Vehicle Description
1950 Meteor Custom
Ford of Canada offered the Meteor to Canadian Mercury-Lincoln dealers from 1949 to 1976 as an automobile to sell in the low price market, due to the dealer structure, in where smaller communities may have only a single dealership that was expected to carry a full line of models in both the low and mid priced field. Initially introduced in June, 1948 they shared the new post war full-size Ford bodies, chassis and power trains but with unique Meteor only trim.
This ultra rare Windsor, Ontario built club coupe is an amazing rust free all original sheet metal survivor, having only one repaint in the original Maywood green metallic. It features flawless brown broadcloth/vinyl bench seat upholstery with matching door panels, headliner and carpet. Adorned with many options including radio, clock, Magic Air heater, dual working spotlights, dual exterior mirrors, sunvisor, rear backup lights and front/rear bumper guards. Equipped with Ford’s triumphant 239 cubic inch 100hp flathead V8 engine with dual exhaust, mandatory three speed column shifted manual transmission, and overdrive for comfortable highway cruising. Dayton 205/75-15 wide white wall radial tires are highlighted with very rare two piece Meteor script full wheel covers and rear fender skirts. A seldom seen auto that will draw crowds at any car show, especially for our American friends. Drive it home… Price $22,500 USD
