First let me say that this is not my car. I am auctioning this 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Eight Series Convertible Coupe for an individual who deals in classic and muscle cars. The car is located in New Hampshire. If you would like or need more information please call Roland at 603-361-3693 and he will be more than happy to answer your questions. As to myself. I am just a (65) year old kid that loves muscle/classic cars. For my work. I recently retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and have worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also. please check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1. 09) transactions. Many of those have been muscle cars which I have sold to individuals all over the country as well as Canada. England. France. Switzerland and Australia. For 1950. Ford worked out many of the noise and handling issues found in the first-year. 1949 cars. Trims were renamed Deluxe and Custom Deluxe. The club coupe was dropped from the Deluxe series. and the convertible was now offered only in V-8 Custom Deluxe. New to the lineup was the Crestliner. a Custom Deluxe Tudor that added special elements above and beyond the regular model. including two-tone paint and a unique canvas-covered roof. This first new batch of postwar cars. known as “shoebox Fords. did an excellent job to keep the company at the top of the sales charts alongside Chevrolet. and today remain iconic classics. Memory lane. here we come! This handsome looking 1950 Custom convertible exudes class with lots of eye appeal. Getting behind the wheel of this beauty is like putting on a piece of jewelry. This rare example has just been completely restored in the past (2) years. All original body panels with no rust which negated the need for a frame-off restoration hence the frame up renewal. Furthermore. the flathead V8 engine runs smooth and the overdrive works nicely.
