Available again in Standard or Deluxe (The Deluxe featured bright chrome around the grille, headlamps and windshield, and upmarket interior). Standard models were available in 2 or 4 door sedan, in trunkback or flatback, 5 window 2 door coupe, 2 door cabriolet, 4 door phaeton, 4 door wagon and the 2 door pickup. Deluxe models in 2 and 4 door sedans, 3 and 5 window 2 door coupes, roadster and phaeton. The 36 Ford was not only built in the US but also in other countries including Australia, where coupe utility and roadster utilitys were built. Ford Australia was the first company to produce a coupe utility as a result of a 1932 letter from the wife of a farmer in Victoria, Australia asking for “a vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can carry our pigs to market on Mondays”.
