Without a doubt the most iconic/popular models of the Early Ford V8's is the '32, 36, & '40.. Ya I know some people think the '34-39 is where it's at.
For me the '36, and not just because I have owned one for almost 60 years is without a doubt the best looking car that Ford ever made.
The '35 does have a little bit more of a classic look with the wire wheels, external horns and flatter grille, however, the whole body, the shape of the rear fenders, grille, etc., on a '36 just flows together...
The mechanical improvements of the '36 is something that is hard to put in prospective because they are unseen..
The final difference is spelled out in the sales figures of the two vehicles.. The '36 Ford outsold the '35 by several thousand units, and in fact out sold Chevy for the first time since the Model A...
The public voted with their check books, not their hearts.
