1935 Ford V-8 Touring Sedan

01

Artifact Overview

With car sales ravaged by the Great Depression, styling became a key marketing tool. At Ford, Eugene T. "Bob" Gregorie established a formal styling department in 1935. Ford's cars for that year had a lower, more streamlined appearance enhanced by a more sloped windshield. The integrated trunk and roomier interior on sedan models appealed to families.
