The 35 has it's classic look, maybe why I've had nine for 43 years.

35 5window · 02-15-2013, 03:09 PM

5 window 35 because I have one and like the grill and wire wheels and horns . But if I could have both I wouldnt complain at all especially a 36 roadster or a 35 roadster.

CP · 02-15-2013, 03:24 PM

I have a 35 5 window.....but id take a 33 or 34 any day. i like the way the front fenders swoop under the grilles, very pretty. compared to a 36?......i don't like the internal horn look. There it is...

oh yeah. "I may know...but I'm no pro"

how's that Jim "trulyvintage".

Ken Bull · 02-15-2013, 03:35 PM

The 36 Cabriolet is my choice! I do prefer the 35 Waterfall.

35cab · 02-15-2013, 06:02 PM

35, but I am biased, mainly for the grille but the wings flow much nicer than the 36.

The 35-36 early ford book shows every difference between the 2 years. Any body with or considering a 35-36 has to get Don's book. I've had my 35 roadster for 27 years, so for me it has to be the 35.

Shadetree · 02-15-2013, 08:02 PM

I have a `35 but I like the `36 best. I had an opportunity a few years back to trade my `35 ragtop for a freshly restored `36 5 window coupe. I didn't do it. I should have looked at it...

rgtharley · 02-15-2013, 08:25 PM

Well, I have to put my 2 cents in as well. I guess it's like anything else, if you wind up with a 72 Ford Pinto, you naturally see every Pinto on the road ( all three of them), and find yourself partial to them. So now that I have become the current care taker of two 35's, I tend to appreciate them a little more than the other early V8's. I too, look at all of them, and wish I could own them all. 35s just seem so bold and fresh of a design from the 34s that they sort of stand alone. 36s are perhaps the more elegantly designed car between the two years, but it just comes down to personal preference, and of course, which year you happen to own.

It is a 36 Cabriolet with rumble just like my first car pictured in avatar.

Conrad Rossi · 02-15-2013, 09:04 PM

'35 3W, 5W, or phaetom. I got the bug for them at a young age for them. (I hope my '46 doesn't get mad at me),

Lawson Cox · 02-15-2013, 09:27 PM

I prefer 36 passenger car but 35 pickup truck. But, most beautiful car ever built is the 34 Roadster, bar none.

d.conrad · 02-15-2013, 09:48 PM

I like 36 best.

tierod · 02-15-2013, 11:55 PM

36--had a s/w, 5w cpe, phaeton and pu. all gone now. sigh

68HILLBILLY · 02-16-2013, 12:36 AM

I would like to have one of each but prefer the 36 .

Flatout · 02-16-2013, 12:41 AM

I like both, but prefer 35. I also own a 35.

oldandtired · 02-16-2013, 08:17 AM

Between the 35 and the 36 pickup, I prefer the 35. I like the grill better and I like the hood sides better. If you are not running purely stock and using a chrome windshield, chrome horns, a banjo, and maybe even a smiley bumber, the 35 is a very nice looking pickup.

keith oh · 02-16-2013, 12:41 PM

Both the 35 and 36. As a side comment, Dad a Ford dealer in the 30s said he and other dealer friends said when the 37s were introduced, " How on earth are we going to sell those ugly ducklings after the 33 thru 36 beauties"?

Planojc · 02-16-2013, 04:28 PM

I like them both, but like the wire wheels better. As far as cabriolets, I see a lot more 36's than 35's around here.

karasmer · 03-14-2013, 10:11 PM

When I started looing for 30's Fords I skipped right over the 36's. I was never a fan of the grille. My favorites are 34, 35, 37,39/40 in that order

Jersey Joe 67 · 03-23-2013, 08:16 AM

Going to pick up my 36 5W survivor tomorrow.
On that note, I don't think I could decide since they're both so damn AWESOME!
