Here is one I bought in 2011. I wish it had been a 3W coupe, like I had in high school, but could not make a deal on the ones I found prior to buying this 5W. It is mostly stock, has nice solid sheet metal and a nice interior. We recently removed the engine and transmission to go through them and clean them up. Found the engine to be a bored .030 over rebuilt LB block with little or no cylinder wear :) (oh happy day!). This car will not get restored by me, it will become my second driver. Gotta love these '35's!!

A while back Troy, a new guy at work, learned that I messed around with old cars and mentioned that he had a '34 Ford 3 window on his uncles farm. He said he would never do anything with it and said I could HAVE it! It took about two years to get his aunt to send a picture. Turned out it was not a '34; but a '35 or '36; but the price is still right. A couple of months later Troy and I made run out to the farm about 50 or 60 miles somewhat west of Minot, North Dakota to pick it up. Troy said it had been sitting there since '72 or so and we found it had sunk about six inches into the ground. Lucky the climate
out there is really dry and soil must drain well as there
was only one small rust hole in the right lower cowl. Good
news the fenders and boards were laying next to it and
the and all the garnish, regulators, locks, etc were stacked inside. We got it loaded (learned why it took
so long to get the picture, Troy's aunt and uncle do nothing quickly, great folks though), tied down, and
hauled it home, all for the price of diesel and dinner.
The bad news is I have had it for about ten years now
and have collected all the parts I need; but have not
done any actual work on it yet. Maybe this summer or
maybe my kid will get it afterall, he's had his eye on it since it came home.

Hi Rich

How about any progress on this car?

Bruce

Works good
Lasts long time
 
this is my 1935 model 60 cabriolet the 60 was built in the uk with the 22hp engine we had a horse power tax back then.
with revised gear box ratio and back axle
the engine fitted in my car is i think the 1937 version.
very few model 60 cabriolets were built and this is the only one i have seen.
thanks
roger

It's great to see some UK and cars from other countries in this post. I would like to see more pictures of this nice looking 35 model 60 cabriolet.
Had an opportunity to meet some UK early Ford V8er's and see their cars during my visits over in 2010 and this year. Actually had some great rides in a '36 roadster. I could post some pictures of some of these UK cars if anyone is interested. They are not all 35's though.
 
our 1935 model 60 has found the car had been stored very badly the rats had got in and made a bad mess of the in side nesting in the back rumble seat
six young rats were found on removing this seat, the smell was very bad.

Roger, thanks for posting more pictures of your model 60. Looks like it is coming along very nicely. That water pump looks the same as some of the pumps used on our 60 hp engines.

Roger,
Good to see another 35 cabriolet in Britain, i think there must only be around 6 in the country yours being the rarest of them all.
Hope to see yours for real one day.
Gordon.
 
Keep this thread going! Here's mine...not a single patch.
