1935 Ford 48 & 68 V8 (1935-1936)

This 1935 Ford is a wood-paneled station wagon that was acquired by the seller’s father in October 1960, and it was refurbished by Hibernia Auto Restorations of New Jersey in 1978. Power is supplied by a 221ci Flathead V8 paired with a three-speed manual transmission, and equipment includes a black canvas roof, a four-piece hood with louvers, chrome exterior trim, a wood-paneled passenger area, removable side curtains, red-finished 16″ wire wheels, and three rows of seating upholstered in tan vinyl. This Woodie Wagon is offered in Connecticut by the seller on behalf of their mother with service records, historical documentation, a spare wheel, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name. The passenger area is clad in wood paneling, and the front clip and fenders were refinished in tan during the aforementioned refurbishment. The car is equipped with a canvas-covered roof spanning the length of the cabin, and additional features include a four-piece louvered hood, two horns, rubber-capped running boards, removable roll-up side curtains, and a chrome windshield surround, front bumper, and grille. Noted flaws are shown in the gallery and include cracking paint, a missing passenger-side windshield wiper, and clouding of the side curtains. Red-finished 16″ wire wheels featuring chrome V8-branded hubcaps are mounted with Universal whitewall tires. A spare housed in a body-color cover is mounted at the rear. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes. The cabin features three rows of seating upholstered in tan vinyl with wood door panels, a slatted roof, and a black steel dashboard. Equipment includes manual-crank windows, sliding side windows, a rearview mirror with an inset analog clock, and a floor-mounted shifter. A radio is mounted under the steering wheel, though its functionality is unknown. The three-spoke steering wheel fronts a 100-mph speedometer and supplementary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 67k miles, approximately 7k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The 221ci Flathead V8 was rebuilt during the refurbishment. The seller notes an oil leak is present and recommends servicing the carburetor. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission. Additional underside photos are shown in the gallery. Service records, an instruction manual, a spare wheel, and historical documentation are included in the sale. The serial number 1718784 is stamped on the vehicle and shown in the gallery. The New Jersey title shows a serial number of 181718784, and a redacted copy can be seen in the gallery.
