This beautiful car is a 1940 Ford Custom Deluxe 4 Door Sedan, recently sold at a Barrett-Jackson Auction for the amount of $132,000.00. This car was brought to Broadway Ford Collision Repair in May of 2009 for a complete restoration process. This process included frame up restoration. How many body shops in Idaho Falls get the opportunity for a car restored at their shop to be sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction??! Kudos go out to our body technician Robert Wadsworth (had over 500 hours into this car), Shane Brown our painter, and Curtis Quigg, a former painter at Broadway Ford.... Great work guys!!!
