Default My 1935 Cabriolet in "HEMMINGS CLASSIC CAR"
I have to brag a little bit on my '35 Cabriolet.
It is featured in the May 2015 issue of "HEMMINGS CLASSIC CAR".
It is featured, not because it is a mintly restored car, but because it is a rare survivor.
If you are in the store, thumbing through magazines, check out pages 44,45,46 & 47.

Congratulations Mike! That car is awesome and so are you for keeping it the fine survivor that it is.

ps...Mike, don't forget my long standing offer to trade you one of my '35's, plus some mutually agreed upon % of my lifetime savings for that beautiful '35 Cabriolet survivor

I read the article yesterday. The car and the article are both outstanding. Don't see many survivors. Congratulations.

Great car, great story. Read it this morning. The stories and the opportunity to see these survivors is the reason I subscribe to magazines like Classic Car. Enjoy your beautiful '35.

Loved the story. Have one question, has the right hand cylinder head been changed at some point ? I noticed it had a prefix # 40-6049 and I thought 35 was a prefix of 48 and a pickup was 50 then the number ?

Basically the 40-6049/40-6050 aluminum heads for use with flat top pistons were carried over from '33-'34 and used in '35 & '36, although there were also a few additional suffix letters/numbers used on those basic part numbers during those years. 48-6049/50 started as experimental heads for use with dome top pistons in '35-'36. In late '36 the 68-6049/50 heads for use with dome top pistons were released for service only applications.
This is information was taken from the EFV-8 Club's '35-'36 Book by Don Rogers. Hopefully he will correct me if any of this is wrong .

Not to highjack this thread but here is a picture of my good friend's 54 Mercury that is in the Hemmings 2015 calendar. This car was also featured in Hemmings Classic Cars last year. He is very sick and a few prayers for him would be nice. Thanks

Very nice car Mike. You should be very proud of your Survivor 1935 Ford. Can't wait until I get my copy of Hemmings Classic Car in the mail so I can rear all about it.
