Lower and sleeker
the 1935 fords were lower, with a longer hood, a more raked windshield and a narrower grille with four horizontal bars to emphasize the cars streamlined look. The more rounded fenders now extended down to the bumpers, and the side louvers were given stainless-steel horizontal stripes. A four-door convertible wasadded to the lineup, which included three other open cars a roadster, phaeton and cabriolet as well as a station wagon and coupes and two- or four-door sedans that came standard or deluxe.
smoother ride
the ford v8 engine, clutch, brakes, frame, rear axle and steering were all refined. But the biggest improvement was in the ride. Moving the engine forward 8 12 in. Gave the car better weight distribution, with passengers now seated
between the wheels. Wider wheels and softer, larger tires also contributed to comfort.
The ford v8 of the 1930s was the worlds first mass-produced eight-cylinder car. A 1935 ford cabriolet is shown here. |
