Market commentary
With a 65hp 6-cylinder engine this was nearly the performance counterpart of Henry's 1932 V8, however the design, with its slightly raked and subtly veed grille shell, horizontal hood side louvers and sweeping fenders were a customizer's Deuce dream. It was one of the most striking cars in Bonhams sale both for its design and its restoration and there was a notable contest to own it. Even ending up at half or less than the price of a comparable condition '32 Ford V-8 roadster it still represents a sound value, a car that says, 'What do you know? This is an extraordinary automobile.'
