My friend bought this car recently. It’s beautiful. Allegedly in a museum. I’ve never seen all the accessories, chrome like it has. Any insight?

Looks to be a very nice car. Good for your friend! Pines (brand name) trim on the grille was an after-market "dress up" kit. Personally I think they detract greatly from the otherwise beautiful design of the '36. By the way, it seems ALL old cars were for most of their life in a museum in California. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

While I agree with Mike that the '36 Pines trim is a minus rather than a plus, to each his own.

I agree..it looks like an afterthought on a beautifully designed car.

Luckily the "feather" trim pieces aren't on the front of the hood! This message was edited by trjford8 on 10-26-19 @ 8:10 AM

I have to agree with all of the negative comments about the "Pines" grille/hood trim. Pines did make a very attractive "winter front"that covered the grille except for an oval section in the center. For my money the 3 window coupes, especially the '35-36 models are a love-it, hate-it affair. A cousin of mine bought a very nice 5 window in '46 when he got out of the Navy following WWII. The car was Washington Blue, DeLux in like new condition having not been driven much during the war years. Less than a year after my cousin bought the car it got wrecked. My cousin bought a 3 window out of a wrecking yard and re-bodied his car. After having had a 5 window my cousin found the 3 window to be very cramped for space with poor visibility, he sold the car in a couple of years, opting for a sedan. Bill 36 5 win delx cpe

That's a very, very nice 3 window '36 coupe. Bill mentions that Pines also marketed a winterfront for 1936 Fords. The V8 Times printed a letter and photos about those a while back. This is what they look like ........ the sliding doors are missing ....... whether or not it's attractive would be a matter of personal taste ........ this one is wall art in our early V8 shop.......

Pretty confident my friend is going to want to join this group and enjoy the comments. I don’t enjoy them either. Wonder why you don’t have more members? See ya
