Ford wished to transform the vision of the automobile to a room on wheels. This, the first new Ford product designed for releasefollowing WWII, certainly did that with sofa-like leather seats, plush carpet, Ford's first curved glass windshield, and the largest production engine of the time.

Thiscar is a real head-turner with its color scheme and the fact that most people have never seen another like it. Research shows 7 auction sales during the past 11 years with prices ranging from $31,900 to $137,500 with an average of $78,921.
