Road Signature's 1:18 diecast Ford Convertible reproduces the 1937 model in blue, the year Ford adopted its streamlined face-lift over the flathead V8. Opening doors and bonnet reveal a period-styled cabin, giving this entry-tier piece real presence in a pre-war American lineup.
About the Ford Convertible Blue Road Signature 1:18
TL;DR: Road Signature's 1:18 diecast Ford Convertible recreates the 1937 model in blue, with opening doors and bonnet over a period cabin. The 1937 face-lift gave Ford's flathead V8 range its first fully streamlined body, making this affordable diecast a useful entry point into pre-war American styling.
Ford redesigned its entire range for 1937, smoothing the previously upright grille and fenders into the streamlined shape that would carry the marque through the rest of the decade. This convertible wears that redesign in blue.
Road Signature's Construction of a Pre-War Ford Convertible
Road Signature specialises in exactly this era of American motoring, and the construction here follows its usual formula. The diecast body carries genuine weight, with the doors and bonnet opening on simple hinges to show a cabin trimmed in period style and an engine bay sized to suggest Ford's flathead V8, the engine that made affordable power available across the whole range from 1932 onward. The blue paint runs evenly over the rounded fenders and the longer, lower grille that defined the 1937 face-lift, and the folded soft-top is moulded to suggest the fabric roof rather than reproducing individual folds. Wire-style wheels and simple chrome trim keep the detailing appropriate to an entry-tier price. It is not a museum-grade reproduction, but it captures the silhouette that made 1937 a genuine turning point in Ford's design language.
The 1937 Redesign in Ford's Story
Ford's 1937 range replaced the more upright styling of the previous few seasons with softer, more streamlined fenders and a lower stance, a change driven partly by competition from Chevrolet and partly by the broader industry shift toward aerodynamic design. The flathead V8, introduced in 1932, remained the mechanical heart of the range, giving even Ford's mainstream models genuine V8 performance at a price ordinary buyers could reach. Convertibles made up a small fraction of 1937 production compared with sedans and coupes, which makes surviving open-top examples, and by extension accurate replicas of them, more sought after by collectors focused on Depression-era American cars. Its low production run at the time gives this convertible a scarcity value a mass-market saloon from the same year does not share.
