1950 Ford Deluxe

1950 Ford Custom The late 40s was an interesting time for car manufacturers as production stopped due to the war. Even after WWII the production process was slowly starting back up so builders had to focus on offering updated versions of their prewar designs. However, that all changed in 1949 with the shoebox Ford. This would be the first major redesign and Ford would beat the others in the Big Three to the market and Americans were hungry for something new. This saw the end of running boards and the integration of fenders into a single body form. The Custom line was offered as the top trim level and was met with great success. This 1950 is a very nice Custom Shoebox and has been completely restored. It is painted in a very nice dark Burgundy metallic that has a nice finish. It has all of its shining stainless and chrome nicely mounted in place including that iconic bullet nose grill. Fender skirts are in place on the rear which look perfect on a car of this vintage. All of the electrical works properly and in addition to the cool old school blue dot taillights it has a custom 3rd brake light for added visibility. The glass is all good including that front 2 piece windshield. Under all four corners are painted to match steel wheels with beauty rings, Ford center caps and Goodyear wide white wall radials (P205/75R15). Turning those tires is the original 8BA Flathead V8 which was seen by many as one of Fords most important developments. It has a very stock appearance but has been upgraded to 12 volt with an alternator. It runs, drives, and rides great. The 3 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and is on the column. Underneath, the car is solid and you will note it now has dual Smithy exhaust which delivers a great sound. Another upgrade is the fuse block has been mounted inside a custom slide out tray found in the trunk for easy access. The interior is done in Gray and Red cloth/vinyl upholstery. It is in great condition throughout and it has a split bench up front with a full bench in the rear. The dash is in good condition and all nicely painted Silver. It features all of the stock components including the custom deluxe trim around the clock and on each end. Its original AM radio is mounted in place and does work. The trunk of the car is all finished out nicely and has a full size spare. These cars have a classic look that will always be popular and this one is in great shape.
