My most recent acquisistion

Thanks for the very thoughtful words guys.
I'm very excited about this one. It'll be a year or more before I can tackle a full restoration as my shop schedule is more than full until then.

In the meantime, I will do some light cosmetics and replace the springs. I'd managed to locate and purchase a pair of NOS springs to restore the proper height.
 
My 35 was originally Washington blue, although it is not 100% original(filled roof, hyd brakes,column shift) it still runs a flathead and I was thinking of going back original paint.
Your beauty convinced my it’s the right color choice!

I've lusted after one of these for 40+ years. Finally I've found the right one for me. This one was in the same family since the very early 1960's. It is 99% stock, the only modifications being minor and quickly reversed things. It performs beautifully and is a former AACA Senior winner, having been driven 7000 miles since.
This checked off a (large) box on my bucket list for certain.

Congratulations Mike, what a lovely car.
 
Congratulations Kube!

Important to have stock restorations maintained and preserved, especially 1936 Ford Deluxe Roadsters. I finished mine last August after 8 years. It was a basket case and required parts from four different cars. It has earned two Best Original Ford 32-53 V8 awards. Keep'em original! gnolnor

Well, yes, I was looking for a three window. Came mighty close past year. The one I wanted I knew had been 100% stock and 100% rust free. The folks that got to it before me ten years earlier did such a horrible job on it, I simply could not justify their asking price.
They were looking for ($) what a properly restored car was worth - not the 10¢ job they did.

What a shame as that particular car deserved the best.

I was wondering if you were going to do a full restoration on this one.
