Join me for a little Sunday drive in my completely restored 1936 Ford sedan. Listen to its flathead V8 sing, uninterrupted by talking or music. Aside from a 12-volt electrical system, turn signals, a 1939 transmission, 1937 steering box and slightly later-model engine the car is completely stock, retaining mainstay Ford features of the era like a solid front axle, torque-tube drivetrain, front and rear transverse leaf springs as well as mechanical brakes (with floaters). The car runs and drives beautifully, better than you’d ever expect an 80-plus-year-old vehicle to.
If you’re curious, here are the engine specs:
• Factory-relieved 59L block
• Stock 59-AB heads
• Bored 0.080” beyond 3 3/16”
• Stock 3 ¾” crankshaft
• 251 cubic inches
• Stock intake manifold
• Holley 2100 carburetor with stock 8BA jetting and power valve
• Stock fuel pump with electric back up
• Stock 1946 Ford camshaft with adjustable lifters
• Stock “crab-style” distributor
• Red’s headers
• Dual exhaust system WITHOUT mufflers

You are right. I believe that is due to all the innovation that was happening between all the automakers as they competed for the limited new car sales of the Great Depression. Ford had to innovate and improve his designs to keep up with the competition. Unlike the era of the Model T, which changed minimally over its lifetime... now Ford was in a situation where each year's car had to be an improvement over last years. And look what happened!

No. Send it to the Netherlands. My dad used to have one in the early sixties. Even then it was already considered a very old car. But the garage he bought it from, for next to nothing, used it only for weddings and funerals and kept it hidden from the Germans during the war. He needed a cheap, but roomy and powerful, beast for pulling a trailer full of paint cans and transporting at least five men all through the country for his job as an electricity mast painter. Drove like a tank and built like it as well. This sound really brings back memories.

From my earliest memories, I fell in love with the Flathead V8 engine - the sound absolutely moved me then and still does now. I learned to drive in the old Ford V8 3-ton truck when I was about 11 or 12 years old.

In 1958 I had a 1948 "Prefect" English Ford that was a miniature of this Ford. It had 4 doors, 3 speed "on the floor" with a flat head 4 cylinder engine. It had the "herringbone front grill & the slant back. I enjoyed the crank out windshield. It got almost 40 mph. We couldn't afford photos & the only known photo I have was taken with a "Brownie" camera with my grandmother next to it. I had it until 1963. I replaced it with my favorite vehicle of all times, a 1955 Desoto.

Funny you bring that up! Perhaps against better judgement, I acquired a second project car about three months ago. Predictably, it's another old Ford, though not quite as early as this one. The car in question is a 1951 Crestliner, a two-door (Tudor in Ford parlance) sedan with two-tone paint and a vinyl-covered roof. The plan is to produce a series of videos chronicling the restoration process. Stay tuned!

My Dad was one of the Founders of The Early Ford V8 Club of America. I can still remember going to one of those early meetings. I believe they were held in the Auto Shop at San Leandro High School. Dad tried to give me a 1939 Deluxe four door sedan that had belonged to a local Mailman named Frank. Problem was it had been in a flood so lots of rust in the floor pan. I was like 9 years old. I decided because of the floor problem to let it go and hold out for a better one down the road. Bonk! So in High School he gave me his 1941 Ford Pickup. We took it all apart in the back yard with plans to start restoring it. (all it really needed was a motor rebuild and paint, was damn near perfect when he got it.) Unfortunately that was also the year I was introduced to Partying on booze and pot so I had no money to put into it. (around 1972/73) Needless to say he took it back. It was sort of mine for like four weeks and I got as far as scrapping all the muck from the rear axle. I'll never forget the joy of driving his old Fords. The sweet sound of a well tuned Early V8, and looking over the hood as it follows the way you point it.Those were the days! Sorry I let ya down Dad.

Here's a fun fact. Flathead V8 engines or "engines of yesterday" did not had to require a lot of stress, to power an average car. But engines of today they had to put so much stress by revving higher and working harder and use up more gas, I'm assuming, just to do the same job. So it didn't had it easy.

They're really not that bad. Yes, you still have to be careful, but I think they work just as well as hydraulic brakes from the same time period. Mechanical brakes got a really bad rap. When they're 80-plus years old, with bad bushings, worn-out clevises or pins and oil-soaked linings you're never going to stop well -- or in a straight line. But when you rebuild everything, arc the shoes to match the drums and properly adjust them, they work surprisingly well.

In 1967 in New Zealand my friends and I bought 3 of this model 1936 V8 we drove them to my uncle's farm and played demolition derby with the 3 1936 fords until all 3 were damaged beyond repair, we left them next to a tree and caught the train back home. The 3 1936 Ford V8s cost a total of $17 two were $6 each the other $5 the guy selling them had another 29 cars in his car yard for sale some were 1932 and 1934 Ford V8s but these were more expensive at $8/$10 each . Watching this video now makes me cry thinking what we did back in 1967 when aged 19 years old.

Just gorgeous. Back in the days when one was grateful just to have wheels ... but a V8 Pilot WOW!!. That lever under the tacho (under the dash) is to open the front air vent...no? Greetings from Australia.

Yep, that lever opens the cowl vent, which moves A TON of air.

There's no sound quite as sweet as a flathead to us old timers!! I've owned many flatheads since the 1960s, and still have a 37 standard fordor flatback undergoing restoration and a tidy 39 deluxe sedan.

As low as that car is geared it wouldn't hurt a thing to shift from 1st to 3rd or stay in 1st and 2nd very briefly to get to 3rd quickly. Dad's '63 F-100 is like that with a 3.89:1 ratio rear end. Great video great car! I also recommend Amsoil 10W30 Z-rod oil as it has high zinc and is designed for cars like yours.

I like that there's no talking or music. Wish other vid uploaders would realize that. Great vid on car and I'm glad you actually showed it's power. can't believe they had a pretty fast V8 back then, no wonder Bonnie and Clyde liked the Ford Flathead V8s. Powerful.

The original Ford Flathead V8, one of the first cars with sufficient power to keep up with modern highway speeds. Also a favorite get away car with some criminals in the 1930's who wanted to get away from the police. Since this car was able to go faster than most cars in the 1930's.

An earlier version of the Ford V8 kept infamous criminals Bonny and Clyde ahead of the law for a long time. It seems Clyde even wrote to Henry Ford praising his car. The shot up car is preserved in a Casino (rightly) in the US

TheBandana1969 That car still ran. The legit owner, a strong willed woman, came down to claim it, and after a court fight, DROVE it some 60 miles to a truck depot to have it shipped back to Kansas. In June in Louisiana, full of blood and brains.
