Re: '36 Cabriolet with an "18-F" prefix
This is a can of worms. My RHD '35 Model 60 (yes, it's a V8-60) is chassis 54-738. I have no idea if my coupe was US, Canadian or Dagenham built.
The Model A in the UK was sold with a small 2 litre engine, because of our taxation system, so that was an AF. If you had a truck it was an AA if it had the 'proper' big engine, but an AAF with the small engine. The 32 Car (Model 18) was sold with a B version of the small engine as ABF, and continued into 1934. Basically the F seems to indicate stuff unique to non-US markets. |

Re: '36 Cabriolet with an "18-F" prefix
The car in question that began this thread is more interesting than the F question!
Final selling price of US$59619 for a car built as a driver without consideration of incorrect items if presented on a V8 Club Concourse: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25824/lot/209/

Re: '36 Cabriolet with an "18-F" prefix
You can count the RHD 36 cabriolets in the UK on the fingers of one hand. On the same hand you can count the people in the UK who could recognise an authentic 36, and they probably wouldn't buy at Bonham's. My guess is the buyer just saw a stylish drophead that looked fun to drive, and it cost less than his daily driver, so why not buy a toy? There are people out there who get 500k annual bonuses, they are driving the price inflation, mainly on the exotics.
If the buyer is actually a V8 guy and reads Fordbarn, I apologise and withdraw the above. :-) |
