Stk 2387 1950 Ford Custom Business Coupe Ford introduced their post-war sedans in 1949. They were dubbed the 'shoebox' Fords and were the most modern looking vehicle produced in the era. Our 1950 Deluxe Business Coupe was well- restored to original appearance, but there are some serious upgrades to the drivetrain with less than 1000 miles since restoration. Starting with a straight and solid body, the owner applied a 2-stage Dupont Majestic Black finish in 2017. The exterior is accented... by 15" steel wheels, new 225x70 white-wall radials and period-correct 'dog-dish' hubcaps. All chrome pieces are excellent, including the signature 'bullet' grill. This Business Coupe is now powered by a rebuilt Ford 429ci (385 Series) big-block that is backed by a 3-speed C-6 automatic transmission with column shifter. Everything under the hood looks like a factory installation. The differential is a 9" Ford unit that holds sensible street gearing and the electrical system has been upgraded to an alternator-based 12-volt setup. Four-wheel manual hydraulic drum brakes provide stopping power. Finally, the interior was also restored to original appearance with Grey/Tan cloth and a classic dashboard that looks much like it did in 1950, including the AM radio - probably the factory piece. This is solid retro-classic that is ready for next summer's cruise-in. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS
