Having built my roadster body in a similar fashion using upper cowl, dash, doors, and tulip panel I would take issue with the comment about "longer coupe quarter panels". A careful reading of the text indicates that the "passenger compartment is longer due to roof removal" which would imply that they didn't use the roadster tulip panel to shape the interior dimensions. The 5 window door opening (3 window is different) is the same width as the roadster, so utilizing the roadster tulip panel (along with some B pillar work) will yield a finished body practically indistinguishable from a factory roadster.

All that being said, this is another fine feature story, and yes, it would be great to know where this beauty is today.

 

Thanks for clarifying Uncle Bob-- That explains why the body looks so spot on to my eye!

 

For these where are they now type articles, have you ever gotten anything back like, Hey i know where it is?

 

I really dig this car. The back window is a little wild but works.

 

I think the roof and back window are just fooling our eyes. Pretty cool car.

 

That thing is just.......Swell! Anybody up for a remake, I know some of you have the parts/pieces to do this.Happy motoring, Carp

 

Love that roadster ! When he got home from the war, my pop rebuilt a 38 chevy coupe that had been rear ended by a truck and grafted a 38 pontiac ass end on it including the tail lights. It was all he could find.

 

I'm building the cabrio in my avatar from this UK built 1937 ford four door sedan

 

I like everything about the '36 with the exception of the Circus Car interior.

 

I love it. And I dig "period" cars more than "traditional" so the interior works fine for me. Most of the blog cars don't really knock my socks off, but this one does. Nice!

 

The photos were taken by non other than Dean Moon.

 

he shot a ton of car features...

 

This was a primo 1936 Ford a coupe made into a roadster, a lot of work either way

 

I always wondered if Dave's From Wash. State was made from a 3 window, seems long in the quarter panels to me. Above.
Several guys in the Early Ford club made roadsters from 5 windows..
