1950 Ford Custom Deluxe coupe Restomod Small block Chevy motor 3722 Miles
This handsome 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe coupe is exactly what you're looking for when your preference is for a great custom car with an all-around appeal. After all, sleek paint, an A/C interior, small block V8 power, an upgraded suspension, and an overdrive transmission gives this classic the kind of features you'd want in a modern car. Everyone loves the sleek look of Ford's first post-war design. It was fairly groundbreaking when it first appeared, which is why it became the darling of the custom car crowds. This legacy is seen on classic-style additions like the spotlights, side window overhangs, blue-dot tail lights, and a windshield sunshade. But these Custom Deluxe coupes were already impressive even before you added the extra style. They came from day one with cool details like the delicate hood ornament, whitewall tires, and rear fender skirts. All of this style is why this one looks terrific in a shade of orange borrowed from a Harley-Davidson Road King. This was done in 2015 and there's less than 3,800 miles on the restoration, so it continues to have a solid shine today. And speaking of shine, like any good 1950s car there's plenty of chrome on the bumpers and on the highly stylized grille. In the middle of that bullet nose there's an "8" just so everyone knew back then that you were piloting the big motor, and today that holds even truer (more on that in a moment.) There's been a lot of work inside to give this classic Ford plenty of modern and premium touches without jeopardizing the period-correct appearance. For example, it still retains the correct split-folding bench up front, but now you have a tasteful cream with thoughtful orange piping that matches the exterior and dash paint. The door panels and trunk were also done to match. The dash keeps the classic style we love, but now it has a Dakota Digital VHX readout package that knows how to keep you fully informed. More well-integrated upgrades include modern R134a air conditioning, bronze-tinted windows, and a tilt steering column. These are the kind of welcomed features that give this classic a real sense of modern comfort. While flathead V8 power was great to have back in the day, we now know some more potent powerhouses that will fit. So this now has a 305 cubic-inch Chevy V8 that is the shining heart in the middle of the dark and tidy engine bay. It has been built right with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and a dual exhaust with sweet-sounding Flowmaster mufflers.
