This 1937 Ford Model 78 Base offers a wonderful blend of vintage appeal and modern upgrades, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts who appreciate a classic with character. The black exterior, while maintaining its timeless style, shows signs of age with some noticeable blemishes, but nothing that takes away from the car?s overall presence. It still turns heads wherever it goes, with a well-maintained green interior that features clean bench seats, carpet, and door cards.
Under the hood, the flathead V8 delivers the classic driving experience, paired with a manual transmission. The car has been updated with a 12V battery system for improved functionality and front disc brakes for enhanced safety, while the rear retains the original drum brakes. With the disc brake pads measuring 10/32, the car is road-ready. Additionally, the aftermarket radio with satellite capability adds a touch of convenience to this otherwise period-correct ride, complete with a service manual from its era. The car fires up immediately without hesitation and drives well.
This Model 78 captures the essence of a true classic, offering a blend of originality and practicality without sacrificing its nostalgic charm. Click the "videos" tab above this description box to see a video of the car starting and idling.
