Vehicle Description
This 1950 Ford Club Coupe is a V8 cruiser with plenty of custom
touches, but the real trick is that none of it takes away from the
authentic classic car feeling. It makes for a great combo where
showmanship is maximized without sacrificing authenticity.
A bold red really sets the tone nicely for this Ford. After all,
the coupe body was the one with the sleeker style, and the color
shows it off with a radiant gloss that attracts attention without
looking out of place. The same goes for the bright whitewall tires
and even brighter chrome. And the 1950 cars were known for doing
even more with the now iconic bullet-nose design. What really makes
this one stand out from the crowd is how it has all the best custom
elements that you would put on a car in the 1950s. This includes
the dual spotlights, windshield sunshade, fender skirts, and extra
brightwork details like the headlight eyelids, front fender
accents, and door handle guard. And of course, nothing beats the
look of a continental kit on the rear. So the result is a car that
looks absolutely period-correct while also looking absolutely
distinct.
The interior continues to hold true to the 1950s. The gray striped
cloth on both rows has a comfortable feel, and the door panels have
the same two-tone to match nicely. Plus, with the carpeting, dash,
and headliner all done in a harmonizing gray, there's an overall
impression of a dignified and correct classic. From the driver's
seat it looks nicely detailed with everything from the factory
radio that's still there for display to the artful steering wheel
with intricate trim. There's even the correct insignia trim on the
door tops. It makes for an atmosphere that feels thoughtfully
stock.
The 239 cubic-inch flathead V8 looks nice showcased in glowing
bronze. Plus, the engine bay is nicely detailed, including the
correct oil-bath air cleaner. And while the presentation is highly
authentic, you will also notice the upgrade to a 12 volt system and
an alternator. It makes for a better driver's car, and this motor
loves to run. The flathead V8 makes a terrific tune from the dual
exhaust, and the three-speed manual transmission lets you control
that soundtrack with a cool classic column-shifted feeling. And as
you look underneath the car, you can spot the clean look that
translates into a confident feeling on the road.
This is one of those cool classics that loves to respect its
history while also making sure it never gets lost in a crowd. So if
you want to stand out in all the best way, call today!
