    Nice car but Americans look to Europe for design?

    Beautifully done '32 does honor to the original Ford version. Given the history I can understand why a wealthy collector would pay the bucks to have this one.

    That is one great looking car with a wonderful restoration. I did read somewere maybe on The Ford Barn that it was for sale for years unrestored in Italy for $10,000, and someone finally stepped up and bought it. Bob

    ^^^^ If Money was no object we'd be in a bidding war. That is one great looking car. Wonder if it is the camera angle or the front fenders are reshaped. They look a bit like a 28-29 the way the roll forward. Bob

    And who styled the 1933 Ford in the end? Dagenham! Ford ended up scaling the 1932 English Model-Y up to US size and used the '32 British styling for '33.

    Magnificent automobile.
     
  20. As the story goes..The car is believed to be the only Classic Era Ford built with custom coachwork by Pinin Farina.

    Ford Motor Company commissioned this car from the Italian coachbuilder as a styling study when they were considering options for the production 1933 Fords.

    Starting with a American-built 1932 Ford Model 18 chassis, its design shows the influence of Pinin Farina’s earlier Lancias, with a sweeping beltline and smartly tailored roof. HRP

    Oh that made me laugh. But was he serious? Can't be sure these days. Education isn't what it used to be.

    I'm an idiot but although it is pretty I'll take a 3 window any day of the week. I don't know how to relate to money is no object. Give me one that ran at Bonneville and was made in America.

    Considering the popularity of the Deuce, it's no surprise a "One of one" version went for that kind of money...
    I would love to see someone Photoshop it into a Hot Rod just for fun!

    Some polished Halibrands would really wake that thing up.
