NO RESERVE! By far, one of the most popular and desirable Ford
models for collectors of this year has always been the Ford Custom
Convertible, a beautiful example offered here. Seven body styles
were offered in the Custom V-8 series with 793,763 built in total
for this group, with 40,934 being the desirable convertible, this
accounts for just five-percent of the production. It was an
uncommon sight on the roads then and that scarceness has only
increased with time.
Beautifully restored and a former AACA National First Prize
(Junior) winner in Gainesville, Florida, this 1951 Custom V8
Convertible was a very solid original car before being restored in
this outstanding fashion by a Ford marque specialist. The Ford runs
and drives like new. This car is driven by the renowned 239ci,
100hp flathead V8 engine and is matched to a three-speed manual
transmission. The uncommon Casino Cream paint presentation is
beautiful and it looks spectacular with its tan convertible
power-operated top and similarly shaded interior. Among the
equipment features are rear fender skirts, heater/defroster, clock,
beautiful brightwork and trim elements, AM radio, stylish dashboard
and interior appointments, color-keyed steel wheels with center
caps and trim rings and Firestone wide whitewall tires. Along with
the AACA First Prize, the Ford is also a “multiple-time” Early V-8
Ford Club of America Dearborn Award winner.
