Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Club Coupe Street Rod is a masterclass in traditional custom car artistry blended with modern execution. Finished in stunning Glasurit Brandywine Copper Mica, the bodywork reflects countless hours of metalwork and design refinement. The chopped roofline dramatically alters the factory proportions for a sleeker, more sinister profile, while shaved trim and door handles, peaked fenders, hood, and roof, plus a fully smoothed body create a seamless custom aesthetic. Flush-mounted glass, including a one-piece windshield, modernizes the visual flow, while the 1954 Pontiac grille with custom surround adds a classic custom touch that feels entirely intentional rather than forced. Flipped bumpers complete the look, creating a cohesive street rod presence that feels timeless rather than trend-driven. The interior of this 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Club Coupe Street Rod brings the same level of craftsmanship inside, with a bespoke cabin executed by Recovery Room. The tan leather interior strikes an ideal balance between hot rod attitude and grand touring comfort, featuring power heated seats, power windows, and a thoughtfully integrated custom center console. The polished Flaming River steering column and Billet Specialties steering wheel add a premium machined aesthetic, while AutoMeter gauges keep the cockpit authentically performance-focused. A Kenwood stereo system and Vintage Air climate control make this classic genuinely comfortable for modern road use, proving this build was intended to be driven, not simply trailered between shows.
Engine
Under the hood sits a highly detailed 289 cubic-inch V8, presented in a meticulously smoothed engine bay that reflects the same obsessive craftsmanship seen throughout the rest of the build. Equipped with a 4-barrel carburetor, finned valve covers, a Cadillac air cleaner, ceramic-coated exhaust, and a Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine system, the engine bay delivers period-inspired hot rod style with thoughtful modern upgrades. Power is sent through a T10 4-speed manual transmission, preserving the analog driver engagement enthusiasts expect from a true street rod. Beneath the skin, this Ford benefits from serious chassis engineering including a Fatman Mustang II front clip, stainless steel control arms, RideTech ShockWave suspension, power steering, and hidden power brakes. Combined with the Walker radiator and electric cooling fan, this is a street rod engineered to perform as impressively on the road as it does under show lights.
