For Sale: 1951 Ford Tudor in Lavergne, Tennessee

This 1951 Ford Tudor sedan is a true classic. So that's why there has been a solid investment to give it a straight body, sleek paint, a clean interior, and a smooth vintage powerhouse. The result is a car that feels like a time machine every time you take it down the road.

The maroon paint has a terrific luster, and it highlights the excellent body panels. It'll make you feel like today is 1951. The consignor says he sandblasted the body and took it down to the bare metal. Then it was built back with five coats of primer, three coats of maroon, and cleared over the full package. Plus, the new chrome bumpers complement the paint's shine. The quality really shows the difference you get in this kind of time-consuming work. And there were investments also made in the details, like the new windows, door handles, headlights, hub caps, beauty rings, and Coker whitewalls. So everything from the dual bullets in the grille to the rear fender skirts gives you the look of a true vintage car with truly upper-level quality.

The interior is updated without losing its vintage appeal. You can tell there was a nice investment in the black vinyl seats, and there's even a hint of tuck and roll style. The door panels, capering, and dash continue this look of vintage quality. The two-door sedans have a nice profile on the outside while still offering a large back seat and rear vent windows, so it makes for a fine classic to invite others along for the ride. The big steering wheel feels great in your hands, and beyond that everything looks correct - from the large speedometer to the AM radio that's still on display.

The engine bay has a great look of a true classic. In fact, the copper on the block, head, and air grabber really showcases the 226 cubic-inch inline-six. It makes for a nice look on a classic where the investments have been about keeping this looking honest and correct. You'll get an extra kick out of telling people that the block is 1951-correct. There have been solid investments in this motor, and the way it runs so smoothly reaffirms this kind of quality care. There's a newer brake system and newer suspension components to make for a good cruiser. Plus, the glasspack-style single exhaust gives a nice hum, and the column-mounted three-speed manual transmission adds to the '50s-style fun.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and service manuals. This kind of quality classic gets all the right attention. So don't miss this deal, call today!
