1951 FORD VICTORIA Street Rod
History
The 1949-51 Ford was an American automobile produced by Ford. It
was the first all-new automobile design introduced by the Big Three
after World War II, civilian production having been suspended
during the war, and the 1946-1948 models from Ford, GM, and
Chrysler being updates of their pre-war models.
Popularly called the "Shoebox Ford" for its slab-sided design, the
1949-51 Ford is credited both with saving Ford and ushering in
modern streamlined car design with changes such as integrated
fenders and more . The design would continue through the 1951 model
year.
Why Is This Car Special
The 1951 Ford Victoria Street Rod we have at Skyway Classics
features a whole lot of custom work that is reminiscent of the mods
that were done on it back in the fifties.
Back when the car was new it was an instant hit, outselling the
Chevrolet by nearly 10%. All 1951 Fords sported a new "dual-bullet"
grille and heavy chrome bumpers.
Mechanical
Under the hood of this Ford you will find what is the essence of
all hot rods, a real "Flathead Ford." It is 239 cubic inches of
Ford V8 fury and has been modified with additions like a
performance Holley carb, performance spark plug wires and ignition
parts, chrome alternator, modified radiator, braided hoses, blower
type air cleaner, and much more. It is backed by a three-speed
manual transmission and rolls on white-wall tires with factory
chrome wheel covers.
Interior
The interior of our Ford is a stock appearing blue-white design.
The split bench seat is very comfortable and both it and the rear
are finished out in the two tone design. The dash has both stock
and aftermarket gauges, Betty Boop flor mats, custom wood floor
console, there-speed shifter on the column, and even fuzzy
dice.
Exterior
This 51 is becoming arguably one of the most favored among vintage
car builders and customizers. Our Vicky is a glossy Blue and white
with great chrome and trim, emblems, lights, fender cover, and a
sunshade too.
Completing our 1951 Ford is a rear "Continental" spare tire on
bumper. Nothing says fifties custom as it does. And the winged V
emblem and side Victoria and V8 emblems let everyone know that this
car was and is in a class by itself.
Conclusion
The 1951 Ford Victoria like we have at Skyway Classics is one
endless classic and street rod custom that deserves to be owned by
someone who wants a car that embodies all the right stuff from back
then.
