My father traded our family car plus$ for this.. I was 4 and my life has never been the same . Thanks Dad
Cool on your dad.....our dad drove home a 35/36 mordor - I have a picture somewhere - a 4 door with a hot motor he said - as we begged him to keep it. My dad was an early flipper of cars and the service men on the base were a constant source for cars to flip. Glad yours has been kept in the family !
I dunno @Dooley, maybe it's kind of a coincidence, or just a little ironic... That's me 50 years ago with my first hot rod build...and 50 years later, I'm finishing up a '36 Cabriolet...AND I was born in Buffalo NY
Great looking car! What is the proper name for the three passenger Cabriolet, the top is so much nicer than the one with the back seat IMO. Bob
The cabriolet with a back seat I believe was called a club cabriolet which mine is not! I've only had mine since 2014 but... I did manage to drive it to the LARS in 2016! We covered nearly 6,000 miles in 15 days. I got my first 36, a chopped 3W, in 1983 and have had at least one ever since and, like you, all of them were drivers! If it's too good to drive; it is too good for me. BTW, I really admire your cabriolet and commend you for holding on to it all these years. My problem is I want to hold on to all of them!!
Actually ran into a guy this year with a Club Cabriolet... Mostly original, and he has had it since 59!
