Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1951 Ford Custom Convertible! 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. This model is the final year, a '51 and she is a convertible. The Navy Blue paint with the light tan convertible soft-top is in great shape. Coupled with all the chrome and white wall tires gives this car a great presence. Inside you'll find tan leather seats that match the top well and is in good order. Under the hood is a rebuilt V8 engine backed by a rebuilt 3-speed manual transmission with O/D (not hooked up). Per the owner, the powertrain was rebuilt in 2015. Not just that either, the entire car was restored and is documented by receipts and photos in a binder that goes with the car. The owners states the body was taken off, was sanded, primered, and painted at the same time. All new interior, convertible top, fittings, the works. Car was well restored by Funtime Classic Cars out of Ringgold, Georgia. There is a binder of information that includes invoices, receipts, photos, diagrams, parts used and more. A separate photo album also goes with it that documents the restoration even further. Total of all parts and labor exceeded $35k. Car runs, drives, and shifts out very well as you would expect from such an extensive build. Current owner has had her for over 25 years, acquired from a private owner. Title is clean and clear and ready to be transferred into your name now. These cars do not come around often, especially convertibles, let alone with this level of work.

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
