1935 Ford 4 door Sedan, Standard vs Deluxe

[nickg112]

Can anyone please tell me the differences between a standard and a deluxe model on a 1935 4 door sedan? Trying to identify a real one from the factory to an upgraded one. Any help is appreciated.

Here is a link to the 1935 Ford full line brochure. It lists the standard equipment and finishes of both the Ford and the Deluxe Ford.

The upgrades are easy to make, dual horns, chrome windshield, right side tail light and paint on the dash and window moldings along with the other minor differences, so it may be hard to be positive that a restored car started out as a Deluxe.

Thanks for the information. That really helps. What about the chrome strip above the hood louvers? I don't see anything about those. I see some standard and most deluxe cars with it

I believe that the 3 stainless strips on the hood louvers were on all cars shipped from the factory.

 

If you would like more specific information on the 1935 Ford, I suggest that you buy the Early Ford V-8 Club's 1935-1936 Book. It is a guide to a correct restoration of these cars and contains many details that are not in the sales brochures.

Go to the Ford Store to find the book.
