Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

One of only two Type 51R road going Type 51 Formula Fords with lights and fenders. The other one was allegedly registered as an invalid carriage. Owned for years by an acqaintance of Henry Fords who kept it in Nassau and used it for local travel. Restored to like new condition in 1998 and not likely to meet itself coming the other.
