Love the story and the car. Wishing you all the best and you (in MHO) made the right decision.

Hard to beat '35 and '36 Ford Coupes. Three window or five window doesn't matter!

Nice car!

We're running a set of 'Power Ranger' tires, 6.50/16's, on the '36 pickup.

They came on the truck when I bought it from a fellow in W. Virginia in 2007, over thirteen years ago.

Those buggers look like new still, really wear well. The guy that put them on the truck told me he bought them at a local farm supply store near Beckley.

Bias ply tires, they are a little rough riding starting out cold but settle down real fast! I really like them and they look 'period correct' for a '36 Ford PU

I will agree with your first statement, but not the second. In my opinion, stock '36 3-Window coupes are the "World's most perfectly Proportioned Car" (not 1959 Fords; that was their advertising "hook" that year. Where the hell did they get that?).
