This is no ordinary 1949 Ford. No, this particular 1949 Ford Custom has been extensively resto-modded into what you see here. It sits meaner, has much more power than it left the factory with, and even includes some nice creature comforts. If you choose to buy this car, you're getting a one-of-a-kind machine that's done just 1,000 miles since it was rejuvenated. Can you handle it? Only one way to find out.
Wearing a dark navy blue suit, this 1949 Ford Custom maintains its classic body lines but adds several modern enhancements. Let's focus our attention on the Budnik Bullitt wheels. These wear larger tires at the rear to help put down the monster engine's power and torque to the road. Then, there's new stainless steel trim and a custom one-piece windshield. This is important because the 1949 Ford originally came with a split windshield, bisected by a thin chrome strip. The headlights and taillights have been Frenched, too. Finally, before we step aboard this special machine, we must tell you that the doors and trunk are electric for that added touch of convenience that was never envisioned way back in 1949. Inside, there's a custom interior in dark navy blue with comfortable leather seats for four adults. The driver faces a custom dashboard that maintains some original 1949 elements with modern reincarnations. We see elements such as low-back front seats, classic instruments, and a center console-mounted tachometer, which constitute the rebuilt instrument cluster pack. There's also a white cueball-style gear knob and a control panel for the Vintage Air ventilation system. This car should have air conditioning because of the Vintage Air system, but we've not been explicitly informed of it, so we can't be sure.
The engine of this 1949 Ford Custom isn't its typical factory in-line six. No, it's a monster 540ci V8 that's been further massaged by a blower, also known as a supercharger. The engine gets a host of mods, including hydraulic roller cams, MSD ignition, a machined billet air breather, classic chambered mufflers, and a 3-inch exhaust. A 5-speed manual transmission drives the rear wheels via a 9-inch Ford rear end with Positrac. Meanwhile, power steering and power brakes have been added to ease the driving experience. A custom 32-gallon gas tank ensures that you can cover great distances, too.

In the automotive landscape of today, Ford models boast distinct names like Mustang, Bronco, Explorer, and Maverick, making them easily recognizable. However, this wasn't always the case. Consider the 1951 Ford Custom Deluxe 4-Door Sedan, a fine example hailing from the 1949 Ford series, which succeeded the 1941 Ford, itself following the 1937 Ford. This sedan, part of the upscale Custom lineup, represents an era when cars were distinguished by series rather than individual names. With 87,000 miles on the odometer and thoughtful updates, it promises a prolonged journey of enjoyment.
When Ford debuted their 1949 line-up of cars, it signaled a new era for the company. The 1949 Ford was the first line-up since the 1941 Ford that was somewhat muted due to being conceived in the middle of World War II. Alas, the 1949 Ford line-up would last just three model years before being replaced by the 1952 Ford line-up. During its short life, the car was produced in Australia and Malaysia as well as at no less than ten United States assembly plants. Up for sale, today is a 1951 Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible that's reportedly undergone a rotisserie restoration approximately ten to fifteen years ago. What's a rotisserie restoration? Well, it's a restoration that focuses on renewing and refreshing nearly every aspect of the car. Think about it like a rotisserie chicken that gets evenly cooked on all sides, and you get the picture. Now that we've set the stage let's delve a little deeper into why this car is worthy of your consideration. We're also told that the original owner's manual and color sheet are included in the sale.
Named after Henry Ford’s sprawling estate in Dearborn, Michigan, the Fairlane was Ford’s full-size car between 1955 and 1970. The name would see some use in markets outside America as well, notably Australia, later on. The Fairlane represented the flagship Ford automobile that a buyer could purchase and came with all the expected trimmings and comforts. It was made in a wide array of body styles, including a convertible aptly called the Sunliner. If you’re searching for a first-generation Fairlane, we’ve got this 28,713-mile 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner available right now. It’s a great classic that will only appreciate in value as time goes by.
Ford’s Model A was the successor of the wildly popular Model T. Made for just four short years, the Model A was equally a wild success as its predecessor. In 1930, sales hit the three million mark, with Ford offering a variety of body styles and colors to eager buyers. This particular 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Coupe Restomod is of the two-door variant, and has undergone a comprehensive build. With a mere 1,200 miles since then, it’s a head-turner, a hot rod, a restomod, and one fine car to own and drive.
Colloquially known as the “Tin Lizzie”, the Ford Model T was the world’s first mass-produced, affordable automobile. This was the vehicle that made travel by car available to middle-class Americans. It was produced through an assembly line instead of individual handcrafting, which brought the price down from $780 in 1910 to $290 in 1924. Adjusted for inflation, it’s still an impressive $5000 in modern-day money. Of course, you don't get air conditioning or an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, but for an almost 100-year-old car, the Ford Model T was truly a bargain for its time. Rightfully, the Model T was also named the most influential car of the 20th century and was also the most-sold car in history till 1972 before being surpassed by the Volkswagen Beetle. This particular coupe model has been restored from the ground up and presents you with an opportunity to own one of the most iconic cars in human history for sale in Chesterfield, Virginia.
