Known affectionately as the Shoebox Ford for its clean, slab-sided ponton design, this top-trim Custom convertible delivers timeless appeal with unmistakable vintage presence. Under the hood, it s powered by the legendary 239 cubic-inch flathead V8, paired with a 2-barrel downdraft carburetor. The engine is mated to a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a classic column shifter, offering a smooth and authentic driving experience true to its era. Stopping power comes from 10-inch drum brakes, marketed in their day as Ford s Magic-Action braking system. Inside, the cabin is finished in attractive two-tone black and burgundy vinyl upholstery, complemented by newer seat covers, door panels, and carpeting blending classic style with refreshed comfort. The exterior in Burgundy is where this convertible truly shines.

Whitewall tires and body-color painted wheels with Ford-embossed chrome hubcaps complete the look.
