6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet

I was tooling around the internet early this week and stumbled upon something you don't see everyday. How about a '36 Ford Club Cabriolet with 6000 original miles?

Interesting car, wonder why they put the 37 emblem on the grill?

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

Hmmm.... If it really has 6000 original why does it have repo Argentina running boards (produced in late 80s and sold by J.C. Whitney). :confused:

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

Absolutely beautiful! Did anyone call for the price? Just curious...

Need to photoshop out the yellow Dodge Ram in the background.

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

The price is $40k. They say all original except the hood ornament. The original one was broken. It's a cabriolet with a back seat not a rumble seat.

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

Double Hmmm.... Lots of changes for that sort of mileage. I'm not sure that the exterior color conforms with the colors offered in the '36 model year, including the Easter colors. Nice looking underbody, for sure.

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

What color would this be called?

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

I would have to second flatheadfan's question (s) I also wonder why the hood fits so poorly. The grille shell seems to be very badly out of alignment.
Maybe I'm being to picky, but then again, my '36 has 139k on it and the body fitment is much better..

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

Paint color seems to change at hood/cowl line, as in possible front end accident/re-paint. DD

What is an original mile anyway? Can you get new old stock miles? How much are they?
I think Drake should reproduce miles. Would a USA mile be better than a mile from China?

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

It is possible it had an accident, but remember, the fitment of the old Fords was not all that good in the beginning. If the paint is as old as the car, it has probably discolored some over the years.

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

I believe it's vineyard green,getting ready to paint my 36 5w, I like this color. Don't see it very often

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

In 1976 I saw a 1940 Deluxe Coupe in Ed Winfield's garage in Las Vegas that had about 40,000 miles on it. Everything fit perfectly. But this was a car with original factory leather interior that was at the 1939 auto show in San Francisco. Winfield bought it at the show for his wife.

Kong Jackson bought it and drove it home to Glendale the next day. It still smelled new inside. I will not say what Kong paid. He said not to.

A few years later my dad bought a 37 Standard Coupe with 38K miles and almost perfect. Fit was excellent.

Both cars mentioned did not have the original miles on it. They came from Montgomery Ward as replacement miles:D

A friend found a 1935 Cabriolet in the late 1960's with around 5,000 miles on it, I drove it around last year and added about five to the current 10,000 or so miles on it. Bob

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

In the attached pix you can see how a grille, etc. fits on a car that has never been in an accident. The hood and radiator have been off for engine replacement, the grille shell has never been touched.. The car has been repainted once, black over the original black..

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

Tim, is that the '40 Coupe that is in Don Garlits Museum in Ocala, FL now? Don gave me the same history of the car when we shot the "Big Daddy" Don Garlits V8 Museum Tour video.

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

Vic, to add to what you were asking, didn't that particular coupe also have a mechanical tach and dual exhaust?

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

Steve, the '40 with the tach and "factory" dual exhaust was a Convertible. I think (at the time we shot the video) the two cars were parked next to each other in the museum.

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

My 41k original miles Fordor flatback sedan looked many times better than that '36 when I got it in 2007. After seven years and 22k more miles it still looks better, IMHO. Not bragging...just saying. That '36 has had a tough time somewhere in those 6k miles.

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

My 36 woodie has 1,092 miles on the odometer.

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

Never been to the museum but I remember when we pushed it out of Winfield's Garage. I sat in it and looked at the radio and I expected that if I turned it on it would have WWII war news coming from it.

We jumped it and it started right up. Kong and Ed tweaked it a bit and Ed offered it to Kong for a sweet deal. Kong used to sweep floors for Winfield when he as a little kid. Winfield liked Kong a lot and that is why the price was so low. Why do you think Kong was so smart?

That 40 ran like a top.

Here is from left to right Kong, Winfield and myself checking out my B engine with Cook four port. Two Winfield carbs on the left side

It was neat getting advice from Winfield. I wonder what ever happened to that Kong prototype ignition. Notice the four cylinder GM cap

I'd like to see the photo, can you post it again?

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

Here you go

Doug Boyd was on that trip and he had one of those really big giant cameras. Winfield got out his photo album and he took some pics of the pics. Here is one of Ed Winfield with his Model T powered race car.

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/v...I/scan0006.jpg

Notice to cool intake manifold for the updraft Winfield Carb. He did it that way cus he wanted a specific length from carb to intake valve. Ed did not like having two intake ports on the T with 1-2-4-3 timing. He fixed that by building a crank that was two up then two down. Now his timing was 1-3-2-4 so that the intake was 180 deg apart. I am sure he had a few other speed secrets.

Re: 6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet
 

Low miles and poorly fitting sheet metal means probably been wrecked and sat many years until someone found it and got it back togather.
