack of dual exhaust and it's quite the symphony while providing excellent power and good handling with low profile, ZR-rated tires. The only function not working on the car is the inability to fold down the top. All of the bells and whistles remaining however, work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
If you've ever dreamed about owning a Ridler Award contender, your orange dream just came true. We can't guarantee any awards, but it would be difficult not to give this car a trophy just for showing up. It's a spectacular build that for now, only requires a microfiber towel to keep clean!
