1936 ford 5 window coupe
Hey guys!!
As kids, you may remember trading baseball cards (trade that Frank Howard Washington Senator card for a Frank Robinson Baltimore Orioles card? You bet!). It's a habit that's hard to break, despite the fact the gum that came with the cards usually tasted much like the cardboard the players' stats were printed on.
But, the fine art of trading like items doesn't rest solely in baseball cards. Hot rodders have been doing it for years, and some of the best deals are made when no money ever changes hands.
The engine in the Ford is...

Bruce Vath from Cincinnati, Ohio, knows how this process works. Back in 1998, he had started working on a '36 three-window, painted with DP-90 and rolling on a set of wide whites. The car had a smooth appearance, with no bumpers or door handles, and with the top and cowl vent filled. Bruce's vision for his ride was to add all the bumps back to it, including the bumpers and all the trim.
However, when he ran into a friend who was also working on a '36, this one a five-window, who wanted to shave everything off his stocker, the pair realized what they really wanted was each other's cars, so they decided to trade.
as you know!!!
His new ride had been hot-rodded back in the 1960s but had spent the previous 20 years in storage in a garage in Dayton. After driving the car as-is, with its 30-year-old yellow paint and velour interior, Bruce rightfully thought he needed to redo his ride.
Wanting a vintage look, he first started looking at paint chips and found a split pea green shade he liked. He painted one of the fenders while it was still on the car and saw it was exactly the tone that would typify the look he was going for.
Not a quickie paintjob, Bruce went to the extent of blowing the body off the chassis and having it media-blasted before going after some needed improvements, chief among them being a new firewall. Though the body was fairly solid, there were many small areas that needed some attention, so work on the quarters, front floor section, and lower trunk began, and other parts were welded in place. After painting the frame, which had been updated by the previous owner, Bruce popped the body back on the chassis, and the car was prepped for paint.
All of this work, except for the paint and upholstery, was done in Bruce's home garage in what had started out as a one-winter project that turned into a four-year-total rebuild. But, after driving the car now for the past four years (Bruce said "it's always driven, never trailered"), he couldn't be happier with the way the project turned out.
It's probably like finding that pristine '54 Topps #128 baseball card in your stack of old baseball cards-you know the one: Henry Aaron's rookie card. But, what's the fun in that? At least Bruce gets to use what he's got.

The Daihatsu Charade was a supermini which was introduced in 1977. Daihatsu considers the Charade a large "compact" car to differentiate it from other compacts in its lineup, such as the Daihatsu Mira/Cuore.

G10 (1977–83)
The first generation (G10) appeared in 1977. It was available as 3-door or 5-door hatchback, powered only by a 993 cc 3-cylinder engine with 50 hp JIS (37 kW).
The early G10 (Series 1) had round headlights and the late G10 (Series 2) had square headlights.
The Daihatsu Charade was very popular in Chile during the 1980s.
The Charade sold in Chile between 1978-1984 was called the G20. The first generation (1978-1980) had round headlights, the second generation (1980-1984) had square headlights, both powered by an 843 cc 3-cylinder engine. Also available was the "Runabout" version, which was a 3-door hatchback with two little round windows in the back.
G11 (1983–87)
The second generation (G11) was released in 1983, again as a 3- or 5-door hatchback. It featured several variations of the 3-cylinder 1.0 L engine, including a turbocharged version with 68 hp JIS and diesel and turbo-diesel versions. A 5-speed manual transmission was available. The G11 was produced with two frontends, colloquially known as "square-eyes" (Series 1) and "cat-eyes" (Series 2).
In Europe, the G11 underbody, engines and transmissions were used as the basis for the Innocenti De Tomaso, after Innocenti's contract with British Leyland expired. The G11 parts continued to be used by the Italian automaker until 1992.

The G11 Daihatsu Charade was released with two engine variants. The base model has the naturally aspirated, three cylinder, 993 cc CB23 engine that spawns around 50-55 bhp. 0-60 mph takes around 12–13 seconds. The other Charade Turbo and Charade DeTomaso models had the upgraded cb23 engine, called the cb60. The cb60 was also a three cylinder 993 cc engine, but was fitted with an IHI TurboCharger, which saw its power rise to 65-70 bhp.
In 1985, at the Tokyo show, Daihatsu introduced the 926R, a prototype of a a mid engine Charade, developed together with DeTomaso and designed to take part in the WRC championship for cars under 1300 cc. The 926R had a MID 993 cc, 12v, twin-cam, turbo engine, mounted behind the driver - moving the rear wheels through a 5 speed manual transmission and delivering 118 hp. The 926R weighed 800 kg and had wider fenders to cover the 205/225 15" wheels (similar to the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo). However, following significant crashes in 1986 WRC, group B was banned and the 926R project was called off.
G100 (1987–94)
The third generation of the Daihatsu Charade (G100) debuted in 1987. It originally shipped with a 1.0 L 3-cylinder engine (CB23) and 1.3 L four-cylinder with single carburetor (HC-C). A 1.0 L turbo diesel, a 1.0 L twin-cam fuel injected intercooled turbo (CB70)(CB80) , named GTti and delivering 100 hp JIS (74 kW)the GTti version was only available in 2 door hatchback, a 1.3 L fuel injected 4-cylinder (HC-E) and 3-cylinder (CB90) were later added. It was released in a 3-door and a 5-door hatchback. A 4-door sedan was released with the 1.3 L EFI engine in 1988. In Japan there was also a higher spec luxury version of the GTti, dubbed the GTxx, It featured all of the Charade optional extras, but fitted as standard, such as electric sunroof, mirrors, door locking, power windows, air-con and power steering. Also the interior was a little different from the GTti in that the fuse box was mounted inside the car and the seats were of a different pattern design. The exterior featured 3 piece side skirts, 14" Speedline alloys and a different rear spoiler to the GTti. Mechanically the GTxx was identical to the GTti.
It had a fairly successful rally career competing in the RAC Lombard Rally in 1989 and 1990 and was highly competitive in the Safari Rally. The GTti won class honours many times and was able to mix it with some of the 2 litre cars on occasion troubling some of the 4wd cars !
The third-generation car was sold in the United States for just four years, from 1988 through 1992. The car sold poorly, perhaps because of its high price, few dealerships, and unfortunate translation of the name Charade into English, and the company withdrew permanently from the US market. Sales for 1989 were 15,118. Only the 3-door hatchback and sedan were available. The North American Charade appeared in three different trim levels until 1989; the CES (Base model), CLS, and CLX. The CES came with a 53 bhp, 1.0L 3-Cylinder, Electronically Fuel Injected engine known as the CB-90. The other two variants were available with the standard CB-90 or the more powerful 1.3L 4-Cylinder Electronically Fuel Injected HC-E. In 1990, the trim levels were reduced to just two, the SE (Base Model) and SX. All models were available with a 5-Speed manual gearbox or an automatic transmission.
In the Australian market, the GTti was unavailable and the turbocharged petrol Charade used the carburetor engine (CB60/61) from the previous generation.
G200 and G203 (1994–2000)
The fourth generation was introduced in 1994, again with hatchback and sedan bodies. A 1.0 L engine was the base model in Japan, but in many European countries, the SOHC 1.3 L was used. The sedan, introduced in 1994, featured a 1.5 L engine with optional 4WD. The Diesel models were dropped in all markets where they were previously available.
The turbocharged GTti version was replaced by a more conventional GTi with an SOHC 16-valve 1.6 L engine. This version was engineered by Italian ex-racing driver De Tomaso (the previous owner of Innocenti), including racing-derived camshafts, and was capable of 124 hp JIS (91 kW) in the Japanese market. The export version was detuned to 105 hp DIN (77 kW). De Tomaso also added their own bodykit, Recaro seats, a Nardi Torino steering wheel, and Pirelli sports tyres. A total of 120,000 Charade GTi were produced following this joint effort.
The Charade was restyled in 1996, only two years after release (with the codename G203). It had a ‘smiley face’ grille and changed headlights, looking more like its Toyota sibling the Starlet. It was produced until 2000, when it was replaced by the Sirion/Storia.

Daihatsu Mira
The Daihatsu Mira is sold in some countries as a Charade.
Safety
In Australia, the Daihatsu Charade was assessed in the Used Car Safety Ratings 2006 as providing "significantly worse than average" protection for its occupants in the event of a crash.[1][dead link]
Nameplate return
In 2003, the Charade name was resurrected in the UK and Australia. The new Charade is now a rebadged Daihatsu Mira (Cuore in other European markets, Charade in Morocco[2]), and it is positioned one market segment below its previous generations. It is available as a 3- or 5-door hatchback with a 1.0 L engine. It has since been discontinued in Australia due to Toyota retiring the Daihatsu nameplate in Australia, due to the market climate and the fact that Toyota believes that the Toyota Yaris does justice as their smallest car in Australia.
Chinese Edition
In China, Daihatsu Charade is called "Xiali" and made by China FAW, under the registered mark of "China FAW". From 1986 September 30, to 2009, it sold over 1.5 million around the country.
