The seller offers for sale this 1937 Ford V8 Pickup, powered by a 3.6 litre 8-cylinder petrol engine combined with a manual gearbox. This example has undergone a frame-off restoration and retains its original Ford steel body and chassis construction.

For improved usability and safety, the vehicle has been upgraded with power steering, power drum brakes, a 12-volt electrical system, air-conditioning, an extra large aluminium radiator and an additional electric cooling fan.

The 1937 Ford V8 Pickup represents an important era in American automotive history. During the late 1930s, Ford’s flathead V8 engines made strong performance accessible to a wide audience, and the Pickup models became valued for both work and leisure use. With its distinctive grille design and robust construction, the 1937 model combines utility with classic styling. Restored examples that incorporate modern driving enhancements offer the charm of pre-war motoring alongside greater comfort and practicality. Today, the 1937 Ford V8 Pickup is appreciated by collectors for its timeless appearance, mechanical character and strong presence at classic car gatherings.
