Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Club Coupe! A few years after WWII ended Ford was looking to bring a new car to the top trim level in their lineup. The Custom name would live on for a long time but the Custom Deluxe specifically was only made from 1949-1951. Here we have a '50 model Custom Deluxe Club Coupe. The Sheridan Blue paint looks good and the chrome is nice and bright. The Blue gray stripe cloth interior looks great and complements the exterior tones. Under the hood is a Flathead 8-cylinder engine backed to a 3-speed manual transmission on the column that we know as "3-on-the-tree." The exhaust note from that Flathead sounds very good and healthy. It runs and drives and shifts out very well. This car has been subjected to multiple restorations at different levels. The history of its restoration is documented in detail on a 7-page report with notes going back to the 80s. The biggest restoration appears to have occurred in 1989 when it was repainted, engine rebuilt, and much more. Current owner has had her for over 10 years, acquired from Gateway Louisville. Recent work performed: Upholstery repair in 2017. In 2019 she received a new radiator, new heat indicators for the dash. In 2021 the car received another engine rebuild, brake rework, new crank, resized connecting rods, new oil pump, flushed oil gauge rings, replaced the master cylinder and much more. The car only has 150 miles on it since the motor rebuild. The title is clean and clear and ready to be transferred into your name now.

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
