1936 Ford Cunningham Town Car (3 of 3)
A total of 37 Ford Cunningham Town Cars were built between 1935 and 1937, and only 17 of these cars are known to exist. Cunningham began as a maker of carriages, but by the time of the Great Depression, the company decided to produce a lower cost town car. Beginning with a 1936 Ford, Cunningham removed the body from behind the cowl and replaced it with their own body, which included an open drivers area, and a large passenger area with seating for four. According to the owner, the engine and chassis were unchanged and remained entirely Ford, However, Cunningham removed the Ford name from all visible parts to distinguish it as a Cunningham Automobile.
Photographed at the Early Ford V-8 Club of America 2014 Central National Meet in Springfield, Illinois on August 19-22, 2014.
