This Ford Model 18 & 40 V8 (1932-1934) got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1933 Ford Model 40 Deluxe is a three-window coupe finished in Coach Maroon and black with a tan cloth interior. It is powered by a 221ci flathead V8 paired with a three-speed manual transmission, and features include painted wire wheels, fog and cowl lights, a tilt-out windshield, a rumble seat, and an electric fuel pump. The car is said to have been repainted in the 2000s and was acquired in July 2022 by the selling dealer, reportedly from the family of its original owner. Subsequent service included an oil change and re-gapping the spark plugs. This Ford coupe is now offered with a clean Michigan title.
