This 1935 Ford Model 48 Phaeton represents a unique blend of vintage aesthetics and modern performance upgrades. The dark green paint job gives this classic convertible a distinguished look, complemented by its tan canvas top. Rolling on 15-inch wheels with 195/60R15 tires up front and 215/75R15 in the rear, this Phaeton showcases a stance that's both period-correct and ready for action.
Inside, the brown leather interior crafted by Labaron-Bonny exudes quality and comfort. The bench seats offer ample room for passengers, while the floor-mounted shifter and chrome banjo-style steering wheel add a touch of classic style. A Sun Pro tach mounted on the steering column keeps you informed of engine performance, and the upgraded gauges provide essential information at a glance. The passenger floorboard houses the E-brake lever, a nod to the car's vintage roots.
Powering this classic is a 239 Flathead V8 engine, bored .030 over and equipped with performance upgrades. The engine breathes through two Stromberg 97 carburetors mounted on a chrome Navarro intake manifold, paired with matching valve covers. Fenton headers lead to a dual exhaust system with Smithy's mufflers, providing a throaty exhaust note. The T5 5-speed manual transmission, rebuilt in January 2023, offers smooth shifts and improved highway cruising. Additional upgrades include an electric cooling fan and an electric fuel pump, enhancing reliability for modern driving conditions. The front disc brakes provide improved stopping power.
