Classic Cars is happy to feature this 1950 Ford Tudor Sedan. This
car has been completely restored and modernized. Replacing its
original Flathead V-8 engine is a Steve Schmidt competition small
block V-8 engine with a four-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock
intake manifold. Schmidt is renowned for his quality racing engines
and this one will put you back in the seat after you press to the
go pedal. Check the Schmidt website and you will find this
powerplant will set you back more than $10,000! Engine is mated to
a three-speed automatic transmission and car also comes with a full
air ride suspension and power brakes. Outside, the car's black
cherry paint looks good, with only minor blemishes visible upon
close inspection. The windshield wipers are inoperable but all
glass panels are in good shape, with no hazing or cracking. The
vehicles lights are in similar condition, all are intact and
present no hazing. All of the body panels are straight and the
bumpers are likewise in overall great condition. There are no
exterior door handles on the car and it has been custom fitted with
"suicide doors" or ones that are hinged at the B-pillar. In
addition, there are two spotlights, one on each A-pillar. Resting
on Kumho tires with plenty of tread and sized 255/35ZR20, they
surround five-spoke American Racing wheels, which are in great
shape. Using the manual door poppers, (the remote control is
inoperative) swing open the doors and you'll see the handsome
interior. With some items taken from a GM vehicle, the center
console shows some minor wear but the tan seats with black piping,
carpet, headliner, dashboard, four-spoke steering wheel with
tilting column, door panels, package shelf and shifter are all in
great condition. There's an air gauge for the suspension between
the power window switches. There is a Marine XD6100 AM/FM 180-watt
stereo with CD player and two 6x9 speakers in the package shelf.
The odometer and both fuel gauges are inoperative but the
speedometer works as designed. Auto Meter ancillary gauges are
below the main dashboard and ahead of the console, including a
clock. Driver assist features include power seats with three memory
settings, power windows and tilt steering column. The Napa Legend
battery is in the trunk, along with an extra interior trim piece.
The�1949 Ford�was the first all-new automobile design introduced by
the�Big Three�after�World War II. Civilian production was suspended
during the war and the 1946-1948 models from Ford, GM, and Chrysler
were updates of their pre-war models. Popularly called the "Shoebox
Ford" for its slab-sided, "ponton" design, the car is credited both
with saving the company and ushering in modern streamlined car
design with changes like integrated fenders. This design continued
through the 1951 model year. Save for its drivetrain, this was an
all new car in every way, with a modern�ladder frame�supporting
a�coil spring�suspension in front and longitudinal�semi-elliptical
springs�in back. The engine went forward to make more passenger
room and the antiquated "torque tube" was replaced by a
modern�drive shaft. Ford's popular 226�CID�L-head�straight-6�and
239�CID�Flathead�V-8�remained, now rated at 90�hp and 100�hp,
respectively. 1950 saw a new�Crestliner�"sports sedan"�a two-door
sedan with two-tone paint intended to battle�Chevrolet's
popular�hardtop�coupe of 1950.�Another new name was�Country Squire,
which referred to the two-door wood-sided station wagon. All wagons
received flat-folding middle seats at mid-year, an innovation that
would reappear in�minivans�of the 1990s. The 1949 and 1950 styling
was similar, with a single central "bullet" in the frowning chrome
grille.�In the center there was a red space that had either a 6 or
8 depending if the car had the six-cylinder engine or the V-8.�The
trim lines were renamed as well, with "Standard" becoming "Deluxe"
and "Custom" renamed "Custom Deluxe." The new Fords got the
now-famous "Ford Crest" which appeared on the division's vehicles
for many decades in one form or another. In 1950, Ford also
manufactured a lesser-known�business coupe. Competitors to this
Ford in 1950 included Chevrolet's Styleline Deluxe two-door sedan,
Nash's Ambassador Super two-door and the Hudson Pacemaker Deluxe
two-door Current mileage on the odometer shows 7,029 miles. It is
sold as is, where is on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title.
