A 1933 Ford V-8 Roadster finished in black with a tan canvas top, red wheels, and wide whitewall tires, representing one of the most visually celebrated standard production designs of the 1930s. Restored to a high standard by Enfield Auto Restoration using exclusively new-old-stock components, the car originated from a rust-free, single-family history. It earned an AACA Senior National First Prize in 1987, a Dearborn Award from the Early Ford V-8 Club with a score reaching 999 points, and Best of Show honors at Rhinebeck, New York, accumulating fewer than 300 miles since restoration.
