Vehicle Description
Total body off the frame restoration by a renowned Ford restorer.
It is a high quality car cosmetically and mechanically. Ford was
the last major manufacturer still producing a "woody" with real
wood. It was the most expensive Ford you could buy. The 49 Ford was
a styling sensation. So different from cars prior, that until now
had separate pontoon style fenders. Lack of sales kept production
low. Today interest and prices are high- a woody cost is 250%
higher then a metal hardtop and 50% higher then even a convertible.
This one is priced aggressively and is one of the best
available.
EXTERIOR: Restored to look new. The metal is rust free, damage
free. Has a maroon metallic paint polished like glass. The 2 tone
wood is beautiful. It appears to be completely redone, has a semi
gloss finish. All new tinted glass with new rubber gaskets and
fuzzy seals. Windows roll and slide easy. All of the chrome has
been replated. The stainless trim is polished. Rims are painted
body color, deluxe trim is new. The tires are reproduction
Firestone whitewalls. In back it has continental kit mounted to the
working tailgate.
INTERIOR: Look at that dash- gorgeous work of art! The painted faux
woodgrain on the dash and interior trim is redone spot on. The
knobs sparkle, gauges are all contained in one neat cluster. Fully
loaded too- 3rd row seating, a radio, clock and deluxe heater. Yep,
that's loaded in 1949.
Heater works, clock is ticking, gauges work. There is original
literature in the glovebox. The side panels are actual wood and
have a beautiful finish. The 2 front seats and armrests have been
correctly upholstered. New cloth headliner and visors. Correct
rubber mat covers the floor. Interior chrome trim has been redone.
There are seat belts in the 2nd row seat (for the grandkids).
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Completely restored to stock specs. Every
component restored like new. It is cosmetically detailed to show
quality. All new cloth wrapped wiring. The flathead V-8 purrs. We
stored this car a few months before putting it up for sale, I got
in and it fired right up and ran smooth.
UNDERSIDE: Body was off the frame and everything underneath was
restored. The bottom of the body is all metal and sprayed with a
color matched thin chip gaurd. The chassis was cleaned and painted
black. All the suspension and steering was rebuilt. Brakes, shocks,
exhaust were replaced. Master cylinder is rebuilt. New u-joints,
drive shaft, brake hoses and lines. E-brake is hooked up. Has
3-speed trans with overdrive for cruising at highway speeds. Bottom
of motor is spotless.
What a nostalgic piece of Americana. Sure to put smiles on many
faces. This is the only way to buy one- already restored! Saves
time and money. This is a good one. No, a great one!
