Vehicle Description
This is the car for those who want a bit of fun with their
classics. After all, a 1950 Ford Sedan dressed in full Sheriff
livery is the kind of car that's going to get you invited to
everything from parades to charity events.
This is a great classic to upgrade to police duty. After all, the
"shoebox" Fords are now a legendary design that set the tone for
post-WWII styling. The bullet-nose face, wraparound chrome bumpers,
Ford family crest badging are all part of the legend. And only
heightening this vintage appeal is the police livery. You have
terrific working details, like the front spotlight, red top lights,
and old-school mechanical siren. The black and white paint is a
true classic, and this one has a cool worn-in style like this car
has been out on patrol. And all those decals are correctly done,
right down to the area phone number and style for Mobile.
The interior has a clean look of good investments to keep this
clean, simple, and comfortable. There are even added seatbelts. We
doubt you'll be carting around any offenders in the back, but this
full-sized Ford has plenty of room to carry family and friends when
it's parade time. It's a little hard not to feel like Barney Fife
the moment you slip behind the classic Ford steering wheel and gaze
at all the classic police pieces, like the full Motorola two-way
radio kit that's there as a display piece.
Under the hood is what's believed to be a year-correct 239
cubic-inch flathead V8. You'll spot many correct/classic pieces,
including the oil bath air cleaner. And the way it fires up and
runs today lets you know it has been under proper care. The sale
even comes with a carb rebuild kit so that you can continue
enjoying it for many years to come. And we live the classic but
firm control provided by the column-shifted three-speed manual
transmission. Upgrades like the 12-volt system, alternator, newer
plug wires, and the electric fan are the kind of things that would
be good for a patrol car back in the day, and today it makes it
easier for everything from a cruise-in to parades.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and other
period-correct paperwork. You're not the only one who is tempted by
this Ford's authority, so hurry up and call today!
