Ford Motor Company restyled the front ends on its models for 1936. The vertical-bar grille wrapped farther around the hood sides, and horns on DeLuxe models were set behind screens in the front fenders. New hood side louvers and front vents provided better engine cooling. The standard two-door sedan started at $520. Calendar year production totaled 791,812 units.
