Outside of 1949 quality control issues, it is easy to see why the 49-51 Fords turned FoMoCo around financially. The 50 Club coupe is probably the best looking car of the whole group not being out done by the convertibles and the 51 Victoria hardtop. The fantastic style of this car along with the great flathead V8 continues to make this still a very desirable car to own (still on my personal list). Looks like a 50-51 Nash Rambler in the garage (a future my car story???). Thanks to the owner and to Lou for bringing us another fantastic car.

Lou, my first registered car was a '51 Ford Custom coupe. Flathead V8 engine with a 3 speed OD manual transmission. I upgraded the engine with a high-performance cam, Offenhauser cylinder heads and tri-power intake manifold with three Rochester carbs. Car was black with red/white interior. Later, I put an Oldsmobile J2 engine and Oldsmobile A/T in the car and changed the car to a 12v electrical system. The car has had two owners since I sold it, but it still exists and still looks good.

What a cool piece of American history. Quick anecdote; In the summer of 1996 or 1997 I spent the summer doing some rehab work on my dads friends small farm. We needed to cut down some small trees to build some barbed wire fence and he broke out an old Sears gas powered chainsaw that we dated to sometime in the sixties(it was turquoise and white). That son of bitch chainsaw ran like pissed off mountain lion and would zap through those trees like a pair of side cutters through zip ties. The funniest part was my dads friend said that old Sears chainsaw sounded like a Ford flathead V8 and that we should probably be running 30 weight oil in it. If I remember correctly I think he said he hadn’t started the tool in ten plus years before that summer but it started right up with a little oil and gas. I guess that was before ethanol so a small engine could sit for years without the carburetor being fouled.

As always with Dennis, a perfect example with "zero excuses" as they say. The front end is so iconic and truly a flawless design. An interesting thing is that the designers were refining the design using the sedan body. Typically, it was the coupe body. If you look at a side view you'll notice that the coupe design, as beautiful as it is, is a tad "quirky", and the sedan body is more proportionate. Of course the convertible is the topper - when is it not?! LOL

This car certainly looks loved. The aero-car door emblem you pointed out is interesting. I never knew about that. I also didn't know about the fancy interior lights on the B-Pillars. They look very deluxe. Something else new to me is seeing that Ford used a binnacle for all the gauges. And it's much nicer than the binnacle VW had used for years. How many heater cores does this car have? I'm counting four connectors at the firewall. The badge on the heater under the dashboard says Magic Air.

What a car, it features in Driver 2s cutscenes. That bullet on the grill, is it the horn? And why is it called Custom, was it meant for Custom builds?
@loucostabile2 жыл бұрын
Hi FairRodTheCapacitor, Thanks for sharing. I don't think the bullet is the horn. Custom as I understand is the upgrade trim package. If a Viewer has more knowledge, feel free to share, Lou

Did you notice the smoke from the tail pipes? One guy told me you could always tell a Ford was coming your way by the blue smoke. This was because they were valve in block. If they didn’t smoke you better shut it off and check the oil!

I never understood why these early model fords were called the shoebox when in later years all cars were just one big square.

Hi Josh, That is interesting. I'm not sure why called "shoebox" at that time. Lou

Good news! Gerry Hamm just posted "known as a shoe box Ford because it was Fords first real upgrade after WWII. A more modern squared off,shoe box, look. No giant pontoon fenders on these Fords."
