Big changes came for Ford after 1948 when the cars were completely redesigned for 1949 and on. This wasn't just a mild redesign either but a major overhaul and was the first one following WWII. The Custom model was introduced and known as the "shoebox" Ford. All of a sudden the idea of wide separated fenders that stemmed from the Model T was completely abandoned and would never return as vehicles started to incorporate the fenders for a more streamlined rectangular look. This cool 1950 "shoebox" Ford is a really solid car that has resided with the current owner 25 years. It is garage kept and was repainted in Black sometime in the past after being Blue originally. There doesn't appear to be any rust issues on the body and no evidence suggesting previous accidents. The original chrome and trim pieces are all in place including the iconic center bullet grill. The original hood ornaments on these are often missing but this one still has it in place. The glass on it is all good with no cracks or problems. It sits on its original steel wheels with Ford hubcaps, beauty rings, and thin white wall tires.
The car starts up and runs well thanks to its original Flathead V8 motor. It has a 2 barrel carburetor, its original oil bath air cleaner, and its original style gravity oil filter. Combined with the motor is a 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive. It is a 6 volt system and the car doesn't smoke. It is the stock brake set up but the car stops nicely.
The interior of the car is done in Red and has all been replaced. You can tell it hasn't been used much since that was done because the carpet, headliner and upholstery work still looks fresh. It has a split front bench and full rear bench. Red floor mats have been added to keep the car's carpet in good shape. A custom Silver console has been made for it which gives you more storage space and cup holders. The dash is all painted and hasn't been cut up or modified. It has a stock layout with all of the stock components. The original 2 spoke steering wheel with chrome horn ring sits in front of the driver and the horn does work. The trunk is carpeted and houses a spare.
This is a very straight forward and solid car that is ready for a new home.
This affordable classic could be yours for $24,000.00!
