1932 Ford Model 18 Sports Coupe

This 1932 Ford Model 18 Sports Coupe sports one of the rarest body styles among '32 Fords and this particular one is quite handsome. When Henry Ford introduced his latest creation in March of 1932, it was a long time coming and would end up changing the trajectory of American automobile design and history. See, Henry was beginning to sense that his slowing sales were not entirely due the poor economic conditions at the time but rather his competition at General Motors (i.e. Chevrolet) and Chrysler (i.e. Plymouth) were catching up to the lead his namesake Ford Motor Company had built with the Model T and Model A. In particular, both Chevrolet and Plymouth were selling 6 cylinder engines whereas the Model A was still using the reliable Ford 4 cylinder.
