| Tweet | ||
This 1939 Ford Special Roadster was built especially for William Clay Ford, grandson of Henry Ford. He received the car as a gift at the age of 15. This Roadster was hand-crafted at Ford's British factory in England; therefore, it is the only one of its type that exists in the world.
The engine is a 4-cylinder Ford engine and the transmission is a 3-forward, 1-reverse speed.
This car was displayed at the Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, prior to its current location at the Tallahassee Automobile Museum in Tallahassee, Florida.
