In your place, I would buy the V-8 Club's 1935-1936 Book and use it to determine what is correct and incorrect for your car. Then you can decide if you want to show it on the Concourse at a National Meet or Touring Class. Most local shows do not require cars to have all "correct" parts. You have a very nice car and it should do well at local shows and in Touring Class at aV-8 Club National Meet. I cannot give you any guidance on how well it will do on the Concourse, that takes a on-site inspection by a person familiar with the Club's judging standards for a 1936 Roadster.

Nice car, Soundguy2000! Welcome to the Early Ford V8 Club Of America. Re: "This is all new to me and I'm just trying to figure this old car out." ............ During ten years of coast-to-coast cruising in our red '36, much has been learned about these Model 68 Fords. As shown in the club's Roster, you can reach me anytime at 519-666-2891 if you'd like to discuss what we have experienced so far. Or use SEND P.M. to provide your telephone number, and I'll call you long distance at my expense. .

Perhaps taken out of context... IF the car was equipped with whitewall tires they were double sided.

Kirkstad, I disagree with the statement that it's supposed to have double whitewalls. Blackwalls were standard equipment on all Fords, and as optional equipment, double whitewalls were considerably less popular than they are today.

Beautiful car! The red looks great and I love the skirts. Enjoy it. It's supposed to have double white wall tires also, so where does it end? I would love to see more cars like that at the local shows near me.

I think it also looks good without the skirts

Yes. That was my concern.

Perhaps I don't understand the original question. The poster is seemingly concerned about "original" skirts when no such thing was offered. How about original color? A red '36? Mike "Kube" Kubarth
