Vehicle Description
The 1951 Ford Victoria marks Ford's return after WWII to offering a
car with added styling and premium touches. Of course, when it
comes on a super-slick hot rod with great paint, an A/C interior,
and upgraded V8 power, then this is the perfect coupe to fit in
with any vintage crowd.
When you want a cool-looking custom, the Victoria is the right
place to start. Its pillarless hardtop design with wraparound rear
window is a premium feature that makes this far rarer than the
standard coupe. But this is so darn attractive that Ford Victorias
actually outsold Chevy's line-topping Bel Air in '51. This one
looks amazing dressed all in black. It's a super glossy application
that really announces this as a custom machine with added touches
like the shaved door handles and subtle painted graphics that run
along the doorline. Plus, you even have frenched headlights and
power antenna for added sleekness. Like any good 1950s coupe, this
one has plenty of brightwork led by the front end that expertly
mixes the bumper and grille into one comprehensive design. There's
great trim running down the side of the car and around the hardtop
(don't you love the details like the ford family crest at the
base?) Plus, there's a ton of brightwork upgrades, like the lake
pipes, classic Cadillac wheel covers, and the bumper wrapping
around the upgraded continental kit. It's a total custom package
that earns its Black Thunder name seen on the rear wheel.
The interior tells you this one is special, too. It starts with the
black and gray two-tone that is so nicely interwoven, you even get
this color combined on the fabric seat inserts. It's such a uniform
presentation that you'll love showing it off. But more than just
look great, this was meant to be a true comfortable cruiser. That's
why you have upgrades like an AM/FM/CD stereo, fresh carpeting, and
cold-blowing air conditioning running modern R134a. The newer
dual-spoke steering wheel gives you a nice view of the big art deco
speedometer. And one look at the full set of gauges, including the
expertly integrated aftermarket ones, and you'll know there's
something special under the hood.
This custom is powered by Ford's mighty 302 cubic-inch V8. It's
nice to see a Ford get upgraded in the engine bay, while still
keeping the power in the blue oval family. This one has been
dressed to impress with custom blue paint on the block that also
coordinates with the painted ridges in the polished air topper and
valve covers. It inhales deeply with a Holley dual-feed four-barrel
carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet rumble thanks to the
glasspack-style dual exhaust. This one is built to enjoy, and so
you get great driving features like the three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and power brakes with front
discs.
There's so many more custom touches to go over - everything from
the louvered hood to LED upgrades. So give us a call for all the
details on this amazing custom and comfortable classic Ford.
