The Ford V8 Deluxe Cabriolet 1936

 

Ford offered fun motoring for sunny days with the beautiful 1936 V8 Deluxe Cabriolet. The following pictures show models by Danbury Mint and Franklin Mint - both are great models. The lustrous Washington Blue paint job on the Danbury Mint version together with real leather upholstery and fantastically detailed dashboard give this one the edge, for myself at least. I just wish that the best elements of both could be combined. For example, I feel that the wheels on the Franklin Mint model are just that bit more realistic. The 1936 Ford Convertibles and 3 Window Coupes are my all time favourite cars,  both in model form and Scale 1/1.
