CREATE TABLE table_9101 ("Year" FLOAT, "Manufacturer" TEXT, "Start" FLOAT, "Finish" FLOAT, "Team" TEXT)

Smaller than 37, the highest year for Ford?
SELECT MAX("Year") FROM table_9101 WHERE "Manufacturer" = 'ford' AND "Finish" < '37'
SELECT MAX("Year") FROM "table_9101" WHERE "Finish" < '37' AND "Manufacturer" = 'ford'
