Fords of the 1950's

[@normansilver905]

My absolute favorite is the '56 Ford Crown Victoria. It is still a true classic to me.

[@janetyurkin822]

What a great video! Loved how you show cased each year. I grew up in the 50’s. The 50’s were the most stylish era of car designs. 👍👍👏👏

[@keithoneil6711]

Very beautiful amazing perfect old cars thanks friend have a very nice day

[@rmo4222]

Had 53 custom, 57 custom 300, 66 fairlane GT, 68 galaxies, 71 Torino. All dependable and easy to work on.

[@TRUTH-4U-NOW]

Dad was a Ford man, we had a 65 Custom, 71 Maverick, 72 Pinto (oops), 78 Granada, 78 Gran Torino, 88 Thunderbird

[@ruthbarron9775]

Cars really had CLASS back in the '50's as well as BEAUTIFUL Colors !!!

[@jimblue39]

My dad had a 1950 Ford 4 door sedan, what a great car. Good old flathead V8, loved that car. Dad shed a few tears when he had to part with it. My first car was a 1958 Ford. I remembering ordering some back up lights from J C Whitney, I was surprised when I opened the box to see two opaque lenses and a some wiring. It converted the two inboard brake lights 4:07 to back up lights! All kinds of people stopped me and asked where I got them!

[@josephjones9742]

SlimJim My frist car was a 1959 Ford Galaxie A big nice car.Ford stands for=Frist on race day.

[@stevedeleon8775]

1950's were not cars ...they were Rolling Pieces Of Art..

[@geoshero1]

Yes! Cars with personality and style.

[@fob1xxl]

GREAT THEME MUSIC to go along with this fun flashback! Good production ! Really enjoyed it !

[@paulwood9043]

The first car I had in my young days was 1957 ford in the year of 1965 and after that, later on, I had 1959 Meteor Montcalm Ford. They were great cars of the 1950's and 1960's

[@countalucard4226]

When I was a teen one of my friends bought a Plymouth from the late 50s for $125 that was in fantastic shape. It was huge inside. Six of us fit so easily. What a car.

[@geoshero1]

Sounds like fun!

[@daleandrews9356]

Man, back in those days, for an affordable car, Ford produced some of the best styling of ANY car! I just looooved the '49 - 52' Fords with their little "flatties". They were so cute! The '53 and '54's were cool too. Then came the '55 and '56's! Talk about STYLE! In my book, they had it all over Chevy for those years. Then the '57-'60 Fords, which were OK, but didn't hold a candle to the older models. I could go on, but the '61 was very decently styled, as was the '62. '63 was OK, but the '64 was a killer! That '64 Galaxie 500 XL styling was a show stopper, and with the 390 engine, it was the complete package! After 1964, I thought the full bodied Chevy's had the edge, and it stayed that way throughout the sixties. After the early '70' they started to look a lot alike and then federal fuel emission standards killed the horsepower from about '71 on and it was all over for awhile...

[@gregfoster4541]

My grandmother had the '54 Victoria sky blue and white,,cool car 😀 thanks for sharing Btw the music was perfect, started with I love Lucy, then,Leave it to Beaver, then my favorite, The Donna Reed show,,great video and as always "Howdy from Texas "!!

[@geoshero1]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bbmousedoowop]

Fantastic video. My parents bought me a 1954 Ford 4 door Customline when I graduated from high school in 1961. I couldn't wait to see the 54s as you cycled through the video. Also, a great use of Microsoft Movie Maker. I'll never understand why they disc⁷ontinued that program...

[@ivanleterror9158]

Cruised Van Nuys Blvd. in the 60s with a 1950, 2 door, Tangerine Orange with raised front suspension and cut our rear wheel wells with a set of M&H dragster slicks sticking 5 inches out side of the body. Also owned a plain 54 2dr, 57 Town & Country wagon, and a 53 wagon with the "woody" style trim....Also enjoyed the old TV music, thnx.

[@S955US84]

Every model year in the 50s was distinctive - you could readily tell a 57 from a 58. And the T-Birds 1955-1965 were the coolest cars ever. Often drove my uncle's 1965 - smooth, quiet and quick. It rode a little low so you had to be careful on driveway ramps.

[@jeffyork5766]

Yes!!! Love the music!!! Perfect for these fine Automobiles. I have to say my dream car is a 1958 Ranchero. Love the front ends. Thank you. This was really fun😄

[@maple1255]

Outstanding video, each year brought a new look, so innovative, when Ford and other car makers were not afraid to try something more creative.

[@eneidaparra3727]

Yo tuve un Ford de 1952 , y los Americanos, fabricaron un tesoro para mi. Uno de los mejores autos .

[@erichanson3961]

The 49-50 was really smooth and aero. The 39 had been amazingly aero too. By the 59 model, they pushed a lot more air and the Galaxie/Squarebird style roofline was a turbulence maker.

[@brianseymour1528]

1950 ford

[@charleslbarnesjr]

I've had my share of FORDS,a 67 Fairlane 500 GT,65 Galaxy 500, with the Thunderbird 352 v8,a 69 Galaxy 500 two door,a 70 Torino 500,351 Cleveland,all beautiful cars,and quite reliable! I've also a 65 Ford F100 pick up, manual steering, automatic! Good truck!

[@tieroneactual2228]

That was fun to watch & the music sure added to it! I remember the old series from 1987 “ Crime Story” with Dennis Farina, they had a few all black ‘59 Fairlanes & some ‘59-‘60 Fords made up like Chicago PD Cars. I think in the first series episode they even banged up a couple of the ‘59’s, apparently there were more around back then so it wasn’t a concern about getting some more if needed!

[@garyfaught3769]

I currently own a 1957 Ford Thunderbird, identical to the one pictured, with the exception that mine has Tru-spoke chromed rims. Her name , fittingly, is Destiny.

[@danbasta3677]

Ya know, i truly hate it when people make nasty jokes about Ford Cars and Trucks. I love Fords, especally of this time. They were beautiful cars, just as beautiful as Chevys. The one especally that got me is the 58 Custom 300, BEAUTIFUL car. Then there was the 49, 50 and 51 Ford cars there that also were really beautiful. Even the earlier Fords of the 1940's and 30's were beautiful to.

They should call it Ford fender skirts back in the 1950s. Fender skirts are popular on Ford cars the low priced field but it give it like a luxury car look, such as Cadillac, Lincoln, and Packard.

[@glennredwine289]

I think I remember seeing a lot of those 1952-54 Fords over at Lyons dragstrip in the late 1960's, hot rodded.

[@countalucard4226]

The 51 Crestliner was a real beauty.

[@johnhiram1207]

My 1st car was a 53 Maineline 4dr 6 cyl that was in 1963. Cost $50.00! My Dad always drove Country Squires with v8s.

[@edwardallan197]

Maybe it is because I saw so many of the other classic 50s cars. 50s Fords, especially the first two body styles, just do it for me!

[@garyb8186]

[@65marlin327]

Very nicely done, but for one error. The '58 T-bird shown is a '60. That was the only one with a grill bar. 58 and 59 had honeycomb and horizontal grill inserts.

[@danconner504]

My dream car is the 1952 Ford Victoria.

[@helpiamstuckonthismanshead3385]

Save up for it

[@jrider4]

In addition to Louis' catch of the mislabeled Country Sedan/Country Squire wagons, the Fordor at 2:19 is not a Mainline (cheapest trim level). It's a Crestline (top trim level), easily identified by the rear door trim: 3 chrome hash pieces at the bottom and the Ford crest next to the word "Crestline". Other giveaways that it's not a Mainline are chrome trim on the side, windshield & doors, most likely would have been a "6" not a V-8, among a couple of other chrome clues. Since that looks like a factory or advertising pic, if it were a Mainline it sure wouldn't be dressed up in white walls, full wheel covers and fender skirts! Regardless, nice pics!

[@MotorCityPaPa]

I've watched a lot of videos and this, my friend, is the BEST! ( Brother had a 53 Victoria, candy apple red with black leather interior/convertible top)♥

[@michelbeauloye4269]

I love their pun: Tudor for 2 doors and Fordoor for 4 doors. That was the greatest marketing idea!

[@daleandrews9356]

I had a '40 Tudor. Looked like a humpback turtle, but stylish. The forty Ford was certainly a pretty car and had it all over Chevy when it came to style and appeal. With that flathead V8 and "Smittie" mufflers, you had a CAR, especially the coupe.

[@tex148th]

My 1st was a 1950 Grey Ford that burned 1qt of oil per mile. Then got a 1955 Ford Two Tone Green Fairlane. Had two Paper Routes and sold Light Bulbs Door To Door.

[@buffdelcampo]

The red 1956 Ford station wagon and the red 1959 Ford station wagon in your video are 9-passenger Country Sedans, not Country Squires. The Country Squires of those years have fake wood attached to the sides.

[@frederickwise5238]

The red convertible w blk top at 1:08 is a 195-3- model. I owned two , liked em so well. In 1980 had my eye on a 54 Vicky Htp being restored by a H.S. shop class. Stk w/ovr. But my wife refused to learn stick! BUMMER. Got a resto 55 Chev. Bummer too. LOL

[@lawrencesmith.]

Yes. The red '52 is really a '53. Different style tailights. '52 had no chrome ring in center. A dead giveaway for REAL 50's Ford fans. Still, it's a beauty! '52 OR '53!

[@vladimirvolkhov6786]

Hello folks, I was wondering if somebody out there I might know the answer to this question, does anybody know how the undercarriages of these cars from the 1954-59 were painted? I know the frame was usually flat black, but was the underbelly body color or black primer as well? I know that body color overspray would sometimes get on the belly, but I'm pretty sure the car underneath wasn't painted correct? I build scale models, and I want to make sure I get it right. Thank you.

[@hotrodray9884]

Depends on which factory. Mostly red oxide primer. I have 2 identical cars that both came out of Kansas City plant 60 days apart. One black. One red oxide.

[@jerryeasoniii5915]

Beautiful cars. I love the "Shoebox Fords". Manufacturers have convinced Americans that they NEED a crossover, so now they are putting all of their resources into crossovers and SUVs and are making a great sedan a thing of the past. Why is it that a 2 door sedan used to be plenty of car for a family of 5 but now everyone thinks they need a Suburban. Heaven forbid that a kid have to crawl into the back seat. In the 50's there was 6 body styles from one car, I am sure they made a lot more money on those cars back then than they don't now.

[@MrGGPRI]

Back in the day, my buddy had a beautiful 2-tone green '53 Vickie HT with the standard overheating/boiling radiator flattie engine. We replaced it with a REAL V-8, a build Olds with a 4-speed Hydramatic; he then had a REAL car and as a "sleeper", surprised many factory "muscle cars".

[@louisbrizzolara7209]

Twice you misidentify County Sedan Wagons as County Squires. There were three Ford wagons the 2 and 4 door County Wagons. The County Sedan, which had the same 2 or 4 doors, and was in the Fairlane trim, and the County Squire with the faux wood trim. All came in 6 or 9 passenger seating.

[@Al-thecarhistorian]

Louis Brizzolara Actually, Ranch wagons were 2-door, 6 passenger Ford wagons. Country Sedans were 4-door 6 or 9 passenger Ford wagons. Country Squires were 4-door 9 passenger Ford wagons. Model year 1959 was the only exception. That model year there was a 4-door 6 passenger Ranch wagon. Also in 1959, The Country Sedan was available as a 2-door, 6 passenger Ford wagon. Don't forget the 1956 Parklane wagon (a Fairlane trimmed 2-door, 6 passenger wagon) and the 1957 and 1958 Del Rio (a Custom 300 level trimmed 2-door, 6 passenger wagon).
