The classics: 1936 Ford Deluxe Cabriolet’s appeal hard to resist

The restored 1936 Ford Deluxe Cabriolet seemed to call out to Keith Randall at an antique automobile auction he was attending in Pennsylvania.

Even though Randall had no intention of bidding on the car, he could not resist the appeal of the Cordoba Tan Ford with the Poppy Red pinstripes. Consequently Randall became the new owner of the car in October 2015.

Some of the history that came with the car indicated that it was purchased as a basket case in Miami back in 1988. A shop in Homasassa, Florida, performed a frame-off restoration on the Ford over the next four years. Upon completion, the owner took the like-new car on the “show circuit.” “He chose to show the car rather than drive it,” Randall said.
