Vehicle Description
By far, one of the most popular and desirable Ford models for
collectors of this year has always been the Custom Convertible.
Seven body styles were offered in the Custom V8 series with 793,763
built total and just 40,934 being the desirable convertible. It was
an uncommon sight on the roads then and that scarceness has only
increased with time. Beautifully restored and a former AACA
National First Prize (Junior) winner in Gainesville, Florida, this
1951 Custom V8 Convertible was a very solid original car before
being restored by a Ford marque specialist. The Ford runs and
drives like new. This car is driven by the renowned 239ci, 100hp
flathead V8 engine and is matched to a three-speed manual
transmission. The uncommon Casino Cream paint presentation is
beautiful and it looks spectacular with its tan convertible
power-operated top and similarly shaded interior. Among the
equipment features are rear fender skirts, heater/defroster, clock,
beautiful brightwork and trim elements, AM radio, stylish dashboard
and interior appointments, color-keyed steel wheels with center
caps and trim rings and Firestone wide whitewall tires. Along with
the AACA First Prize, the Ford is also a "multiple-time" Early V-8
Ford Club of America Dearborn Award winner.
