Let's see your 1937 Ford.

There was a time when the 1937 Ford was considered an "ugly duckling" by some auto enthusiasts. I never held that opinion. And these days many have come to appreciate the beauty of the 1937 Ford. I love the beautiful art deco Zephyr influenced design of the 1937 Ford. My favorite pre-war Ford.

Please post a photo of your 1937 Ford car or truck. Thanks.

Here's one of mine when it was assembled in bare metal before painting. It has been wedge chopped a bit, so isn't so accepted here, but it will be a nice car when finished. I'm in the final stages of blocking now and will be house of kolor jet black when done.

37 styling is one of the best, especially the taillights.

50+ years ago up til about 10 yrs ago I used to think they were ugly ducklings. I'm even starting to like the 38-39 standards now.

My dad has always said that Chrysler stole the design for the PT Cruiser from Ford's 37. What do you think?

My aunt with my uncle's 37 in 1945:

I am posting these photos for my faraway friend Chris. Chris (aka: SWOOPNZ) had purchased this car right in my "back yard", here in Wisconsin and had it shipped to his stomping grounds in New Zealand.
Chris WILL get this car looking beautiful. He has a long track record of doing so with others he has "snatched away" from us boys here in the USA.
I am proud of Chris in his perseverance and his obvious courage to tackle challenges many would be too frightened to take on.
