Description for Ford Other 1937

1937 Ford Four Door Sedan Convertible Street Rod
You are viewing an original all still Ford with only 4,300 built in 37. Very few all original steel cars of this model exist today. They are very rare and very cool when built right. This car has a long history in the NW. The car was in the Spokane area in the 40’s and 50’s purchased in the early 60’s and went to Montana. It was bought and brought back to Spokane in 2006. Very original car with excellent sheet metal. Since the early 60’s when it was in Montana it was indoors and stored up until the time of purchase in 2006 (44 years). The build was started in 2009 and finished in 2011 with 4K miles driven since finished. A complete and full professional restoration, which cost 150K. Marty Stromberger built the car from Spokane, WA who was one of the key builders on the 38 Lincoln Zephyr and 36 Chrysler Airflow Street Rods, both built here in Spokane and sold at Barrett Jackson 2004 and 2005 for 400 and 500K. Records to this day. This car is a high end professionally build with a lot of attention to detail and it shows. Drives and rides excellent at any speed.

All body panels, door were worked to provide a near perfect fit, shaved, added to in order to get the best fit as possible and it shows.
