Catch Bonnie and Clyde in front of this 1933 Ford ‘Fordor’ Model 40.
The 1933 Ford Model 40, succeeding the 1932 Ford, was a major redesign featuring a 112-inch wheelbase (up from 106 inches) and a distinctive, forward-sloping “spade” grille.
It was powered by a 75-hp 221-cubic-inch flathead V8, with some models (Model B) using a 4-cylinder engine.
Known for its improved, streamlined styling and durability, it remains a premier, highly sought-after platform for hot rodding.
The 1933 models featured rounded fenders, and wire wheels.
It was available in 10-14 body styles, including the popular 3-window and 5-window coupes.
Deluxe models featured wood-grain dash panels, improved interior upholstery, and, in some cases, a rear rumble seat.
This particular vehicle has been owned by the same family since 1961 and spent most of its life on the land in Dalwallinu, WA.
It was lovingly restored over a number of years by the original owner.
The 1934 Ford V-8 is well-known for having been the vehicle in which the notorious Depression-era bandits ‘Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow’ were ambushed and killed.
Clyde preferred to steal the powerful Ford V-8, and was driving a 1934 sedan on May 23, 1934, when a heavily armed law enforcement posse opened fire and riddled the pair with bullets.
On display for a limited time.
