The1935 Ford Coupeis one of the most popular hot rod cars that came out of the 1930's.The design of the 35 coupes speak of speed. Design for the 1935 models had a more rounded look than the 34's.When you look back over the Ford models of 1933 and 1934 you can see that the design became progressively smoother and sleeker.
Ford advertising for the 1935 models spoke of their cars having a"personality". They implied that every new design put into the new 1935 look was part of the overall cars personality. Ford felt that the 1935 designs carried a verywell groomed look. One example pointed out was the new curve designed into the cars "bullet headlamps."Much was also touted regarding the newly designed bumper guards and grille. The said that their new 1935 models were "sturdy fine cars". Ford advertising pointed out that design of the vehicles rear end is as pleasing as that of the front end. Every line of the car has been designed to carry to a logically designed conclusion all the way to the sloping rear end and the baked enamel finish was made even better than that of 1934.1935 Ford Advertising
Ford's 1935 models all had an improved engine with a better built crankshaft and an efficient crankcase ventilation system which Ford named "direct flow". In 1935 Ford moved the engine forward on the chassis 8 1/2 inches. Ford touted that the move forward distributed the weight much better front to back. With the engine moved further forward theframes were redesignedas well. The new frame design also moved the passenger seating forward which centered passenger weight more toward the cars midpoint. Because of these weight distribution changes, the 1935 Fords were built with longer chassis springs. The spring base was increased 6 1/2 inches.Engine and Improvements
