Overview of 1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe Cabriolet For Sale by Owner

While many older Fords like this one have been modified into fire-breathing hot rods, this particular example has been respectfully preserved. This example, offered from Cameron Park, California, has been refreshed, showcasing period features while benefitting from updates such as a repainted finish and a replaced convertible soft top. If you’re looking for a pre-war American classic, then this 1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe Cabriolet could be just the ticket.

Exterior and Interior

Finished in Cordoba Tan, the Cabriolet carries the refined proportions that made the 1936 Ford lineup among the most stylish of the decade. Its soft curves and art-deco details remain intact, while the repainted finish and convertible top enhance its visual presence. The addition of a rumble seat highlights the car’s vintage character, offering an iconic touch of 1930s motoring. Inside, the tan leather interior, features bench seating that balances comfort with period authenticity.

Engine

Power comes from Ford’s 221 cubic-inch flathead V8, paired with a 3-speed sliding-gear manual transmission. This combination delivers smooth, reliable performance that made the flathead famous among early American enthusiasts. The car rides on transverse leaf spring suspension and uses four-wheel mechanical drum brakes, staying true to its pre-war engineering.
