Jan Adolfsson 1936 Ford 3w Coupe
Jan Adolfsson from Örebro, Sweden found this car in 1967.
It has been in a mow on the countryside and was in very bad shape, both the body and the frame.
Janne decided to swap the frame to a 1937-1939 type meaning some new mounts were to be made. The body took extensive work to get in shape, using pieces from many other cars.
He wanted a modern driveline but as the authorities at this time didn't allow that, a 100 hp 59A flathead was used connected to a 1939 gearbox with 1946 gears.
The car was approved in 1973 and Janne went directly on a holiday trip. He estimates a total time of work to over 1500 hours!
It has been modified over the years. It got stock bumbers and louvers in the hood. Janne got it painted 1975 in a darkblue Volvo color by Örebro Billack. Janne still (2020) owns the car! Impressive!
