1933 Ford Tudor Model 40 Sedan
For the little over two years that I’ve had the pleasure of being its caretaker, this hot rod has provided more smiles per mile than I could have imagined. It is a proven enjoyable and dependable driver given the over 13,000 miles I’ve racked up over that time on the two-lane blacktop from our home near Charleston, SC. It always draws a crowd everywhere we go and has brought home a number of awards.
