Powered by its 3.6L Flathead V8 engine paired with a 3-speed sliding mesh manual transmission, this Cabriolet delivers a driving experience that embodies Ford's 1930s craftsmanship. Single-family owned since 1958, the car has been a cherished piece of family history, meticulously maintained and preserved over the decades. The exterior is finished in a classic blue, which retains a rich luster and accentuates the graceful lines and curves of the body.

Inside, the Cabriolet's tan interior invites you to experience true vintage comfort. The upholstery is in generally good condition, with one notable tear on the front seat, a reflection of its journey through time, but it comes with a complete front seat kit, making it ready for restoration without compromising its originality. The 9-ball shifter brings an extra touch of nostalgic charm, and the rumble seat in the back provides additional seating, perfect for open-air drives shared with friends or family.
Recent replacements of the hydraulic brakes ensure reliable stopping power, and the emergency brake is fully functional, a rare feature that showcases the car's thorough upkeep. The 3.6L Flathead V8 is as responsive and smooth as ever, while the 3-speed manual transmission adds to the authentic feel of driving a true classic.
