In 1944,  this 1935 Ford was purchased in Glenwood, Iowa by Lee Swinney. Lee was just 17 years old at the time. He went to fight and WWI the next year and when he came back, his car was waiting for him. He kept the car in his possession for the next 79 years until he passed away at the age of 97. If that isn’t cool, we don’t know what is. 

In 2017, the restoration was completed by Rezurected Rod and Kustom in Wayne, NE. This all steel car with original fenders that was stripped down to bare metal and the project began! All new body work was laid out as well as a slick black paint job. The grill, bumpers and windshield surround received all new chrome and the factory wire wheels were refinished in yellow with chrome “V8” caps. 

The fully restored interior features new carpeting with contrasting trimmed edges, a brown pleated seat, and mohare door panels. The car has been upgraded with modern gauges with full instrumentation. The dash and interior window moldings were finished in a beautiful faux wood finish and the headliner was done in the original style fabric. All of the wiring is new from front to rear and was done with an EZ wiring kit complete with modern fuses. 

The Ford fires right up and falls into a nice steady idle. The flathead is a rebuilt, period correct unit running Edelbrock heads, an aluminum intake, Holley carburetor and Fenton exhaust manifolds. The car runs a dual aluminized exhaust system with mellow sounding mufflers.  Keeping things cool is an oversized aluminum radiator with an electric fan. 

The suspension and brake systems are all new and rebuilt with parts from Pete and Jakes. The brakes are “Lincoln” brakes by MT Car. The frame was stripped and refinished in “chassis” black. The tires are BF Goodrich Silvertown, which really set off the overall look. 

In 2017, the car won the Period Perfect award at the Goodguys show in Lincoln, Nebraska and was kept in a museum until we recently purchased it.
