1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Club Coupe

This 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Club Coupe is a charming, well-kept example of the “Shoebox” Ford that helped define postwar American motoring. Its clean, slab-sided styling broke away from the prewar look and gave Ford a modern design that collectors still prize today. Power comes from the original 239 Flathead V8, rated at 100 horsepower and fed by a 2-barrel carburetor. A 3-speed manual shifts on the column for a true “three on the tree” experience. Restored more than 15 years ago, the paint and interior are still very presentable, and the underbody shows well. It also shows 78,000 believed original miles. Big whitewall tires, a factory AM radio, and a period-style windshield visor complete its nostalgic charm. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or searching for an authentic early-’50s cruiser, this Club Coupe invites you to enjoy Ford heritage from behind the wheel.
