In 1933 Ford revised their V8 model known as the Model 18 or Duece. The car received a longer wheelbase and an all-new front grill.

Many design traits were taken from the English Ford Model Y including the sloping front grill and hood louvers.

Our feature example is a Deluxe 3-Window Coupe from the Nick Alexander Collection. It was purchase partially restored from the Milton Robson collection and finished at Alexander’s own shop. RM auctions had the distinct pleasure to offer this car at the 2012 Monterey Sports Car Auction.
