1936 Ford model Y

[@roygardiner2229]

Dad owned one shortly after the end of WWII. He drove himself, Mum, Granny, Grandad, my bother (circa 8) and me (circa 6) all over England. The confidence of youth!

[@davidhorsfield4462]

Amazing!! Just found this video clip. I now own "336". Bought it last year & love it. Everyone who sits in it just smiles.....

[@chavslayer667]

No way really? I was wondering where it went

[@robdavies8254]

Probably the prettiest small car ever built. Just lovely.

[@johnfenner347]

An absolute beauty !. My father had one, in 1948. Marvellous.

[@tadpoles10]

Scary or what, searched for a 'Ford model Y' to find yours. Back the late 1940s my grandad had just such a car, his registration BRK 117 can't get much closer than that. Yours looks & sounds a treat, thanks for sharing. atvb t ..

My first car was a 1936 Y type 8 that had a duff 6 volt battery but having no money resorted to heavty swinging ,sometimes link two 6volt batteries on a cold day to make 12 volts spin it.Remember no water pump meant no heater too and those lovely vacuum wipers that failed when going uphill on full throttle.Oh as a young lad I stripped and renewed the centre gearbox bush and replaced worn sincro rings to stop the usual jumping out of second gear.This seemed to be a fault with most 3speed gearboxes until the seventies!Oh yes dont forget weak rear half shafts that would break allowing a rear wheel and hub to leave you behind!

[@howardsimpson489]

Not to mention the wicked non-existant brakes. Even with weekly adjustment for balance you always used the ten second rule not the 3 second rule. The next Ford 10 had a vacuum tank for the wipers, they were easy to fit. The transverse springs meant learning early how to control drifting safely at low speed. But they were very light and easy on petrol.

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice car

[@terrycastleman4037]

Now that's a car, i remember very well 1957 _8_9 my Dad had one of those great memories i remember when I was 12 years old i drove that car on Harpenden common yes my Dad let me drive it brilliant

[@andrewmorris9586]

beautiful thing gleaming,i notice the starting handle is at the ready,it was always the way

[@bernardrandles8013]

My late father had a Ford Y spent more time underneath it than driving it, said he'd never have another Ford and he never did, had a couple of Austin A35 country man's then VW beetles x 2 then in last motor was a mk 1 formel c Golf

[@mcammack86]

I find its much easier with the handle. I give it a few turns slowly then give it a couple of hard turns an she fires rite up. When i bought her she had been with the same family since new! Even has the original key

[@servandoloredo7255]

Nice, love the sound of that cam

[@JoseAntonio-xx2sx]

Muito legal, um carráo muito bonito. Neste tempo eu ainda náo tinha nascido. Parabens amigos.. sou Brasileiro eu falo idioma portugues . Abraços desde suldeste do BRASIL...

[@robertreisner8132]

I think it's a 1934 Y model one of my favorites.

[@ranger1496]

Agree🤠

[@gertvanderhorst2890]

Were they all so nicely upholstered (roof and red sides) or is this a luxury model?

[@georginacathcart9803]

Is this the one that used to appear at Chelford Steam Fair ,Cheshire,every year in the nineties? That one was superb and unrestored as far as I can recollect. Just about as near to new as could be,brilliant example.

[@terrygiddings129]

I bought a 1936 Y model 2 door in 1956 paid £125 for it, it was green bodied with black wings. It was inIt as I very good condition

[@dmarcucio]

Very nice!!! I hope to get mine running! I just purchased a 1935 Ford Model Y that needs restoration. I live in the US and I guess there are not many here. I think I'm going to have a hard time getting parts in the US for it.

[@howardsimpson489]

Try New Zealand.

[@johnnymercer9074]

good little ford

[@smug8567]

I'm surprised they retained the factory front suspension torsion bars when coilovers were used in the rear.

[@manuelreyes4600]

That's the perfect car for me

[@kenpage1107]

My brother had one of these in 1958, paid 7pound ten for it, what they fetching now, 30 bob?.

[@bernardrandles8013]

Yeah you got that right mate they were absolutely horrible my dad had one, never had a Ford after that, when I passed my driving test in 1971 said to my dad going to buy a car, his response was don't bring a Ford here! So I bought a decent Morris 1000 van ex GPO brilliant vehicle

[@howardsimpson489]

Now $10 or 20000.

[@oswaldowalterspat1485]

Talvez até um 32. Os 36 já tinham o motor V8 ( 7 BA ) de cabeçote plano.

[@mgn5667]

pretty cool

[@alexgreen1559]

Fantastic! My grandmother used to have a Model Y (reg. CTO 517). I have a 1931 Riley Saloon, and it always reminds her of the Ford. Also, I've been wondering for a while whether these are sychro gearboxes or not?

[@mcammack86]

The top 2 gears are syncro but first needs the double de-clutch

[@oswaldowalterspat1485]

Esse é um Ford 34 e não 36

[@dariozanettefilho7837]

SHOW CAR

[@chavslayer667]

Thinking of selling her if anyones interested
