1936 Brewster-Ford Seven-Passenger Limousine	1936 Brewster-Ford Seven-Passenger Limousine 33,550.00 USD 1936 Brewster-Ford Seven-Passenger Limousine $33,550 Worldwide Group Auctions The Old Car Heaven Museum Auction June 19 - 20, 2009 Website: www.wwgauctions.com Lot # 262 CHASSIS NO: 182535324 239 cid L-head V8 engine rated at 100 horsepower, three-speed manual transmission, four-wheel mechanical drum brakes; wheelbase: 127.0" When America fell on tough times in the early 1930s, the custom-body industry took a major hit. Brewster, which had a history dating back to 1810, answered this void by the novel idea of providing top-quality coachwork on a more affordable chassis, and the Ford V8 was selected. Starting with a seven-inch stretch of the basic Ford frame, a selection of bodies was available, each custom-ordered, mated to a very stylish front-end design that featured the famous heart-shaped grille. By using Ford power under the hood, a savings of a couple thousand dollars could be achieved, while the customer could still be seen in one of the latest luxury cars, be it driven by the owner or a hired chauffeur. Among one of the most popular designs was the seven-passenger limousine, with all the finest appointments of the day, including divider window, rear-seat heating, intercom, and the most luxurious broadcloths for the rear compartment. While there are no accurate accountings as to the number of Ford chassis to be graced with Brewster coachwork, published figures as high as 300 and as low as just 113 have been circulated. What is known is that those that have survived are very highly sought after and are considered full classics by the Classic Car Club of America. The lovely limousine we are pleased to offer was a custom ordered vehicle that was delivered new on April 26, 1937, in Washington, D.C., to Mr. George Hewitt Myers, founder of the Textile Museum and a well-known leader in the forest industry. In 1941, the car was returned to the factory for several minor updates and the installation of a new Mercury Type 99A V8 engine, which the car still retains to this day. While in basically original condition, there have been some cosmetic improvements primarily to the exterior with a repaint that appears to be at least several decades old, while the driver's seat appears to have been recovered. However, the interior of this car looks mostly to be as delivered new and, while not Concours perfect, it is quite presentable and very serviceable. Finished in a dark green over gray side panels, it offers proper headlights, unique bumpers, and that famous heart-shaped grille. While Ford was producing some of the best looking cars of the day, Brewsters, such as this one, were probably the prettiest cars ever assembled with Henry's V8. by Douglas

Vintage Cars

By 1915, cars had become more civilized with electric starters, better lighting, and more dependable motors and brakes. One could actually start a trip with the full expectation of getting to the destination. The novelty had become the norm. Automobile manufacturers proliferated and buyers could chose from $500 bare-basics vehicles or spend thousands of dollars for the latest in creature-conforts and prestige. The industrialized nations were moving into the era of easy, long-distance transportation. The new World was coming.
