his particular Tudor Custom Coupe wears an elegant dark blue finish over a clean gray cloth interior and benefits from a meticulous, high-quality ground-up restoration performed approximately 15 years ago by an engine builder, and devoted 1950s Ford enthusiast. Since then, the car has seen fewer than 5,000 miles and has spent much of its time stored carefully indoors. The result is a solid, straight-bodied classic that still presents beautifully today, with a smooth, glossy finish that’s flat and straight. The paint retains a nice shine and shows only minor chips, scuffs, and scratches consistent with age and careful use.
During the restoration, all of the brightwork was either replaced or re-chromed, and it all continues to show like new. The weatherstripping was fully replaced, and all of the glass is in outstanding condition. The car was also thoughtfully converted to a 12-volt electrical system for improved reliability and performance.
Under the hood, the rebuilt drivetrain, upgraded with aluminum heads and factory-style overdrive, delivers smooth, confident power. The car is equipped with the classic three-on-the-tree manual transmission, offering that authentic vintage driving experience that defines the era. Despite sitting for periods over the years, it starts easily and runs and drives well.
As a Custom trim model, this Tudor features upscale interior appointments, refined brightwork, and higher-grade finishes. Inside, the gray cabin is gorgeous, comfortable, and shows as new. Included in the trunk are the original dash clock (converted to quartz) and the factory radio, ready for installation by the next owner.
The car also rides on reproduction wide whitewall tires from Coker, size P205/75R15, which complete the correct 1950s look. With a bit of fresh maintenance and detailing, this Ford could easily be a serious show contender, it’s that clean!
If you’re seeking a true piece of American automotive history, something to show, cruise, or simply enjoy on a weekend drive, this 1950 Ford Tudor Custom Coupe delivers with charm, style, and character that never go out of fashion. The craftmanship, time, and cost, invested in a restoration like this, would be nearly impossible to replicate at this price point. Thanks for looking.
