With the 1949 Ford Custom being plagued by a multitude of noise and handling issues, Ford looked to recover with its revised 1950 model. Designers went to great lengths to ensure the new car was much quieter and free of the complications that inundated its predecessor. Over all the 1950 Ford Custom was a success. Featuring consumer friendly updates, such as, push button door handles, a recessed gasoline filler neck, and new complimenting hood ornamentation, Ford had gotten their automobile back on track to compete with the Belair. This 2 door Custom is near fundamental, ready for road, and expressive of that early engineering. Highlighted by a splendid Burgundy exterior paint, this car is the bell of the ball. Further finery is detailed through the factory wheels, Hot Rod Hubcaps and Time fitting Wide P205/75/R15 Silver Town White Wall Radials. As you snuggle up to the wheel, you will feel at one with this beauty, while sitting comfortably within her grey cloth interior. This car has received some TLC as of late, with a new wiring harness, new factory radio, and an electric wiper conversion kit. Upon lifting the hood, the original Flathead V8 is revealed and proudly displays many more years of dependability. It consists of a single carburetor and is linked to the initial 3 speed manual transmission. The engine is still in peak fitness and displays 74,532 actual miles. This truly classic car is in superlative condition and a highly sought-after piece of Ford History. The fact that it is nearly all original, in spectacular condition, and exceedingly desired, means this car won’t be available for long.
