This 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe is a standout example of early postwar
American design, thoughtfully restored and enhanced for both visual
impact and driving enjoyment. Finished in the striking and
period-correct Sportsman Green, this two-door coupe exudes vintage
flair while benefiting from key performance and interior upgrades.
With its tasteful customization and solid mechanicals, this Ford is
ideal for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a turn-key
classic that turns heads wherever it goes. Before we dive into the
details of this stunning Ford's exterior, interior, and powertrain,
we'd like to introduce ourselves.
Smoky Mountain Traders is a premier classic car dealership located
in East Tennessee, specializing in muscle cars and vintage
vehicles. As a family-owned and operated business, we take pride in
offering one of the largest and most trusted selections of classic
cars for sale in the region. Unlike many dealers, we own 100% of
our inventory-we do not accept consignments-so you can buy with
confidence, knowing every car on our lot is hand-selected by our
team.
Wearing a smooth and glossy coat of Sportsman Green, the body of
this Custom Deluxe presents beautifully with its classic two-door
coupe proportions and flowing postwar lines. The paintwork
highlights the sculpted fenders and streamlined silhouette that
made the 1950 model so iconic. All chrome elements-including the
bumpers, side moldings, hood ornament, and bullet-nose grille-are
polished to a mirror finish, offering brilliant contrast to the
soft green tone. Out back, the teardrop taillights and dual exhaust
tips add a touch of custom flair, while a smoothed rear panel gives
the car a cleaner look. It sits on a set of polished Weld Racing
wheels wrapped in Douglas Touring A/S radials, completing the mild
street rod aesthetic with a contemporary edge.
The interior has been fully customized with classic black vinyl
upholstery, featuring vertical pleating on the bench seats and door
panels. The dash is finished in a smooth metallic silver and
accented with a full set of auxiliary gauges, providing clear
readouts for vital engine functions. A sport-style steering wheel
sits at the helm, and a modern radio has been tastefully integrated
into the dash for added convenience. Black seat belts have been
added for safety, while the custom headliner and clean black
carpeting help tie together a high-quality, show-ready interior.
Overall, the cabin balances originality with comfort, giving this
coupe a usable and stylish space.
Under the hood is a strong-running small 302 V8, offering a major
performance upgrade over the factory flathead engine. It's dressed
with finned aluminum valve covers, a polished air cleaner, and a
four-barrel carburetor, all tucked into a clean and color-matched
engine bay. A large aluminum radiator ensures reliable cooling. For
added performance the 302 V8 is mated to the C4 Automatic
Transmission and the 8" Rear end with 3.00 gears. It's been
upgraded with Disc Brakes on the front and is equipped with Power
Steering as well. The exhaust note is assertive but refined, thanks
to a dual exhaust system with Xlerator mufflers that enhances the
car's custom appeal. A modern battery and updated wiring contribute
to reliable operation, making this Ford as roadworthy as it is
eye-catching.
With a rotating inventory of 70 to 80 high-quality classic cars,
we're committed to offering the best selection at unbeatable
prices. Whether you're looking for a fully restored muscle car, a
survivor classic, or a weekend cruiser, Smoky Mountain Traders
delivers quality, value, and unmatched customer service.
