SEEN NEAR VAUDREIUL QUEBEC.

The push button start was last used in the 50 Fords 51 and newer had key start. My dad had a green 49 Ford way back in the 50's.

the first car I drove, I was 11 in 1959, 3 speed on the column, had to look through the steering Wheel to see the road, good souvenirs

The flat head Ford V8 had a separate water pumps for each side of the engine which explains the need for four radiator hoses.

The 50 had grille extensions with the parking lights in them.

I got a 49 black flathead one. Some surface rust. Not bad for a first car eh?

[@keith4886]

A knock like that coming from an engine when it first starts up is not normal.

[@GeorgeGardinier]

oops you got one older than me, i remember one my father had

[@widowmaker4008]

Is this Ford still for sale? I got the cash right now and I can change the color too

[@64lebaron]

I think the grille fog light was an factory option. I've seen it on photos in taken in early fifties.

[@retroolschool]

Interesting item.

[@michaelbenardo5695]

I guess you are not familiar with older cars.
