The car’s windows, including its split windshield, are clear and crack-free while its lights are haze-free and intact, including the driver and passenger spotlights. Complementing the exterior finish is a new black, cloth soft-top that has a glass rear window.
This convertible rides on wide whitewall tires, size G78-15, surrounding factory wheel covers. Wheels and tires look very good overall. The car’s bodywork is straight and solid, the bumpers fit tightly to the body, the engine bay is very tidy and the battery looks new.
Underhood is Ford’s 239 CID Flathead V-8 with a two-barrel carburetor and breathing through dual exhausts.
Inside, the car’s original red and black interior, (code G) complements the exterior handsomely. The front and rear bench seats are in overall excellent order, as is the black carpeting underfoot. The original two-spoke steering wheel is present and is in satisfactory shape while the red and black inner door panels and red and silver metal instrument panel are in overall excellent shape. The gearshift lever is in good order. Rounding out the interior is a factory AM radio.
All 1951 Fords sported a new €œdual-bullet€ grille and heavy chrome bumpers. The taillight lenses were slightly revamped and there was a reshaped license plate cover. Inside, a completely different instrument panel was used that grouped all gauges in front of the driver.

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
