Panel delivery trucks were a stylishand#44; economical way to get some work done without needing a full-sized truckand#44; and that is true todayand#44; where cars like this 1935 Ford sedan delivery are turning into awesome rods. With reliable Chevy powerand#44; a stylish paint schemeand#44; and a ready-to-cruise demeanorand#44; its a great alternative to the usual coupes and sedans you usually see. Its amazing how well the teal and plum paint job works on the vintage Fordand#44; keeping its identity while giving it a totally custom look. The 35 Fords were heavily facelifted following the successful 34sand#44; and the new streamlined styling works especially well on the panel truck. This one keeps almost all its original styling detailsand#44; including the upright grille and dual horns flanking itand#44; and the overall look is 1930s style meets 21st century cool. The paint was done a few years ago and isnt perfect anymoreand#44; but it looks great cruising down the road or at the local cruise nightand#44; where most folks will probably not have seen such a car before. The doors fit well and the professionally-applied scallops on their faces have a beautiful 3D look thats pretty cool. A single large rear door gives access to the cargo bay withinand#44; and that unique rear bumper has to be practically unobtainium for panel deliveries. All the chrome and stainless trim is in good shapeand#44; adding a bright accent to the flashy paintand#44; and even the original-style insert remains in the roofand#44; proving that it hasnt been cut or modified. The interior is cozy for twoand#44; with a wide bench seat from a late-model and all-new gray cloth upholstery. Matching door panels give it a unified look and the dash has been smoothed and painted to match the bodyand#44; so theres a splash of color inside as well. The gray carpets are showing a bit of ageand#44; but that only means you wont worry too much about getting in and drivingand#44; and with effective A/Cand#44; youll love road trips in this truck. It also includes a powerful stereo system with a Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo in an overhead console feeding a custom audio system built into the side panelsand#44; including a pair of 10-inch subwoofers and two Infinity 6x9 speakers in the doorsand#44; so the sound is all around you. VDO gauges give the dash a cleanand#44; uncluttered look and that cargo bay will handle just about anything you can throw in there. This Ford breaks no new ground in the powertrainand#44; but this 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 makes it a smoothand#44; fastand#44; reliable cruiserand#44; and thats entirely the point. Peeking down into the engine bayand#44; youll see a tidy package with an Edelbrock carburetor on topand#44; some nicely turned-out finned valve coversand#44; and tight packaging that allows it to fit without cutting the hood or the firewall. Youll note theres a power brake systemand#44; a big radiatorand#44; and a set of block-hugging shorty headers that help build power. The front suspension is a Mustang II setup with rack-and-pinion steeringand#44; so its smooth and straight on the highwayand#44; and out back you get a nicely engineered coil spring setup that rides beautifully. Glasspack-style mufflers sound greatand#44; with a nice burble at speedand#44; and the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission snaps through the gears with easeand#44; making this truck as easy to drive as your regular driver. Flashy 17-inch Foose wheels add to the hot rod look and carry staggered 225/45/17 front and 235/55/17 rear performance radials for just a bit of rake. This truck is probably done hauling cargoand#44; but it remains one of the most handsome ways to show up at a car show. Call today! |
