Vehicle Description
1951 Ford Victoria
The overall body style for the Ford shoebox continued into 1951 but
did receive multiple design changes including the introduction of
the dual bullet grill. This year also included the return of the
historic name of "Victoria" which had previously been used in the
30's. The name was applied to the 2 door hardtop and was the first
time it has been used since 1934. They were the top trim level and
meant to compete with the introduction of Chevrolets new Bel Air.
It proved to be a marketplace success as it outsold the Bel Air by
10%. This Ford Victoria is a very nice example of a survivor car
despite a few things being changed up on it. It was originally Baby
Blue and White but had been repainted in Red at some point in the
past. Recently Black accents were added to the roof and in cove
style section down the sides. All of the chrome and stainless trim
has a nice shine and Crestline trim has been added as well. A lot
of original nostalgic features are still in place like the
windshield visor and skirts which look great. It has Red painted
wheels with nice Ford hubcaps and thin white wall tires.
Under the hood is its original Flathead V8 that runs well. It has
been kept very stock with a 2 barrel carb, oil bath air cleaner,
8BA heads, a generator and 6 volt system. It is paired with a 3
speed manual transmission with overdrive that shifts smoothly. The
suspension and brakes are all the stock set up and all functioning
properly.
Inside the car has its original bench seats but has had new Gray
covers in a combo of cloth and vinyl. The door panels and headliner
are all original to the car. The dash is painted Gray and has all
of its stock components and gauges. The trunk has Black carpeting
and houses a spare with Firestone tire.
