TrjFord8 is right. Keep it. I've heard the same story over and over again since 1972. "My dad had one just like it, restored to perfection and we sold it, Sure wish we still had it!" You found this web site, also look at AACA.com and learn what a great hobby this can be. I think there are more car guys than golfers. We show, drive, repair, restore, talk about, dream about, tinker with, polish, improve, trade, Tour, race, rally, curse at and love and lie about them. Then when our kids eventually get them they can do the same or sell them and regret it later or get into the hobby themselves. Can't do that with golf clubs (except the lying part)

Bart, if you do not need to sell it I would hang onto it. It's a very nice car and you know the history. Once it's gone you will not be able to replace it, even if you decide you want another old Ford someday.

Moxie, dad purchased the mohair upholstery from the LeBaron Bonney Company. Their website is www.lebaronbonney.com and phone number is 1-800-221-5408. Model B, spoke with dad and he said that is without a doubt a 1936 Tudor Deluxe. He stated that it won three Dearborns as a deluxe with those items as they are. They only thing that was added since then was a radiator fan so that it doesn't overheat at traffic lights. You can see the switch for the fan under the dash to the left of the steering column. I hope this helps. Thanks again for everyone's help. I'm still torn on selling it. I'm sure there aren't many #1s out there. I'm moving back to Palm Beach, FL soon and may join the club down there.

Bart...That is a great looking '36! I have never had a '36..I had a '35 3W Cpe, which is a Deluxe model. I am wondering if your '36 isn't a Standard model? i.e. the black gear shift lever & black emergency brake lever along with the 2-digit (miles) speedometer trip counter. Again, I have never had a '36 so I might not know what I am talking about (per usual!). Pat

Thank you all for the great information. I will find out who he used for the upholstery and post it later today.

Don't rule out overseas bidders or buyers. I listed a late 60's Mustang on Hemmings and it sold in three days to a man overseas. He had it placed into a container and sent by boat. You can always list it on Ebay and place a reserve on it, or try Hemmings online. Best of luck.

Bart, that is a very nice car and it's a flatback. They are rarer than the tudor touring sedan. I will still stick to my orighinal estimate of $18,000 to $23,000 based on the current market. I would post a photo ad on this site and on the Fordbarn site. I would also run an ad in the V-8 Times, Hemmings Motor News and in Old Cars Weekly. You should also consider an ad on Craigslist with a photo. It all comes down to exposing the car to as many people as possible. As a word of cautiion when posting your car on the web you will get some e-mails from from people in foreign countries. Do not respond to them as almost all are scams.Real buyers will call on the phone after they e-mail you.

Bart, Based on those pictures, I think your Dad's car is a very nice restoration! If the mechanicals are well done and the car is 100% drivable, then IMHO it should easily be worth 24 to 26k. JM
