1951 Ford Custom

From 1949 to 1951 the custom nameplate was Ford highest trim level. It was Fords first major re-design post WWII. The cars would later be called the shoebox Fords. The first postwar design beat out Chevrolet by 6-months and Plymouth by 9-months. Which in retrospect was a huge deal and would garner market superiority for quite some time. The design would be a slabsided ponton fender design. A couple design revision for 1951 which included the double bullet nose vs. the single but other than that not a ton of changes. This particular car is in absolute stunning restored condition from top to bottom. This is a non-numbers matching Mercury 256 cubic inch flathead mated to the original transmission. Since Fall of 2023 the car has had a full service along with new tires, exhaust, fuel system with electric pump and more. Full compression test that ranges between 115-120. The car starts, idles, sounds and goes down the road like it should with no known needs at this time. The paint, interior, engine, trunk are all very good and would make someone a turnkey show car.
