Beautiful and Fast 1950 Ford Shoebox...ok, maybe not!!!

[@EYE_SPIDER]

That’s a nice looking Shoebox!!!

[@stantongibbs9285]

Can't believe anyone thinks shoebox Fords are ugly. One of the most popular cars ever in the '50s & '60s.

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Stanton Gibbs truthfully I was never a fan but as with so many other vehicles things changed and now I love it even if it is rusty and rough lol

[@petercarey9771]

It's not always about how fast you get from point A to point B, it's how you look and feel getting there. ;-) Enjoy.

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Peter Carey very well said my friend!!

[@jocko8888]

My older brothers first car was a '49 Ford. Bought in '58 for $25, I helped him work on it taking parts from three cars and also rebuilding the flat head V-8. I learned to drive with it in '61. Loved that beast. Almost the same color and in California too.

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

That's really cool! I sold mine to a good friend who has been making improvements on it. I'm glad it went to a good home

[@martinneps9387]

You have a nice toybox you have some nice toys do shoe Box is the same thing as A business coupe and I love that year my father had one years ago I would love to have some like that good luck with it in like I said you have a lot of nice toys in your toybox

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Thank you very much! The shoebox is actually for sale... my buddy bought it and has made a few mechanical improvements but now wants to sell it

[@oldtimesmatthew]

The great thing about the 85 and 100hp flatty v8s, is that it is so easy to hop them up to some nice power. Set of offy heads, dual carb high flow intake with some good carbs, some lake pipes, and a 3/4 race cam. 150hp+ easy, and you'll get much better response from the motor. Best of all, it's all period modifications. Enjoy that car man! I cruise around in a 1926 Model T, so I know all about.the slow ride 😀

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Sometimes slow is better anyway. Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍

[@narrowboatingourlifeinthes5950]

Just about to buy a 1950 shoebox Kustom. Great song who performs the vocals. 😊👍

[@christiandubordvideo]

Love the video, love the car! You have a particular way to describe it, it makes you like it more! Good job!

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Thank you!!

[@eduardoledezma3236]

My very first car was a 1950 ford. awesome tank.

[@haroldshirleymundle6553]

I own a 54 Meteor ( Canadian Ford ) 4 door sedan , Model Special Niagara , very good condition , I ‘m 77 years old & I just love my old car , hopefully I will own this car for a few years yet

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

I hope you get to enjoy it for many years to come

[@dannywilsher4165]

Cool car Mike. My Dad was driving a black 49 Ford when he and my mother met. I was imagining him driving that car when you were at the wheel. And what it would have been like way back when!!!

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Danny Wilsher that is an awesome story, I'm glad it it invoked a good memoru... that's what this Jonny is all about

[@scottschmittmusic]

Cool... I saw one for sale with the v8 I have a 53 ford wagon im selling was thinking about gettin one of these

[@talesofanasphaltjockey]

Love the car but can't get on board with your "face only a mother could love" assessment... the front end of those 49-50 Fords has to be one of the coolest looks around.

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

I agree, they do have a beautiful design

[@daubie3]

Nice 50... I had a 50 a few years ago and kinda got on the kick to get another one for all the same reasons you stated. So a couple weeks ago I bought a 51 Victoria that was restored about 5 years ago. Its a lot nicer car than I was looking for but that's never a bad thing.

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Definitely never a bad thing. Enjoy your car and thank you for watching!

[@dannyc.jewell8788]

Got a Thunder Road thing the movie, all the things he said were true, but in the movie it was a fast moonshine hauler

[@user-qt5eh9wb7g]

When my lake pipes pull in and I park my shoebox, someone always asks 'is it fast?', and I always answer laughing, "NO"! Lol. Just sounds like it...

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

LOL

[@jocko8888]

Just saw the '56 Chevy later in the video. I've owned three of those and wish I had any one of them today. My last one was completely Orange in color which was great as I went to Orange High in the city of Orange in the county of Orange, Ca. Class of '65. Go Panthers.

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

That really is awesome. You should pick up another and paint it orange again, would be cool!

[@reddxb1504]

Nice song!

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

James Redd thank you!!

[@ZEVONLIN]

I can't get on board with that gremlin! but this car is cool for sure!

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Pete McCarthy thank you. Yes I never had any aspirations of owning a gremlin but the car is special to my wife and truthfully it has grown on me

[@tobiasvetter5912]

Great looking car, nice video, cool music - please keep it up that way! Cheers from Germany! Cars With Character !

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Tobias Vetter thank you so much and cheers right back at ya

[@dansager1608]

Dang you looked like my dad in the 60's......EXCEPT the smokes would have been rolled up in his sleeve and he'd a inhaled.. ha ha

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Dan Sager I thought about doing the smokes in the sleeves but buying a pack would have been a waste of money and smokes...ya not a smoker lol

[@calvinh.8882]

You should have done a pit maneuver on that little s*** box as it came by.. lol..

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Calvin H. No kidding huh, I'd have barely felt the bump

[@jamaya1315]

I just bought this car in Roseville 👌🏻👌🏻

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Congrats! I hope you enjoy it 👍👍

[@rhsxo]

Enjoy the LED gauge cluster lights!

[@kevinreed6383]

Hey Mike, Great looking shoebox. Mines in about the same shape and don’t plan to change it but have the flat 6. Is that dropped 3” , I like that ride height

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

Thanks, ya I think around 3 inches...it was like that when I got it. I actually sold the car to a good friend of mine and the car is being well taken care of

[@rhsxo]

I agree with Kevin, that is a great looking car. Mine is in the same condition as your car too. Wait a minute....it’s the same car!

[@monarch1957]

I had a 50 Meteor with a flathead V8 andit would outrun all the modern cars going up a steep hill on the highway.

[@ninja63639]

What is the suspension setup on this? I just picked up a '49 club coupe and its riding sky high

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

I don't remember much about it truthfully. It was slammed down pretty good and actually rode pretty well. Sold it a few tears back and it has went thru at least a couple owners since. Congrats on your purchase!

[@KairoSage]

This thing is so sick, you still own it, whats the price on something like this?

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]

I sold it to a buddy who has since sold it to someone else. I sold it for 8k

[@KairoSage]

Extreme Automotive Addiction sweet. do you have anything else for sale currently?

[@ExtremeAutomotiveAddiction]
