Can Rare and Ford be in the same sentence?

Well… Although it is not usual to say them in the same subject since Ford is the sixth largest motor company in the world, you do not expect them to do so but the truth is, Ford created some of the most limited production cars that were introduced. 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra, The ultimate mid-engine sports car, the RS200, Rare Ford Transit Panorama Bus and 1966 Galaxie 500 RR Code to name a few. This 1936 Ford Phaeton Deluxe Model 68 RHD (right hand drive) made it from Australia in the mid 50’s. The Phaetons were introduced before 1935 however from 1935 to 1938 the Ford Phaeton featured the famous Flat head V8 and the coolest designed car. With 5,555 were produced, according to records, only 124 were sold in Australia and most of them were HotRoded so you really cannot see them anymore unless you have the cash!
This beauty is located in Maine US and while I was searching for my client a rare car under $60K, I stumbled on it driving through a very beautiful and remote area in Maine. This 1936 Ford Phaeton is for Sale by SMI AutoBrokers after speaking with the owner and the car is astonishing to look at and very weird to drive as it is a RHD but the car performed amazingly.
