Vehicle Description
This handsome 1949 Ford Custom two-door sedan has an awesome mix of
vintage style and upgrades. The exterior has a great classic
appearance, right down to the whitewalls. And you even have the
iconic flathead V8 under the hood. But the interior is a two-tone
set up with the best luxuries, including A/C.
This has the true classic look you love. The bullet-nose grille,
exposed polished trunk hinges, two-piece wheel covers, wraparound
chrome bumpers, and full-length trim are all part of the stylish
package that came on Ford's first post-war design. And you can
really see it so well thanks to the paint. It's a glossy black that
has a quality look, but it's nothing that you'll be too afraid to
take out on the road. And the deeper you dig into this one, the
more you see the driver-friendly package. Keen eyes will pick up on
some added details. You have upgraded headlight bezels, side window
rain guards, bright dual exhaust tips, and blue-dot taillights.
It's nothing to take away from the vintage look, but it does signal
that this one has received some individual attention.
The black and white theme of the interior has a classic appeal. And
there are nice vintage details, like the artful Ford steering wheel
and the AM radio that's still there for display. But you're never
going to describe this interior as "stock." There was an investment
here that starts with the seats. They are a detailed two-tone with
tuck and roll inserts and contrast piping. The front ones are now
ultra-comfy buckets that have plenty of bolstering and even power
adjust. And you'll love the details everywhere from the newer
carpeting to the jukebox embroidered on the rear seatback. The
center console is a full custom setup that includes a large
armrest, auxiliary gauges, and an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input.
And it leads to the vents for the cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning.
The engine bay shows off a correct-style flathead V8. There are
vintage details, including the oil-bath air cleaner. But what keeps
this a strong running cruiser for modern times are the thoughtful
upgrades. This includes a 12-volt electrical system, alternator,
fresh wiring, good hoses, and an aluminum radiator. Its good
driving nature also comes from a three-speed manual transmission
with overdrive and the irresistible hum of the glasspack-style dual
exhaust.
Nicely presented, correctly invested, comfortably upgraded, and
priced right - this '49 Ford is exactly what you want. So don't let
it slip away. Call now!
