Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 This is a bit unusual. https://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/d/broad-brook-rare-1936-ford-cunningham/7768988664.html Looks pretty good either for an early V8 guy who has everything already or? "Application consideration" for CCCA I would guess. No different though than the Ford based Brewsters I believe are Full Classics. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif in Calif Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Checks a lot of boxes! Very fun to see! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 To me it needs the right buyer though. Not saying it's overpriced as I don't know but I do know you can get an open 35 - 36 Ford in nice condition for around his ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I'd be interested to know who these were originally marketed to. Seems like you'd need to be connected with Ford to want one hen they were new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 I think same guy had a Mopar chassis Brewster towncar for sale for a while. I don't know him but he is in central CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Super rare and theoretically should be worth 35K all day long but who knows? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Trucker Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Not a car you'd take the grandkids in for ice cream, or the St. Bernard to the vet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you'd need to be connected with Ford to want one hen they were new. By the mid-1930's, there was still a small but diminishing market for the chauffeur-driven, carriage-trade formal town cars. In the tenor of the times, it was unseemly to flaunt one's wealth so a high-quality. coach-built town car on a plebian chassis was perceived as more socially acceptable. Brewster, Cunningham and Derham were trying to develop a niche that would allow them to continue in the coachbuilding, but it was mostly over with. Sorry, I forgot Rollston/Rollson was also participating in this dying niche.

alsancle Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I think it is a nice alternative to the ubiquitous Brewster Ford. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
