The 1936 model year Chevrolet cars’ doors were hinged toward the rear; no more "suicide"-style front doors. Steel disc wheels were used for the first time. A 14-gallon fuel tank was used on all Chevrolets. In mid-year, steel spoke wheels were adopted for all models.
The Chevrolet Standard Series FC – Six adopted the all-steel Fisher Body with "Turret Top" styling. They had more rounded front fenders and radiator grilles and shells. A split front windshield (as was used on 1935 Master DeLuxes) was new. The number of horizontal hood louvers was reduced to two, with the top one being longer. Rear fenders were skirted and more streamlined. Standard models did not use the “Knee Action” independent front suspension.
The Master DeLuxe – Series FD/FA - Six had a thicker, rounder radiator shell that characterized cars in the Master DeLuxe line. The grille was also larger and more rounded at the top and more pointed at the bottom. A lower hood ornament had its wings pointing back horizontally. The FD designation was for cars without coil spring front suspension; the FA designation was for cars with this feature. There were still no open cars in the Master DeLuxe series. Master DeLuxe Models with "Knee Action" were designated FA models. They cost more and weighed 30 pounds more.
Innovations for 1936 included hydraulic brakes. The Cabriolet was reintroduced in Standard (FC) series. Standard models had a box-girder frame. Early Standard Series cars had composite wood/steel doors. Later cars were all-steel.
