Beautiful 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Woody Station Wagon
New to our Benicia showroom is this beautiful 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Woody 2 Door Station Wagon with maroon exterior paint, simply beautiful original hardwoods and tan leather interior. You’ll find a fully restored 239 flathead V-8 engine under the hood with Edelbrock aluminum heads, tube headers, 2 single-barrel carburetors, a dual exhaust and a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This outstanding classic was also converted over to a 12V system during it’s complete frame-off restoration back in the 90’s and it’s very nicely equipped with factory options such as a cabin heater, a rear mounted spare tire, dual mirrors, a dash clock, a Ford AM radio and 15” painted wheels with trim rings and whitewall tires.
Highly Original w/ Frame-Off Restoration Back in 1990’s
This 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Woody Station Wagon feels extra special since its model year was one of the last true Woodies. With a great color combination, very high originality and such a great restoration effort several decades ago, this classic has everything going for it. You will find a few very minor flaws to the exterior paint but otherwise, this classic is simply gorgeous and has really withstood the test of time. The fully restored factory hardwoods in particular stand out with beautiful wood grain patterns and everything you’d look for in a prestigious example.
Additionally, this 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Woody Station Wagon is immaculate throughout the whole interior with working gauges and that signature 50’s styling. The custom leather seating could almost pass for new and everything looks excellent from the door paneling to the miles of carpeting with chrome inserts. The engine bay has also been finished to show-quality standards to make an instant impression in person. However, this is not simply a show-stopper because it also offers solid ride quality with very impressive overall acceleration and performance.
Simply Outstanding Overall Curb Appeal & Performance
Overall, this 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Woody Station Wagon is one of the most pristine original examples on the open market today and it has everything a discerning collector looks for in an investment grade example. With the recent popularity increase towards these examples and the relatively conservative price point, there’s simply no way possible that this example remains available inside our showroom for long!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
