While attending one of the most prestigious Classic Car Shows on Long Island in June of 2013 held at Morgan Park located on the north shore of Long Island New York in the town of Glen Cove I came across this amazing classic street racing car built by Ford in 1937. The 1937 Ford Street Rod, the large rounded fenders that carried over into the front of the car on each side of the long vertical grill that made this car for it's day look like something out of the future. This is a front and side view for another direct side view please keep looking in my car gallery for it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did taking this classic. The Ford line of cars was updated in 1937 with one major change � the introduction of an entry-level 136 CID (2.2 L) V8 in addition to the popular 221 CID (3.6 L) flathead V8. The model was a refresh of its predecessor, the Model 48 (itself based on the Model 40A), and was the company's main product. It was redesigned more thoroughly in 1941. At the start of production, it cost $850.
The 1937 Ford featured a more rounded look with fine horizontal bars in the convex front and hood-side grilles. The front grille was V-shaped, rather than following the fenders into a pentagon shape, as on the 1936 model. Faired-in headlights were a major modernization found on both the Standard and DeLuxe trim versions, though much of the rest of the design was shared between Ford's two lines. A larger water pump was used to help aid in cooling.'Slantback' sedans gained a rear trunk door, though space was limited, and 'Trunkback' versions continued gaining sales. The station wagon had seating for eight passengers. A 4 door "convertible sedan" with roll up windows was offered in small numbers in the DeLuxe sries.
