The DeLuxe versions of the Ford Model 18 were giving luxurious trim, including the desirable cowl lights from the factory. It was one of America's most beloved automobile, affectionately nicknamed the 'Deuce' for its 1932 debut. This roadster sold for $495 new, just $10 more than the four-cylinder Model B. It was the first ever low-priced V-8 engine automobile created for the mass market. Ford struggled to meet demand with 12,597 Model 18s manufactured in the three-year period they were produced.
This Deluxe Roadster is known to have resided in Nebraska before it was purchased around 2007 by Charles Walker. Prior to Mr. Walker's ownership, the automobile was restored and preserved - complete with the factory options of a pivoting windshield and rumble seat - just as it was in 1932. The transmission is not the factory original to the chassis, it is correct for an early V-8 Ford.
The car is currently finished in forest green with pale green wire wheels with matching body pinstripes, black fenders, beige top, and brown leather upholstery. The odometer current shows 80,700 miles.
In 2013, the car was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was estimated to sell for $65,000 - $85,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $51,700 inclusive of buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2013
