Description : Gateway classic cars of Nashville is very proud to digitally present this 1949 Ford Custom. This 4-door beauty is looking sharp in light green paint and period correct beige interior. The entire car looks like it just popped out of a portal from the past. The paint, chrome and cloth interior could be original if this car had been hermetically sealed in a vacuum bag in 1949 and just opened last week. The fact that the biggest flaw I can find is the missing minute hand on the tic toc clock, which still runs! Talking about running, the 239 cubic inch flat head still purrs like the tiger it is. Meshed with a 3-speed manual transmission that is shifted on the column, 3 on the tree. Having looked through the photos of this car I am sure you noticed that all the knobs and switches on the dash are the same, bright and shiny. With fender skirts in place and wide white wall tires, this car is hard to ignore. She is a pleasure to drive and I always get a kick out of the column shifter just try and keep your left hand free to wave to the onlookers that gather. Options for this 1949 Ford Custom include: Am radio, Cloth interior, Headlights, Clock, Horn and a ton of fun.

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.
