Vehicle Description
Stk. 2286 1950 Ford Custom Sedan
There was a sense of urgency for the big three automakers to get
cars to market after WWII. Ford won the battle when they introduced
the Ford Custom in the fall of 1948, a full six months before Chevy
and Chrysler reached the marketplace. The car was dubbed "the
shoebox Ford" by some because of its relatively flat body sides. It
was by far the most modern looking vehicle produced in that era
because it boasted no fender protrusions. This 1950 Ford Custom
Sedan has been the recipient of a partial restoration. The body has
a new coat of black (2016) that appears to be a one-stage enamel
finish. It will require some additional handwork to bring out its
best appearance. The interior has been nicely restored in period
correct cloth upholstery with a dashboard and steering wheel that
are classic '50's Ford. It is powered by a flathead Ford V8 that
our owner believes to have never been rebuilt. A column shifter
handles the 3-speed manual gearbox and 4-wheel hydraulic drums
manage braking. This is a classic Blue-Oval that has had a lot of
restoration work completed. It is a good driver now, but could be
much more with some additional effort. Call 800-650-1055 or visit
