What models did Ford make in 1937?
Ford's 1937 passenger-car lineup centered on two primary models: the Ford Standard and the Ford DeLuxe. The company also continued producing commercial vehicles during the year.
Two main passenger-car lines
In 1937 Ford offered two principal trim levels on a shared chassis, with multiple body styles to suit different buyers. The showroom choices boiled down to:
- Ford Standard — the entry-level line with practical styling and a range of body styles, designed for value-conscious customers.
- Ford DeLuxe — the higher-trim line featuring more interior and exterior refinement, with access to upgraded engines and features (notably the V-8 option).
This two-tier approach allowed Ford to appeal to both budget buyers and those seeking more comfort within a single platform.
Engines and options
Both lines shared a common set of powertrains, with options typically including:
- Inline-six engines on standard configurations
- Flathead V-8 engines available on DeLuxe models, and in some higher-spec Standard configurations
The availability of the V-8 helped define the DeLuxe line's appeal, while the six-cylinder option kept the Standard line affordable and practical.
Summary
Ford's 1937 lineup revolved around two passenger-car lines, Standard and DeLuxe, with a mix of inline-six and flathead V-8 engines and a range of body styles to meet varying needs. The arrangement reflects Ford's strategy to balance value with comfort in the pre-war era.
