Vehicle Description
NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY
1950 Ford Custom Sedan
In 1950 it was all about selling cars...to everyone, and the Custom
and Deluxe sedans were well within reach of the average consumer.
Good looks, decent performance and plenty of interior room for the
larger family were just a few of the selling points that all
stressed great VALUE!
For consignment directly from the barn find category, this Custom
2-Door Sedan. She's a bit ragged, a bit rough around the edges, and
a bit rusty, and has some missing parts, but she's in dire need of
TLC to bring her back to roadworthy status. Are you the one?
Exterior
Rustic yellow still adorns the exterior of this barn find. Upfront
we are missing the hood and a headlight. The grille has some rusts
do the body panels which are showing chipping as well. Side spear
trim has gone by the wayside on the rear quarters, and all but one
of the moon caps is gone. Glass is dirty but all intact, and some
rust is forming on the rockers.
Interior
The interior retains its originality, with a metal dash and sparse
gauges and knobs. Carpet is dry rotted away, and the seats are
still in amazingly good condition with tuck and roll broadcloth
velour inserts and smooth vinyl bolsters. Side panels and door
panels retain their cloth however some of the cranks for the
windows are missing. The headliner has mold, and water damage that
can be seen throughout. An original steering wheel fronts the
dash.
Drivetrain
A 239ci V8 in non-running condition has a 3-speed manual
transmission attached.
Undercarriage
Heavy surface rust invades the undercarriage, and invasive rust has
made the spare tire well to be rusted through. There is rust
through also on some of the floorpans. Lower inside door panels as
well as body hangers where they meet the body are showing some
structural damage.
A barn find certainly in need of ambitious restoration, or just
make use of it as a parts car. Am economy model from Ford in their
history of catering to the masses.
