For Sale: 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe in STRATFORD, Connecticut for sale in Stratford, CT
Vehicle Description In 1948 Ford unveiled the first all-new American automobile design since the end of World War II.
The new car was a stark departure from the outgoing model designed seven years earlier, with integrated pontoon fenders, a modern ladder frame, independent coil suspension in the front with semi-elliptical springs in back, as well as an engine placement further forward to allow for increased passenger room.
The new Ford, nicknamed the shoebox, was offered with both a 3.
7L inline-six and a 3.
9L flathead V8 producing 90 and 100 horsepower, respectively.
With other manufactures slow to produce a redesigned consumer car, the Shoebox was an overwhelming market success and became an American icon overnight.
This 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible comes from long-term ownership and was recently treated to a detailed restoration.
The Shoebox is finished in a beautiful bright red over a black and red vinyl interior with a matching black convertible top, all of which appear brand new.
The 3.
9L V8 engine was rebuilt within the last ten years to factory specifications.
The result is a 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe that not only looks fresh off the showroom floor but performs flawlessly under any conditions.
The three-speed manual transmission is smooth and effortless, and the automatic convertible top works precisely as intended.
This Custom Deluxe is a beautifully preserved and restored piece of classic Americana ready to be enjoyed by its new owner.
