1950 Ford Custom CoupeThe Fordillac originated in 1949 when
innovative mechanics and racers, began installing Cadillac OHV V8
engines into new Ford cars, replacing the standard flathead
engines. These conversions were marketed as Fordillacs, offering
160-horsepower, 331-cubic-inch Cadillac engines with either manual
or automatic transmissions, along with optional engine and chassis
upgrades. These vehicles were a very important milestone in early
hot rod history. Paint and exterior Exterior paint is in very good
