This Ford Model 18 & 40 V8 (1932-1934) got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1934 Ford Model 40B Deluxe Fordor is a four-door sedan that was refurbished during previous ownership and acquired by the selling dealer in 2021. It is finished in white over black cloth upholstery and powered by a 221ci flathead V8 mated to a three-speed manual transmission and a 4.11:1 differential. Equipment includes 16″ wire wheels, chrome-finished bumpers and trim, cowl lights, rear coach doors, dual taillights, a Potter trunk, a floor-mounted shifter, and a 12-volt electrical system. This Model 40B is offered by the selling dealer in Missouri with an antique-branded Washington state title.
