There is something undeniably magnetic about an automobile that
helped change the course of motoring history. This 1932 Ford Model
18 roadster with rumble seat and celebrated 221 Flathead V8
captures that moment with period attitude and usable charm,
inviting both weekend cruise nights and quiet, proud showings. From
its tidy canvas top to the era-correct dual spare wheels tucked in
the fenders and a fold-up luggage rack with attached trunk, this
roadster evokes the romance of open motoring. If you have been
looking for a 1932 car that combines authentic detail with easy
drivability, this is certainly worthy of consideration.
The interior is welcoming and well sorted for a driver-friendly
experience. The consignor fitted Procar bucket seats up front for
added comfort; the original bench seat is included with the car.
The rumble seat shows little use and presents nicely. Glass and
trim are in good order and the cabin has a tasteful period feel
with minimal imperfections, making it comfortable for touring or
display.
Under the hood sits the landmark 221 Flathead V8 that defined the
1932 Model 18 era. The engine starts right up, idles smoothly and
the three-speed manual gearbox shifts predictably, making this
roadster straightforward to drive on modern roads. The suspension
uses factory-style mono leaf springs front and rear and the car
rides on 18-inch wire wheels wrapped in 5.50-18 Firestone wide
whitewalls. Braking is via drum brakes and the underside presents
as restored to factory standards, all contributing to a confident,
vintage driving experience.
