Rare Ford Model 40 Reaches Auction Block

Ford Model 40

As a part of RM auctions–automobiles of Amelia, US; a rare beastly Ford Model 40 Special roadster, custom built in 1934 for Edsel Ford, then President of the Ford Motor Company has now reached the auction block in Ypsilanti, Michigan. This one-of-its-kind Speedster was designed at Ford’s Willow Run Aircraft plant in Dearborn, Michigan and was in custody of the present proud owner for last 40 years. I wonder what made the present owner flag it for auction at the annual “Automobiles of Amelia Island” event in March. But good for the highest bidder. Wish you luck!
