Vehicle Description
The 1951 Ford Deluxe coupe is already a very in-demand vehicle,
especially when the flathead V8 is paired with a manual
transmission. So rarely are you going to find one that's so period
correct.
The coupe body on these classic Ford's are always a bit more
in-demand. They have the great new post-war style that put Ford
ahead of the rest, and in the case of the coupe, had great
proportions with the long trunk. So with something so special, it's
great to have this example so well-documented. This includes the
original buyer's invoice and purchase receipt that verify this was
an original and desirable California car. Plus, this one really has
extra elegance in its details. Those dual bullet-nose elements
leading the way, full-length side trim, and taillights that wrap
around the rear: it's all part of a stunning package. You can see
it all so well because of a quality of the trim and the high gloss
of the light blue paint.
The interior is exactly how you want it on an authentic-style
classic. The brown and white two-tone has a nice style on the split
bench seat and matching door panels. And everything from the rear
panel to the dash coordinates. And as you look at the flat floor in
the back, you see that this is a business coupe (always a fun
distinction.) Plus, the whole interior has a worn-in feeling of
authenticity. The atmosphere is truly built for classic motoring as
you slip behind the Art Deco steering wheel, gaze at the big round
speedometer directly behind it, and grab the column-mounted
shifter.
The period-correct presentation continues under the hood. The 239
cubic-inch motor is nicely detailed with the correct oil-bath air
cleaner and hallmark 90-degree dual pipes diving into the famous
flathead V8. But more than just looking vintage, the flathead is a
great engine for enjoying classic motoring. The motor fires up with
the kind of steadfastness as an old friend, and the three-speed
manual transmission lets you control that V8 soundtrack while also
giving it a powerful feeling around town.
Not only does the sale come with the cool original paperwork, but
also maintenance receipts that prove this has been cared for
correctly. It's a distinct and iconic Ford that's priced for you to
get your hands on right now. Call today!!!
