Vehicle Description
If you're a fan of the cars that got Detroit humming after WWII,
then you already know this convertible. The 1950 Ford Custom was
part of that great style revolution that brought a new era of
sleekness into design. So to find a turnkey ready droptop that
represents this era so well is a true gem.
This Ford gets it right. The light green paint is the perfect
pastel hue to represent the era correctly. It looks fantastic on
the body, and it even looks great in the little places such as the
alternating color on the stylized wheel trim. And the black folding
roof gives this all the appeal of mint chocolate. Like any good
1950s car, there's plenty of chrome on the bumpers and on the
highly stylized grille. In the middle of that bullet nose there's
an "8" just so everyone knew back then that you were piloting the
big motor. Whitewalls, fender skirts, complete trim sweeping down
the profile, and that special hood ornament. This convertible has
everything you remember, and so its attraction is timeless.
Inside the exterior green is continued on the door tops and dash.
And now it's joined by a fantastic two-tone black and white combo.
You'll love showing this one off because the interior lets everyone
know it's a complete classic as it nicely intertwines the two
colors on the seats and side panels. This one feels so authentic
right down to the big round speedometer nestled behind the Custom
line's chrome ring steering wheel. Even the AM radio is still
cranking out tunes! The trunk looks great, too, with its correctly
colored spare wheel on a full-size bias ply whitewall.
The period-correct presentation continues under the hood, where the
239 cubic-inch flathead V8 is showcased in glowing bronze. The
engine bay is nicely detailed with the correct oil-bath air cleaner
matching the block, and the radiator hoses are so crisp, they look
like they are diving into the motor. But more than just looking
good, the flathead is a great engine for enjoying classic motoring.
A glasspack on the exhaust gives you a little extra rumble, and the
three-speed manual transmission lets you control that soundtrack
while also giving it a powerful feeling around town if you so
desire.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the classic that you'll love
to drive and love to show off. Since not too many cars do it as
well as this one, you might want to hurry up and grab it before
someone else does. Call today!!!
