Classic Car Overview

1951 Ford Deluxe Custom Deluxe As the first new postwar models offered by Ford Motor Company, the redesigned 1949 passenger-car lineup was as crucial to its makers ongoing success as the pre-war Model A, Model T, and the revolutionary V-8 models of 1932. Breaking from tradition with fresh and modern styling that was lower and wider than before, the new-for-1949 Fords featured envelope styling with fully integrated fenders and a low, full-width grille delineated by neat chrome trim and punctuated by a faux jet intake at the center. Passenger space was good, with the new Fords built upon a new ladder frame offering a useful, yet rational 114-inch wheelbase. Mechanical specifications were updated to match the new styling, with a new wishbone-type front suspension and longitudinal rear springs replacing the former solid front axles and transverse leaf springs. As before, both six-cylinder and V-8 engines were available. A three-speed manual was the sole transmission available for 49. Standard and upscale Custom trim levels provided further distinction. Upon their release at New Yorks posh Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, they were the first all-new Ford models in more than a decade. Importantly, their introduction on June 10, 1948, preceded new-car introductions by archrivals Chrysler and General Motors, gaining valuable press coverage and positioning Ford as the automaker to beat in the increasingly expansive postwar era. The 1949 Ford models and their fresh, clean styling drew wide praise and put the warmed-over 1942 styling into the distant past while positioning Ford for the successes yet to come in the 1950s. The 1951 Ford passenger cars appeared little changed from their 1949 model-year counterparts, however numerous welcomed detail updates spurred advertisements heralding 51 improvements for 51. Representing the top of Fords model range, this Outstanding 1951 Southern Estate Classic Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible is the product of a Professional Frame Off.
