this extremely rare 1950 Ford Crestliner custom sedan. This
handsome "shoebox" Ford wore the high wattage colors with high
style, standard was slatted fender skirts, gold anodized script and
dress hub caps that rounded out the custom look. 1950 saw a new
Crestliner "sports sedan",a 2-door sedan with 2-tone paint intended
to battle Chevrolet's popular hardtop coupe of 1950. The 1949 and
1950 styling was similar, with a single central "bullet" in the
frowning chrome grille. The new Fords got the now-famous "Ford
Crest" which appeared on the division's vehicles for many decades
in one form or another. Ford offered the Crestliner in two color
combinations, Coronation Red Metallic and Black or Sportsman's
Green and Black. This was Ford's only two-tone vehicle in its
line-up. Refinished in the correct brightly colored Sportman's
Green and black custom paint, this sedan shows extremely well. The
correct black vinyl roof is also in very good condition. All the
original trim is present, complete and brilliant., however this
Crestliner takes the trim a step (or two) further with the trim
accessories. The front bumpers with optional chrome overriders and
original bullet grill fit is extremely tight and chrome finish is
exquisite. The rear bumper mirrors the theme of the front bumper
with an excellent finish. The period correct headlights and tail
lights are in excellent condition along with the rear fender skirts
and custom chrome tail pipe. Inside, the newly upholstered original
tan cloth striped front seats and rear seats appear in excellent
condition. The matching stripped door panels, black carpet and two
tone dashboard are a continuation of the striking green & black
exterior of the car and look fantastic. All gauges are located in
their original place have correct appearance and function as
originally designed, Equipped with the original wind up clock and
"Magic-Air" heating, ventilation and defrosting system completing
the theme. The original Crestliner four spoke steering wheel and
Super Deluxe radio and NOS speakers are in excellent condition and
functions as designed. This nicely presented Ford is equipped with
a 239cid Flat head V8 engine fed by a Ford/Holley 94 carburetor.
Power is transferred to the rear wheels by three speed
on-the-column manual transmission, front independent, coil springs,
tube shocks, rear; live axle, leaf springs, tube shocks and front
and rear drum brakes. The original steel wheels are 15-inch with
exterior color matching paint and original Ford center caps with
B.F. Goodrich wide whitewall tires. If you're allergic to chrome
and compliments, then this '50 Ford custom Crestliner sedan isn't
for you. However, if you're immune, we've never seen a more period
correct example...period! GET OUT AND DRIVE! Current mileage on the
odometer shows 47,723 miles. It is sold as is and is with a mileage
