Description
Ford Custom 2 Door Club Coupe This CLASSIC ANTIQUE vehicle was purchased by the current owner about 20 years ago, and is being sold as part of the owner’s estate. The car was the owner's pride and joy and was meticulously maintained. The actual mileage is unknown, but it underwent a total restoration before this owner purchased the vehicle.
The vehicle has been stored indoors, and started regularly. The vehicle was converted to a 12 Volt electrical system by a previous owner. The gauges, except for the speedometer, do not work due to the voltage difference.
The engine is a 239 CID Flathead V8 developing 100 HP with a single 2 barrel carburetor. The engine starts and runs very smoothly. The engine and compartment are nicely detailed with the factory air cleaner.
The transmission is a 3 speed manual with overdrive, so it travels nicely at highway speeds. The chassis is in excellent condition. Floor pans are painted body color, and very solid. There is no rust on the undercarriage.
Tires are new Uniroyal Tiger Paw blackwalls, size P205/75 R15, mounted on factory rims painted red, with Ford center hub caps and chrome trim beauty rims. 4 wheel drum brakes are featured. The interior upholstery is in like new condition with rubber floor mats. The dash and door panels are gray with an off white headliner, all in excellent condition.
Chrome handles, knobs, Steering Wheel and trim is all excellent. A heater, signal lights and a spotlight are also featured. A push button factory AM radio and Clock are also installed. The exterior paint is virtually flawless.
This club coupe has deluxe features including chrome trim around all the glass, sun visor, front grill guard and rear bumper guard protecting the spare tire continental kit. Spare tire cover has a chrome outer cover and chrome hubcap. All the lights and lenses are excellent and a third brake light is mounted behind the rear glass.
Stainless body side molding and rear fender skirts are the final finishing touches.

Ford Custom / Custom Deluxe Buyer's Guide (1949–1956)
The 1949 Ford was a genuine revolution. After years of wartime design freezes and prewar styling, Ford unveiled a completely new low, wide, integrated body that made every competitor look old overnight. The Custom Deluxe was the top trim of that generation — the car that most buyers stretched to afford. What I appreciate about these cars is that they're still findable at prices that make sense. You can buy a good driver-quality 1950 or 1951 Ford for what you'd spend on a mediocre late-model used car, and it'll be worth every bit of that and more in ten years.
