Thanks for the info John. I was built in the same year so I lean towards 35's. Very pretty grills I think.

The Black-Wall tyres suit this car. It just wouldn't look right with White-Walls.
You are a lucky man to own such a nice original car like this Mike.

Mike your1935 Ford V8 cabriolet is certainly a beautiful car, and I always liked the rare 1935 Ford V8 models as they were the last models of the Ford V8 that were imported fully assembled into New Zealand by Colonial Motor Company who were the distributors for Ford at that time, before Ford started their own Seaview assembly plant in Wellington N.Z. in 1936, and distributed them to the dealers themselves, and that is why there was so many 1936 models in N.Z.

Here are two 1935 Ford Cabriolets that have found their way to Australia. Ford Australia never offered the Cabriolet for sale here, so these are recent imports. They are great looking cars. Pity that we never got them.

THAT is one fine looking '35 Ford. Love it!! Especially the blackwalls on black rims. Sharp

I, surely, want to thank everyone for their nice comments about my 1935 FORD Cabriolet !
The photos seem to make the car look pretty minty, but you can see more "warts", in person.
I appreciate seeing all the additional photos, too !
Thanks again,
MIKE (mikeburch)

Good for you. Congrats!

It's a good issue overall. I love the Lincoln on the cover. One of my dream cars, but yours is very, very cool, too!

I spray-can painted the wheels, back when I first bought the car. They were pretty drab. Back in those days, you just weren't too particular. From memory, while at the auto store, the can looked to be similar to the green of the stripe. It is not too far off. One wheel did get a streak of blue in it. I guess that I didn't shake the can enough. I will re-paint then, someday.
Thanks,
MIKE (mikeburch)
