37 3 window coupe

[Billbwi]

I need some help. I am considering purchasing a 1937 all steel 3 window coupe. I can find nowhere that says Ford made any but the seller insist there are 11 know to exist. Does anyone have any info on this. It would be appreciated. I was in search of a 36 3 window when I ran across this one

Hmmm... I'd demand that this claim of his be proven.

If Ford made a 3 window coupe in '37, I would probably have one! !936 was the last year for that body style. Are you sure this is a steel body car you are considering? _ F F

Anybody that would paint an early Ford like that wouldn't be above counterfeiting one.

Also, the name "Minotti" comes to mind.

If it's a steel car someone did some very creative body work. The seller is full of BS that Ford made this body. I'll bet they tell you that Ford even put the recessed license plate in the trunk lid! Just curious where you saw this advertised and is it being sold by an auto broker?

[farmertom]

just wondering,can a '37 looking coupe be built using '36 body and '37 front fenders?, and ofcourse custom frenched rear plate. Tom.

Bill, Be wary. Sounds like you are about to be scammed re: 37 3 window coupe.

Yes, they were made but not by Henry Ford. Look here:

I would almost bet it has a garbage truck engine in it also!

That would be an easy creation by a GOOD bodyman. I vote scam artist with made up story. I wouldn't be surprised if there were 10 or 12 of these made up creations running around. After completing several Ron Covell classes over the past few years, hell even I could do it.

No doubt..after seeing your cars in person.

The 1936 3 window body style is 68-720. In 1937, Ford used the body style 720 for the new Club Coupe model, 78-720. I don't believe the story either.

Thanks for all the response. I’ve seen 36 5 window coupes turned into 3 windows so I suspect this has had the same treatment. Nice car but not worth the 60k asking price. I saw the car on Facebook group 35,36,37,38,39 Fords

NEVER say "NEVER" when it comes to old Fords. I found this picture years ago, somewhere! It is obviously NOT an American '37, considering the right hand drive, the funny fender lights, and likely the license plate. My money would be on German. Note old hooptie on far side of pasture. Also note the "V'd", two piece windshield (unlike a '36). Coop

Coop, I think that car was produced in Canada in 1937, and was also imported to England to sell in 1937. I think they were advertised as having a 30hp engine... I don't remember how many were produced.

Where it "German" it would still be "left" hand drive. My instant guess when I saw it was "Australian" since given the distance, most models were late in the same model year down under and maybe had some leftover 36's to "clear" out?? Maybe Trevor could chime in here.....Obviously, if not Aussie or NZ then a "Dagingham" creation would be my "next" logical guess.....also given the the fender marker lights!!!! NOT that I know anything about foreign or European Fords. IS it me OR is it also "two tone" paint job A La the OP hot rod........fenders look black, the body looks to be a dark color BUT NOT black......OR is it just the angle of the photo???

Idk...

Something seems different.
