On "My Car Story" we're in Auburn, IN on 5-8-15 at the Early Ford V-8 Foundation & Museum.
We're looking at a 1933 Ford Model 40 4 Cylinder Standard Tudor Sedan.
We’re talking with Josh Conrad who is the Collections Coordinator, and Ron Stauffer who is a Trustee and on the Building Committee for the Museum. This car is quite unique and you won’t see many.
If you’re interested in seeing this car in person, go to the Early Ford V-8 Foundation & Museum. The Museum is located at 2181 General Doolittle Drive, Auburn, IN 46706. Or go to www.FordV8Foundation.org and view their inventory.

I was very fortunate to have been a Missouri Valley Model A club member with the late Terry Oberer. He shared his love of old Ford's, especially Model A's. He was an expert, a teacher, a mentor...a great friend that was taken by cancer, way too soon. Many of us owe our old car skills to Terry. We rode in this very car from St. Louis to Dearborn for the 100th anniversary of the Ford Motor Company. Terry's spirit lives on through his legacy of the Model A Club, and all of the people he touched through his life. He was a treasure...we all miss him.

That is a very original car...I'm not 100% sure, but the paint may have been original...I know the interior was.

Model 40 specifically had the V-8. With the 4-cyl it is a Model B

That looks like a Victoria Model 40 . What makes this car rare is that of the near 515,000 Ford vehicles built , the 1932 V8 was so cheap that the low income common man could buy a Ford with the power for the family and luggage to take trips and by 1934 there were over 1 million V8's made which became the norm and very few Victoria had the 4 cylinder. This car is about 0.006% of the 515,000 vehicles for 1933. Not sure if the car next to it is a 1934 , but the overt difference is the Hood lift handle where people found it tough on a 33 to open the cover so in 34 there were 2 handle where each was placed at the ends of the bottom area. At the 04:29 mark I think that is a 34 because it looks like a hood handle near the cowl and not in the middle like this 33 .
