The aircraft was converted to a Model 18-08 in January 1942 when the aircraft was re-engined with Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp R-1830-SC3G engines instead of the R-1830-S1C3G engines.

The aircraft was sold to Imperial Oil Co. on October 1, 1949 of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and then passed to two other companies. It was sold in the USA in November 1968 and registered N655KC. The registration was cancelled on April 14, 1971 and its fate is unknown."
