KingLich amen haha! Seriously though!!! This man deserves a round of ( silent ) applause for that. TH-cam stays annoying me with the “ music “ and all the noise of random ppl yammering on in their incessantly annoying videos 😂 ! Couldn’t agree with ya more , friend !
The rumble of the V8 in this ancient car is awesome. I would leave the mufflers on. Straight pipes would be too brash. This has style and class. Awesome car
I'd love to hear it exactly as Henry would have heard it when it drove out of his plant in 1936. Whatever that configuration is, is the configuration I would have on mine.
Nathan Kirby Exactly, if you are fortunate enough to find an all original classic like this....Leave it be. Everyone I see with one of these either pulls the engine and replaces it with a 5.0 from a fox body mustang or converts it to an LS engine.
I'm happy that this ol classy lady is still racking up miles. Most people get these cars, and stuff em in a garage, as a show car. Nah, this car was built to run. She was built to be driven.
Amen! I get it though. A guy may spend 80 grand getting his '34 roadster perfectly restored, a car he's dreamed about owning since childhood. With that much invested he's terrified to drive anywhere, as I would be. That's why I built my '36 to be as reliable as possible and a solid driver.
@TheBradge lol homey you could take a cylinder head off of it and still drive it. Of course it's reliable enough to daily. Better than this modern plastic trash anyway...fuck's sake our '03 Explorer seems to think the CEL is something that should be lit whenever the engine's running no matter what we do and the Chally is *literally about to lose its face*. Sodding modern garbage.
The mufflers are great, not annoying like straight pipes or causing fatigue on a road trip. If you plan on a lot of heavy loads consider adding another leaf to the springs on each side of the back.
@@CaptainZeek That's true; single traverse springs, front and back and lever type shocks. This setup continued through the 1948 Ford, which was a re-design of the 1942 model.
I just watched a documentary on the ‘32 V8 that went for over an hour and didn’t once demonstrate or even discuss the sound of the engine! A huge part of the V8 mystique.
Masterful demonstration. My first car was a '29 Model A, and of course your '36 is a much more advanced design. I wish everybody today had a chance to ride in one of the cars of the 1930s. It is a special feeling, never to be forgotten. Keep up the good work.
Wow beautiful car man, like others have said already props to you for keeping the flathead v8 and not LS swapping like everyone and their mother has done
Flatheads for life! The LS is a wonderful engine, but if you swap one into a car like this, then you've got to upgrade the transmission, driveline, and rear end. Those original Ford parts will literally explode from all the extra torque. No joke, LOL. Then you're going to need better brakes, steering and suspension to handle that power... It's an endless list to swap an LS here.
A pair of smithy mufflers dual exhaust .. that flathead would have nice tone .. i run this set up on all my flat motor fords .. the 50 mercury Dropped 22 degrees with duals and smitty 24 inch mufflers great video keep them coming ..
What a fun video! My Dad had just bought a '32 Ford with the flathead V8 when he got drafted into WWII. He parked it in his parents garage and when the war was over he came home and found out his sister had "borrowed" it and wrecked it beyond repair. He never replaced it. Enjoy this car for him. He's smiling.
Cars sounds incredible, runs like a top. This raises the bar on road trips, i only wish you road trip everywhere all the time and just talk of stories of your road trips. Genuine love and respect from an engineer in Wisconsin!
@@colehara , I agree with you. Modern vehicles are boring. My daily driver is a 1959 Chevy panel truck, and I wouldn't trade it for anything they're making nowadays. As far as I'm concerned, it's all overpriced junk. Also, no one is going to convince me these modern vehicles which are made out of beer cans, tinfoil, and plastic are safer to ride around in than my old truck which is made out of good ol American steel.
@@suckmydingledong , I've been in two major accidents in my panel truck which has no seatbelts or airbags and came out completely unscathed with little to no damage to my truck. The other vehicles were totalled. I was rear-ended in a 1951 Chevy truck which I also own (no seatbelts or airbags either) and was also uninjured. The only damage to my truck was a broken tail light, but the other truck who hit me was totalled. I was riding with a friend in a modern vehicle when we got rear-ended. I was wearing a seatbelt yet ended up with a very sore neck from it. My friend's car was too damaged to be worth fixing. I've seen quite a few wrecks in these modern vehicles where the occupants end up severely injured from an impact that wouldn't even put a dent in one of my trucks. So, you drive the modern vehicles made out of plastic and beer cans, if it makes you feel safer, and I'll drive my old ones built out of steel. And no, I don't believe in a flat Earth.
1936 was a watershed year for all cars!!!My Dad owned a 1936 Ford pick-up,and also a 1936 Pontiac 4 dr.sedan with side mounts.Gray mohair interior,.I loved sitting in the rear seat!!
Beautiful car, and I am in love with the Ford flathead! I am looking to get a Ford pickup with one. And, yes, I will drive it constantly. These vehicles are meant to be driven and enjoyed. In response to the question on the exhaust...keep her stock!
Yep, you've just gotta give those old-style syncrhos a second or two to do their thing. Be gentle and you'll never grind the gears. Thanks for watching!
I'm envious! Just a decent "driver" example of a total classic cruising on those open roads.....a dream for me. I would install an upgraded period radio and listen to mid-'30's hot jazz. Really create the mood. Enjoy that beauty!
Dude!!! shes a beauty!! I have a 1971 Ford Galaxie 500, 351 Windsor FMX auto. Bought it from a family who owned it since new!! when i got her she had 44,000 original miles! She is my daily driver, she just turned over 50,000! and counting!! No one should be afraid to drive these babies as long as you take great care of them
This is just, nice. Just classic, therapeutic, relaxing to listen to. Old iron like this is becoming more and more rare each year. Thank you for keeping her alive sir.
Had a beautiful 36 years ago, only thing non-stock was the suspension. Installed an extra main leaf, longer shackles to return the hight to original and installed decent shocks. Made it very stable...Later sold it to a fellow who installed hydraulic brakes, last time I saw her, she was headed to Oklahoma towing a trailer...Incidentally, that Ford had a solid roof, no fabric. Never saw another.
@@AutoEsoterica There was no sign of any metal work on the outside, never removed the headliner, in fact I hadn’t paid attention to the roof till someone pointed it out to me, we speculated it was one of the last built and was an experiment, Ford was noted for doing that… Bought it from an older couple from a newspaper ad.
To comment on the dirt road… that road is probably closer to the roads this thing drove on when it was new, perhaps a bit better maintained and smoother. Looks like its natural habitat. Beautiful car! Sounds great also, gotta love the V8!
Oh yeah, you're absolutely correct. The roads this car would have been driven on when new would have been dirt and likely in terrible shape. It's interesting, because this car LOVES rough roads at lower speeds. It eats up potholes and washboard surfaces unlike any other vehicle I've driven. It's kind of remarkable how well the car kind of just floats over huge bumps and ruts. I think it's due to the friction in the springs, but you actually feel highway expansion joints (when both front wheels hit the joint at the same time) more than some potholes.
I have a 37 with the v8 60 HP. My grandfather bought the car brand new in 1937. $700. My dad started to restore it 40 years ago and it’s been in his shop ever since. I plan to finish what he started someday soon. Thanks for the video and the inspiration to get it back on the road.
My dad and his brothers went in together on a '36 Ford just like yours when they got back from serving in WWII. The dirt road to their dad's farm would be mud half the time, so they'd put chains on the rear tires and mud that '36 from the highway to the farm as soon as it would begin to dry out. After mudding the car in first gear, spinning the tires all the way from the highway to the farm at night, the exhaust manifolds would be so hot that they'd glow slightly red, and they said when you saw the red glow, she was really running good. Now, about your sound: What you want is a pair of electric solenoid actuated exhaust cutouts, one on each straight pipe. That way you can select between the awesome Flathead V8 roar when you want it, and the glass packs. Also, very important to the sound is to put a balance pipe between the two exhausts as close to the engine as possible. Without the balance pipe, you get that blatty sound from uneven pulses that isn't nearly as nice as the throaty roar with evened pulses that you get when the two pipes are balanced.
I had a ‘41 Sedan I drove all over the place for 20 years. I had a lot of fun like you do and I had a lot of maintenance. Wishing you continued success, the operating texture and experience of piloting a Flathead V-8 is priceless.
I found this video while searching for title ideas for my own 1936 Ford video I was uploading. I love it! The external shots were great, you were really hauling it! My dad and I have taken our 36 sedan cross country several times, there’s really no better way to see the states.
Incredible. I congratulate you on how beautiful the car is, please do not ruin it, leave it completely original, it is a relic. I send greetings to you a madman for Ford, from Argentina 🇦🇷
Sweet flathead Ford V8 music. With that you don't need a radio. I had a 49 Ford 2 Dr sedan with a flathead V8 with headers and dual exhausts with cherry bomb mufflers. It sounds dedicated great!
no car today can give you such a good feeling and smile . no electronics no comfort nothing but even without them this car give you smile ... so different the cars today :(
wow a toilet paper dispenser for the front passengers! Ford thought of everything. A beautiful car and you're enjoying it in the way it was meant to be...fantastic!
She's an absolute gorgeous specimen, and I hope she lasts well past 150 years from her date of birth. Brought a tear to my eye. My great grandfather had a 1931 Dodge limousine, it was the most beautiful and elegant car I had ever seen. He had gotten it from his father when his father had been sent overseas in the coming of WWII. For nearly two decades, she sat in a barn, with tarps on the posts around her to keep her from being taken for scrap. It was passed onto my grandfather's possession, and was finally pulled from the dark in the late 1970s as the very car he had taken my grandmother to the hospital as she was going into labor with my mother. The old Dodge had less than seventy-thousand miles on it. She was nearly pristine, being oiled, and cleaned every so often to ensure her condition. Due to my Father not being favored by my grandfather, the beauty was not passed on. My grandfather had it safe for years somewhere in northeastern Pennsylvania, it was kept in an old tin hangar at a factory hidden in the woods. I remember seeing it only once or twice when I was eight and ten years old... But with the loss of my grandfather around seven years ago, he took with him the secret to the family car. She lay resting in the hangar as far as we were aware at the time of his death. He was the only one who knew her location, so now she lays hidden, waiting to be found. The day my grandfather had passed, he asked for me to come see him in the hospital. He had something for me, laying there unable to open his eyes. A combination of a lengthy battle of cancer, mixed with decades of being a volunteer firefighter had torn the old man. I remember when he handed me the leather satchel. It looked like an old travel bag, greatly decayed from age. He had instructed me to open it, and to my surprise there was an vehicle key and and a faded document that I at the time had no idea what it was. It was the title and key signed over to my name, when I would become 18, I'd inherit the hidden treasure. He told me to look further in the bag, it had a very illegible handwritten note, looked like instructions on how to get to somewhere. Granted, my younger curiousity, it made my grandfather on his deathbed chuckle. He coughed, and I remember how he fought to breathe. It brings a tear to my eye, seeing him in such pain. Between his terrible coughing fits, he began to tell me the location of the car. He passed before he could, the hospital staff pushed me out. The key and the title are away, in a safe in the possession of distant relative. As for the car, she's still out there, waiting to be found. Nobody in the family had any idea where she was kept, and so, she's still asleep. Waiting to be awaken after all these years
Back in the 1940's I owned a 1935 Ford 4 door and a 1936 Ford 4 door convertible, I paid $35 for the 1935 and $100 for the 1936 convertible. both in great condition.
As is , sounds perfect. What a great car. Just to experience what an old car like that was like to drive in it's original form through a scenic country must feel a bit like being in another time
Wow, takes me WAY back to 1961 when my brother and a friend and I bought the exact same year/model for $50 in Los Angeles. We drove the heck out of it for a few months before my insurance company refused to renew because the car didn't have hydraulic brakes. Miss that old bus; what a great car.
Great story and thanks for watching! When properly set up (with the shoes arced to the drums, new bushings, straight brake rods, fresh wedges and rollers, new clevises and pins, etc.) mechanical brakes are just as good as the early hydraulics, you just have to adjust them occasionally. But best of all, you never have to worry about a leaky wheel cylinder.
That phrase: "It was built to drive, not baby" I absolutely love that phrase! If its not going to be driven then put it in a museum, otherwise drive that SOB! Just cause its old doesn't mean it ain't drivable!
Oh, there was music..... the sweet sound of a V8.
Absolutely! That flathead V8 is music to my ears all the way!
All classic engines are musical. And each has a unique sound!
That glorious sweet eight part flathead symphony knows no rival!
"no talking, no music"
*smashes on table* THANK YOU!
KingLich amen haha! Seriously though!!! This man deserves a round of ( silent ) applause for that. TH-cam stays annoying me with the “ music “ and all the noise of random ppl yammering on in their incessantly annoying videos 😂 ! Couldn’t agree with ya more , friend !

I'd love to hear it exactly as Henry would have heard it when it drove out of his plant in 1936. Whatever that configuration is, is the configuration I would have on mine.
At least you didn’t tear the engine out and replace it with a generic LS engine like everyone does.
Yea keep the classics alive
Nathan Kirby
Exactly, if you are fortunate enough to find an all original classic like this....Leave it be.
Everyone I see with one of these either pulls the engine and replaces it with a 5.0 from a fox body mustang or converts it to an LS engine.
Demon50 The majority of the ones I see have a 350 SBC in then rather than an LS.
Nothing beats a Flat Head, especially the 8BA version 48-52.
Yep, the LS is an AMAZING engine platform, just not in a car like this. Flatheads are so smooth and quiet, I love 'em!
I'm happy that this ol classy lady is still racking up miles. Most people get these cars, and stuff em in a garage, as a show car.
Nah, this car was built to run. She was built to be driven.

Sodding modern garbage.
Thanks for getting into it and not babying it.
Perfect. The old car sounds unfiltered. There’s nothing like the experience of driving vehicles from another time.
I love how you are not afraid of dirt roads! You are exactly right plus these cars were pretty much built for that
The mufflers are great, not annoying like straight pipes or causing fatigue on a road trip. If you plan on a lot of heavy loads consider adding another leaf to the springs on each side of the back.
Tame too great for everyday driving now for racing I would definitely striaght pipe it
I think it has a single transverse spring in the back.
@@CaptainZeek That's true; single traverse springs, front and back and lever type shocks. This setup continued through the 1948 Ford, which was a re-design of the 1942 model.
There’s nothing like a carbed flathead gulping air. That sound alone is awesome.
Thanks for watching!
Carbureted.
Perfection!
The best video!!!! No music...no trash...ONLY BEAUTYFUL NICE FORD!!!!!!
Love that car, imagine cruising around in the thirties in that 😊
Ciaran Burke Imagine cruising around in that today😎
With a Chicago typewriter in the glove compartment?
Stay away from Hoover towns, or it will get stolen.
@@clockworkmultiverse92 ah the good ol' days
ClockworkMultiverse on your lap beats the glovebox.
I just watched a documentary on the ‘32 V8 that went for over an hour and didn’t once demonstrate or even discuss the sound of the engine!
A huge part of the V8 mystique.
I was waiting for Bonnie and Clyde to appear at any moment!
they were 4 years dead when this car was built
Me top😂😂😂😂😂😂
They were using a 1934 Ford, not a 1936
Well, the way he was driving, I was beginning to think Bonnie and Clyde were IN the car!
No suicide doors!
YES! Finally a person who isnt scared of using their classic car! Lovely video, sights and sounds are perfect!
Thanks for driving it the way it was meant to be driven.
I very much appreciate the video title. All car videos should be like this
That’s a very solid car. Zero squeaks or rattles. Impressed.
Wonderfull machine goin to museum
I appreciate the videos with no music. Cool to watch. Thanks!
No Talking, No Music.. Just Smiling.
Masterful demonstration. My first car was a '29 Model A, and of course your '36 is a much more advanced design. I wish everybody today had a chance to ride in one of the cars of the 1930s. It is a special feeling, never to be forgotten. Keep up the good work.
Running far better than any modern day SUV or sedan even off the road.
These old Fords are very capable offroad! They were built at a time when most roads were poor or nonexistent.
Fabulous flathead V8love that rumble
Excellent video! Just awesome hearing that flathead sing! Best to you!
Thanks so much for watching!
Now that was a badass video.....brought me instantly to the 1930's
Love that car...❤
That’s what I like....no talk, no music. Just engine roar and shocks behavior. Thank you.
I wonder if the guys making it at the time realized they were creating one of the greatest exhaust notes for centuries to come
That V8 is super dialed in. Sounds fantastic.
no music, no talking.Thank you
Ive' owned a few 36 fords,--they look so good !-sound Great,-and are reliable & easy to fix !!-after seeing this i'm going to buy another one
The world needs more videos like this. Straight forward, pure pleasure to watch and listen.
A beautiful sound indeed.

High torque very quiet engine....one of Fords greatest achievements 🙌....imagine that engine today with all our technology. Thumps up ...Henry
That exhaust note is fantastic. Don't touch it ever again.
You couldn't beat the sound of that flatheat with a 2x4
Nice to see you enjoying your car. Simple pleasures in life are really the best.

An electric car will never sound this good! Long live the V8.
Thank you so much for keeping him stock. Unlike those nasty rat rods
I loved seeing the tachometer where the radio would normally be. This tach looks like it was custom-made for said spot.
- it's a tachometer from a light aircraft. Works perfectly there and looks almost 'stock'.

She's an absolute gorgeous specimen, and I hope she lasts well past 150 years from her date of birth. Brought a tear to my eye. My great grandfather had a 1931 Dodge limousine, it was the most beautiful and elegant car I had ever seen. He had gotten it from his father when his father had been sent overseas in the coming of WWII. For nearly two decades, she sat in a barn, with tarps on the posts around her to keep her from being taken for scrap. It was passed onto my grandfather's possession, and was finally pulled from the dark in the late 1970s as the very car he had taken my grandmother to the hospital as she was going into labor with my mother. The old Dodge had less than seventy-thousand miles on it. She was nearly pristine, being oiled, and cleaned every so often to ensure her condition. Due to my Father not being favored by my grandfather, the beauty was not passed on. My grandfather had it safe for years somewhere in northeastern Pennsylvania, it was kept in an old tin hangar at a factory hidden in the woods. I remember seeing it only once or twice when I was eight and ten years old... But with the loss of my grandfather around seven years ago, he took with him the secret to the family car. She lay resting in the hangar as far as we were aware at the time of his death. He was the only one who knew her location, so now she lays hidden, waiting to be found. The day my grandfather had passed, he asked for me to come see him in the hospital. He had something for me, laying there unable to open his eyes. A combination of a lengthy battle of cancer, mixed with decades of being a volunteer firefighter had torn the old man. I remember when he handed me the leather satchel. It looked like an old travel bag, greatly decayed from age. He had instructed me to open it, and to my surprise there was an vehicle key and and a faded document that I at the time had no idea what it was. It was the title and key signed over to my name, when I would become 18, I'd inherit the hidden treasure. He told me to look further in the bag, it had a very illegible handwritten note, looked like instructions on how to get to somewhere. Granted, my younger curiousity, it made my grandfather on his deathbed chuckle. He coughed, and I remember how he fought to breathe. It brings a tear to my eye, seeing him in such pain. Between his terrible coughing fits, he began to tell me the location of the car. He passed before he could, the hospital staff pushed me out. The key and the title are away, in a safe in the possession of distant relative. As for the car, she's still out there, waiting to be found. Nobody in the family had any idea where she was kept, and so, she's still asleep. Waiting to be awaken after all these years
What a rippa!
Without any music, fantastic.
That’s thing is so classy I love it!
Flathead is one of the the coolest sounding engines ever
No talking, no music. I love you !
Back in the 1940's I owned a 1935 Ford 4 door and a 1936 Ford 4 door convertible, I paid $35 for the 1935 and $100 for the 1936 convertible. both in great condition.
As is , sounds perfect. What a great car. Just to experience what an old car like that was like to drive in it's original form through a scenic country must feel a bit like being in another time
Looks great! Thanks for sharing...and for using the car as it was meant to be used.
What a sweet piece of machinery!! Green with envy.... enjoy!!
It sounds great
Wow, takes me WAY back to 1961 when my brother and a friend and I bought the exact same year/model for $50 in Los Angeles. We drove the heck out of it for a few months before my insurance company refused to renew because the car didn't have hydraulic brakes. Miss that old bus; what a great car.
Great story and thanks for watching! When properly set up (with the shoes arced to the drums, new bushings, straight brake rods, fresh wedges and rollers, new clevises and pins, etc.) mechanical brakes are just as good as the early hydraulics, you just have to adjust them occasionally. But best of all, you never have to worry about a leaky wheel cylinder.
That phrase: "It was built to drive, not baby"
I absolutely love that phrase! If its not going to be driven then put it in a museum, otherwise drive that SOB! Just cause its old doesn't mean it ain't drivable!
