1935 Ford Roadster
The 1935 Ford was one of the sportiest and fastest cars of its day. The peppy little Ford V-8 engine was very popular. In fact, Clyde Barrow(Bonnie and Clyde) once wrote a fan letter to Henry Ford praising the Ford V-8 because its speed and pick up made it a great get-away car. A copy of his letter has been obtained from the Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan and is on display on the next easel.
