For Sale: 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe in Arlington, Texas

1950 Ford Custom Deluxe

The "Shoebox" Ford was named as such due to the very different shape of vehicle as compared to the previous decade. This new style would quickly catch on as all other manufacturers started matching the more boxy body designed with incorporated fenders. This 1950 shoebox Ford is in great condition and all rust free. The body is solid and features a very classic Casino Cream paint that looks good. These cars wore a lot of chrome all of which is in place and in great condition. Up front is that bullet nose and the classic 2 piece lucite and chrome hood ornament. The car has a great look and has some extra features like the front overhead visor, spotlight and rear fender skirts. It even has the blue dot taillights and cat eye headlight covers which are nice old school touches. The glass is all in good shape with no cracks including the two piece front windshield. The car rides on chrome reverse rims with center caps and wide white wall tires which look perfect on a vehicle of this vintage.

Mechanically the car is in great condition and runs well. It has a flathead V8 that was rebuilt in the early 2000s and has only been driven 3,000 miles since. It has been nicely upgraded with Offenhauser heads, an Offenhauser 3 deuce intake, chrome air cleaners, chrome alternator, and chrome AC compressor. The car sounds great through the added Fenton headers into dual glass packs. It runs nice and cool thanks to the mechanical and additional electric pusher fan. The transmission is a 3 speed manual with a column shifter. Underneath the car is all solid with solid pans and no rust. Other nice upgrades include the electric fuel pump.

The interior is complete in Brown and in good condition. It has a split front bench seat with a full seat in the rear. The dash is nicely painted and has a mostly stock layout with the original gauges, knobs, switches, etc. It has the factory AM radio but it is not currently working. Underneath the dash it has an added set of gauges for oil/temp as well as the AC controls and vents. The trunk offers plenty of storage space for all your car show gear, is nicely upholstered and houses the spare with cover.

This is one clean car that cruises around well and gets a lot of attention at shows. It also comes with a very cool vintage window mounted air unit that is painted Brown.

It is being offered up at the very reasonable price of $24,950.00!
