Ford drastically changed up the look of their vehicles in 1949 and
the redesign was declared the Shoebox. This flat sided design
welcomed in the 50s and is a definite turning point in car design
as fenders were now fusing more into the bodies and the box look
was becoming more popular. This 50 Ford Custom Convertible is a
well done classic that has a really sharp looking exterior. The car
was restored a few years ago and has been well cared for since. The
light Green paint has a nice shine and all of the original style
chrome/stainless trim is there. This car features a unique
continental kit which looks good on the car and is something you
don't see often on these Fords. The rear skirts fit nicely in place
and look great on the car. Dual spotlights complete the 50s look
and sit on each side of the front windshield. The wheels have been
painted to match the body and look great with the original style
hubcaps and wide white wall tires.
Under the hood is a nicely running Flathead V8 that starts up
smoothly and has plenty of power. A lot of the engine components
have been painted Red or Black. Backing the motor is a 3 speed
manual transmission the moves through the gears smoothly via the
column shifter. The suspension and brakes have no problems and the
car drives around very well. Whether you are looking for an
occasional show car or a cool driver to get you to work this
classic is up for the job.
The interior is very cleanly done in Black leather and the front
split bench seat is comfortable. The dash has the original layout
with all of the factory style knobs, switches, gauges and trim
pieces. The original heat/defrost system works as does the radio.
The original steering wheel look great and even has the original
horn button still in place. The trunk of the car is nicely
upholstered as well and house a spare with matching spare cover.
The convertible top is done in Black and in good condition. The
Black boot snaps easily in place to keep it protected and stored
out of the way when not in use.
This is one fun classic that is ready for a new home so come check
it out while it is still available!
Look around and you will see a lot of these on the market much
higher than our asking price of $29,500.00!
