This stunning 1939 Ford Tudor is more than a showpiece - it’s a story of joy, nostalgia, and generosity. Richard Wilson Jr. wasn’t a car collector - this vehicle was a personal wish-list purchase. Knowing his time was limited, he bought it as a final gift to himself, a symbol of joy and freedom. Sadly, he passed away just two days later, never getting to enjoy it.
Richard deeply admired St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® and directed that all his possessions, including this car, be donated to support its mission. His family honored that wish, making this donation a meaningful tribute to his life and values.
