Vehicle Description
A great preserved presentation mixed with subtle upgrades makes
this 1950 Ford two-door sedan instantly attractive. So when you can
get original-style flathead V8 power for such a nice price, it's
worth paying attention.
Everyone loves the sleek look of Ford's first post-war design. It
was fairly groundbreaking when it first appeared, which is why it
remains an icon today. So if you're a fan of this history, then
this two-door sedan's appearance will be particularly rewarding.
The black paint is likely the factory-correct color and it's still
old-school lacquer - so you'll have plenty of people wondering (us
included) if it's original. But the brightwork has definitely been
given a sold investment in restoration. Everything, from the
bullet-nose grille, to the trunk hinges, to the full-length trim
has a nice shining presentation. And of course, those wraparound
chrome bumpers are mirror-like. In total, the lacquer mixed with
brighter details makes this one look like how it would be back in
the '50s. It's a time machine-like presentation, right down to the
factory wheel covers with whitewalls.
Inside, everything is quite correct, and it looks like there have
been investments to keep it that way. For example, the cloth
seating has the right pattern for a '50s machine, but you can
instantly tell by the condition and how it feels when you sit down
that this is a far fresher application. The Custom line's correct
two-spoke steering wheel, with bright trim, is pure 1950s
space-race cool. In fact, the whole dash stays true to the
original, including gauges like the speedometer and clock. You even
still have the AM radio on display to complete the correct-looking
dash.
The period-correct presentation continues under the hood, where the
239 cubic-inch flathead V8 is showcased in glowing bronze. The
engine bay is nicely detailed with the correct oil-bath air
cleaner, and the radiator hoses are so crisp, they look like they
are diving into the motor. But more than just looking good, the
flathead is a great engine for enjoying classic motoring. A
glasspack on the exhaust gives you a little extra rumble, and the
three-speed manual transmission lets you control that soundtrack
while also giving it a powerful feeling around town if you so
desire.
Few cars can present period-correct as well as this one. And since
you already know how exceptional the price is, you also know this
is a deal that will be leaving us quickly. Don't miss out, call
