This rock solid and full of
character "Early Ford Survivor" was originally built in
June of 1932 with a retail price of $489.25, although on
introduction day, Ford offered them at $450.00 for "One
Day Only". There were 148,562 Tudors built but only 37,122
Standard Model "B" Tudors such as this one. Other
variations would be a mix of V8 cars along with Deluxe
models. "Owners" history notes/text below...
 Passed
along history, the story goes that this car may have been
sold new and/or was built in New Jersey, ended up in
Connecticut and then for sure New York State. It was
placed in a Museum for many years, then inherited by a
Grandson who sold it to the Fella I bought it from, who
owned it for 1 year and enjoyed for about 1,000 miles. I
have owned it for about 4 1/2 years and sits in my shop,
one that is more of a Museum than a workplace. It has just
over 30,700 actual miles and resides alongside 4 other
1932 Ford's, 2 other collectable cars and plenty of Deuce
memorabilia/parts. Every vehicle in my collection is
driven regularly except this "B" Tudor, I feel it's best
to keep the miles low and further preserve it's youth. I
don't know where you would pick-up the phone and purchase
a 30,000 mile original 1932 Ford today, some 86 years
later, "This car is a "True Survivor"...
This old 32 fires right
up with the pull of the start cable, after a little warm
up, purrs down the road as a new one would. There is
little gear noise, quiet exhaust and no baggage with
respect to the steering, braking etc....
The car has a genuine
rare optional metal rear tire cover over the spare
including a factory lock strap at the bottom, with the
factory key to unlock it. It also has both engine splash
pans, which are often missing. The motor has a very rare
factory correct motor silencer on the carburetor and the
rear window still has its factory installed window shade,
which are almost always missing...
The car is fully serviced
with respect to special oils for the engine, transmission
and rear axle. Brakes have just been adjusted by the book,
they are the mechanical type and require sequential
settings and the shocks have been replaced with genuine
"original" working units. Survivor is the Word....
