Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
Nothing personal, but the post war sedans were ugly INHO. 33-34, being the best looking cars. No such thing as an ugly truck though. Rod

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
'38 Deluxe is the prettiest, '38 Standard the homeliest.

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
I'm partial to 40's, I have a standard 2dr sedan that I prefer to the deluxe just because they arent so prevalent. I would say 40 Deluxes outnumber the standards by 4 to 1 (or higher) at most shows. I think any 46 to 48 rates as the ugliest but they are still much better looking than a 46-48 GM product.

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
I think you can get an overall "best idea" of what folks believe are the prettiest vs. ugliest by the values. That will be skewed of course a bit due to rarity. However, it'll give you a good overall idea.
1932 by any manufacturer has for a long time been considered by many (most?) to be the pinnacle of prewar styling.

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
The '34 roadster was Ford's crowning achievement in my humble opinion, Sure wish I owned one.

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
Guess we will all be biased based on what we own and what we can afford to own 32s to me are very Model A ish 33/34 a styling of their own after that they seemed to me to be very similar. Go the Kiwis in San Francisco!!!

I was waiting for the inevitable "37 is the ugliest".

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
33-34 Model 'A'ish Not my favorites
'37 Sedan is quite attractive it is "One Off" and does require some "appeal" adjustment time |

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
A black '39 deluxe coupe has to be one of Ford's finest designs.
Also... '39 standard coupe '38 standard coupe - with the stainless trim '37 coupe Homeliest - has to 1936 Last edited by swoopNZ; 09-19-2013 at 09:00 PM. |

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
From the front, the 33-34's, the 36 Coupes and Roadster, 38 Deluxe Coupe and convertibles. I used to think of the 35 Grille as the plainist but in recent years I've come around. From the rear the 39-40 Coupe is pretty hard to beat. As someone else said All Trucks, Ford got those right in style, easy to look at and functional too.
Postwar? Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
They are like women... They are all beautiful in there own way... However, I'm partial to all the Fat Fenders, '35 to '48, but my vote for the “most beautiful” would have to be the ’39 Lincoln Zephyr & ’40 Lincoln Zephyr Continental.

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
This is a loaded question for sure. I like them all, just some better than others. At the top of my list are the 32's and the 33 a very close second.

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
Well, of course we all like our current ride. The fat fenders are great for ride and cruising.
And I got an endorsement from the Flathead King (Walt) who had one in his younger days and said the back seat was the greatest. |

Re: prettiest years and ugliest years
I really like the 41 coupes. I also like the 46 through 48 coupes. Throw the 42 coupe in there also.
