Default Re: Which do you prefer 1935 or 1936??

Do your research. From "The Production Figure Book for U.S. Cars" by Jerry Heasley: 1935 Ford Calendar year production.... 942,439. 1936 Ford Calendar year production.... 791,812. 1935 Ford new passenger car Registrations: ....826,519. 1936 Ford new passenger car registrations....748,554. 1935 Chevrolet calendar year production.....793,437. 1936 Chevrolet Calendar year production....975,238. 1935 Chevrolet new Passenger Car Registrations....656,698. 1936 Chevrolet new Passenger Car registrations....930,250. Ford plainly out produced the competition in 1935 and didn't do it again until 1957. 1936 was a poor year for Ford sales compaired to the 1936 Chevrolet sales. 1935 Fords rule over the 1936 Fords. Always have. I own both years. I also have the book "The serial number book for U.S. Cars 1900-1975" by Grace Brigham. Both books are very good reading for production figures for body types too..
