Vehicle Description
This 1951 Ford Custom two-door sedan does a terrific job of being a
period-correct hot rod. With nice metallic paint, the right
accessories, and a legendary flathead V8 under the hood, it's a
rolling icon.
The '51 Ford has always been a popular one with the custom car
scene because it really represents the first piece of automotive
optimism after WWII. But to get it this right takes someone with an
eye for detail. There are great hot rod details like the louvered
hood, lowered suspension, wide whitewalls, and a spotlight on
display. And the faux lake pipes are part of a great classic custom
cruiser tradition. Of course another reason why these show so well
is all the bright work that details everything from the dual
bullet-nose grille to the wraparound chrome bumpers. But the actual
body is relatively free of obsessive ornamentation, which allows
the shine of the burgundy to really pop on this Ford's upright
shoulders. So this classic really knows how to make the scene day
or night.
The interior has a great feeling of authenticity with the cloth
pattern on the seats nicely matching the doors, complete trim, and
a correct and taut headliner. Even the details are nice, like the
artful dual spoke steering wheel and the AM radio on display. Plus,
as a two-door sedan, you have coupe-like doors but plenty of rear
seat space to share with family and friends.
Under the hood is a terrific vintage presentation. After all, if
you're a Ford fan, it's had to beat the copper-top of Ford's famous
flathead V8. It's correctly accessorized with everything from the
dual barrel carb to the dual Ford radiator hoses doing their
90-degree plunge. The V8 fires up nicely, and the glasspack-style
dual exhaust makes a nice tone. Plus, you are in complete control
of it all thanks to the column-shifted three-speed manual
transmission.
The trim name of this upper-end Ford is Custom, and that's exactly
what you get in this package. It's a coupe that's distinct and
iconic, and it's ready to run right now. Call today!!!
