Can someone please help me identify what 35 or 36 Ford came with the waterfall in the attached picture. As you can see it is flat with no ribs.

Thank you in advance.

Not a waterfall. 2 stainless stainless strips & bezel for windshield crank. Standard model I believe not sure if both 35&36 used it.
 
David is it deluxe or standard?
Here’s 1 I have

Thanks Brian I did not know. As much 36 stuff & knowledge I think I have this was beyond me.
 
Late 1936 deluxe with the wood grain dash is where I have seen that layout. Makes a nice clean look in my opinion. Has a chrome roll-out knob also.
 
Deluxe and obviously a notable cost savings to Ford compared to the use of the separate "waterfall" as well as a less cluttered look as noted above.

Looks like a 35,6 roadster dash

Mike, It is actually a closed car dash. Note the hole for the windshield crank knob. The upper roll in this dash could be viewed as part of the cowl on a 35-36 roadster or phaeton if you've never compared them to each other.
 
KiWinUS dash is late (after May) 36 closed car with mahogany grain. Late Deluxe 36 closed cars had separate water fall and walnut grain. See petehoovie

Gary,


One possible flaw in that assertion is that the dash in the photos in posts #1 and #2 has walnut grain.
 
You can see the evolution from that style late 36 Deluxe to 37 and later models that used stainless trim strips
 
The '37 deluxe vertical trim strips between the gauges and the speedometer and those on the glove box door are chrome-plated zinc die castings. Those on the ash tray face and radio block-off insert are raised areas in the stampings which were chrome plated before the surrounding wood grain was applied.
 
A friend of mine might have the waterfall you're looking for. I saw it a few years ago and as I recall it was very nice.He also has a like new looking speedometer. I'm pretty sure they're '36 as he once had a '36 3 window. It would be worth a phone call. His name is Ken and his number is 707-443-9972.
