Ford Sedan 239 Flathead V8 1950
General description :
QUALITY & CORRECT, 239 FLATHEAD V8, 3 SP, PS, ORIGINAL SEAT, BEAUTIFUL IN & OUT!
The 1950 Ford is iconic. So when you can find a two-door sedan in one of the best color combos around, and it's the right mix of investments and originality, well then you know this the right deal at the right price.
Everyone loves the sleek look of Ford's first post-war design. It was fairly groundbreaking when it appeared, which is why it became the darling of the custom car crowds. And while others have gone as far as to drop them to the ground and add flame jobs, this one goes in a different direction. It draws all eyes on it thanks to a nice glossy black that's similar to what you'd see back in the '50s. Of course, another reason why it's so distinctive is all the brightwork that details everything from the mirror-like wraparound bumpers, to the full-length side trim. And nothing beats the iconic bullet-nose grille. As you look closer, the details become even more impressive. You'll love watching other people point out great pieces like the fender skirts and two-piece windshield. dPlus, the wheels mix the bright factory covers with the red steel to help draw extra attention to the full whitewalls.
The interior is exactly how you want it. Some items were properly restored, like the mohair headliner. But then there are terrific original features, like the seats that have been preserved under plastic – so you can see the '50s style, right down to the button-top presentation. In fact, the full atmosphere is like a time machine. The Art Deco steering wheel, big round speedometer directly behind it, and all the right features on display (including the AM radio) – it's all part of a true vintage package.
The period-correct presentation with the right investments continues under the hood. The 239 cubic-inch flathead V8 is showcased in glowing bronze. The engine bay is nicely detailed with the correct oil-bath air cleaner. But more than just looking good, the flathead is a great engine for enjoying classic motoring. And upgrades like power steering, an alternator, and a large aluminum radiator mean this classic Ford is much easier to enjoy on a whim. Plus, the glasspack-style dual exhaust gives you a little extra rumble, and the three-speed manual transmission lets you control that soundtrack while also giving it a powerful feeling around town.
Nicely presented, correctly invested, and priced right – this '50 Ford is exactly what you want, so don't let it slip away. Call today!!!

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.
