Lloyd Duzell, a longtime Early Ford V8 Club member, built this car to a very high standard and it shows. Lloyed owned this Ford until 2015. Duzell restored many vintage Fords over many years.

Dressed in distinctive high gloss maroon, the cars paint and trim are in excellent overall condition. The cars fivewindows plus its windshield are in overall fantastic shape, however there is some delamination at the right rear window. The cars lights, including its fog lights and blue dot taillights are clear and intact. This car also comes with dual horns. Note that this car only has a drivers side windshield wiper.

The Slantbacks bodywork is straight and solid, the battery looks new, the engine bay is quite tidy and the shiny chrome bumpers look great and fit well to the body. This Ford rolls on Goodyear Deluxe AllWeather wide whitewall tires, size 6.0016 at all four corners. Within those whitewalls are 1936 Ford steel and painted wire wheel covers with center caps and beauty rings.

Inside is a brilliant tan leather interior. The front buckets and rear bench seats are in excellent order, as is the matching tan carpet. The headliner and threespoke banjostyle steering wheel are in similar fantastic condition, as is the gearshift lever. While the speedometer and odometer work, the factory ancillary gauges are inoperable. However, there are a complete set of aftermarket ancillary gauges mounted below the factory gauges because the prove to be more accurate for actual driving this stunning classic. The clock in the glovebox door is inoperable but this car still maintains its original Philco AM radio, antenna and overhead speaker.

Underneath is a very tidy and highly detailed undercarriage, often a detail skipped with this era of Fords. It features many details such as a new gas tank and complete rebuilt suspension components.

The transverseleaf spring suspension remained but the front spring was relocated ahead of the axle to allow more interior volume. The body was lowered and new CenterPoise seating improved comfort.

Visually, the 1935 Ford was much more modern with the grille pushed forward and made more prominent by deemphasized and moreintegrated fenders. A major advance was a true integrated trunk on trunkback sedans, though the traditional flatback or Slantback was also offered.

Two trim lines were offered, standard and DeLuxe, across a number of body styles including a baseroadster, fivewindowcoupe, threewindow coupe, Tudor and Fordorsedansin flatback or trunkback versions, a convertible sedan, a woodystation wagon and newModel 51truck.Rumble seatswere optional on coupe model.
