This 1933 Ford is a steel-bodied Tudor sedan that was reportedly modified in the late 1950s by famed hot rod painter Art Himsl and refurbished in 2002 by Roy Brizio Street Rods of South San Francisco, California. The car spent much of its life in California before being relocated to Washington by the seller in 2015, and it is powered by an overbored 360ci Chevrolet V8 equipped with double-hump cylinder heads and three Rochester 2-Jet carburetors. The bodywork is finished in metallic blue with custom pinstriping, and equipment includes a Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission, a Currie 9″ rear end, Wilwood front disc brakes, two-tone blue and white vinyl upholstery, a Pioneer stereo, and a soft roof insert.

An oil change was performed in July 2021, and work since 2018 has reportedly included replacement of the fuel filter and pump. Per the seller, the center and front carburetors have been rebuilt with a new needle, seat, and float. An Optima red top battery was installed in 2015.
