The Ford model lineup was dramatically redesigned for 1933, using scaled-up drawings from the British Model Y. The three-window coupe was given a more gracefully angled greenhouse - it was the most streamlined of all Ford's 1933 cars.
This car was acquired by Nick Alexander from Milton Robson. Mr. Robson had the car restored by Ernest Allen. Mr. Allen accidently passed away midway through the completion of the project, and Robson kept the unfinished project, setting it up as a display piece, before its acquisition by Mr. Alexander.
After the purchase, the restoration work was completed by Mr. Alexander's own shops. The car has aluminum heads and manifold, rumble seat, and optional factory glove box radio. The car is finished in Aurora Red wheels and pinstripe. the upholstery is correct, rose beige mohair with taupe carpet, and the rumble seat is done in brown leather.
The rear window cranks down for ventilation or conversation with the rumble seat passengers. A lever next to the window crank opens the rumble seat. There is a wood grain dashboard, nicely set off by the engine-turned instrument panel in front of the driver.
In 2012, this car was offered for sale by RM Auctions at their Monterey, CA sale. The car was estimated to sell for $90,000 - $125,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $99,000 inclusive of buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2012
