A Ford Brochure of the Day said
It was necessary to devise a new term, “Centerpoise, to fit an entirely new comfort ride in the Ford V* for 1935. As an Automobile passes over rough roads, the car’s centre of mass moves up and down more than the car’s centre, in a teeter-totter effect. Therefore, back passengers have been bounced up and down, because they were seated over or behind the rear axle. The new Ford Centerpoise ride seats passengers closer to the centre of the car, which bounces the least. As a result, back-seat passengers receive a front-seat ride.
Cruising Through Time: The 1935 Ford Tourer Experience
If you’ve ever dreamed of taking a step back in time—wind in your hair, sun overhead, and the purr of a vintage engine beneath you—the 1935 Ford Tourer is your ticket to nostalgia. This iconic automobile isn’t just a car; it’s a rolling piece of history, and every drive is a journey through the golden age of motoring.
A Glimpse Into 1935
The world was a different place when the Ford Tourer first hit the roads. Franklin D. Roosevelt was in the White House, swing music filled the airwaves, and the open roads beckoned with a promise of adventure. Ford’s answer to this spirit of exploration was the Tourer: elegant lines, a powerful V8 engine, and the kind of craftsmanship that’s almost impossible to find today.

It’s a magnet for smiles, waves, and plenty of questions from the curious (and maybe a few envious) onlookers. The driving experience is pure, analog joy—no screens, no driver assists, just you, the machine, and the open road.
