Popularly seen in the gangster films of the Fifties, the 1949 Ford range encompassed many variants, including two-door (Tudor) and four-door (Fordor) sedans, as well as a coupe (Club Coupe), hardtop, business coupe, station wagon, and even a coupe utility or pick-up. Ford went all-out with its full-size offering and assembled it in over ten plants across the USA alone. No surprise that many of these Fords became great restoration platforms, such as the case with this 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Coupe. It's as original as possible with a few tasteful enhancements, has undergone a full restoration, and is a numbers-matching car. Bearing 136,000 miles, it's led a fulfilling life but is far from done. Its next lucky owner will be treated to an American icon from the 50's.
Exterior and Interior
This 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Coupe looks stunning with its new red paint, new Coker whitewall tires, wire wheels, and chrome side plates, all giving it that Fifties Ford stance. We are told that the paint job is a custom affair, as evidenced by some dainty gold detailing on the hood. You'll find twin chromed tailpipes at the rear, adding to the car's allure and character. We are told that the car sports new headlights. Inside, you'll find a red and white-trimmed cabin with seating for two occupants on low-back seats. There's reportedly a retro-styled AM radio player that's also got AUX connectivity, and we spot some auxiliary gauges right beneath it in the center stack. There also appears to be a small screen installed, possibly for a back-up camera, and the passenger footwell hosts a very period fan.
Engine
This 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Coupe is powered by a 239ci Flathead V8 that drives the rear wheels via an upgraded T10 four-speed manual transmission. The current owner tells us that the car has received new brakes and has a 12-volt battery system. Further inspection of the engine bay reveals what appears to be a newer Henkyo carburetor, replaced yellow plug wires, and a new radiator cap.
Introduced as part of Ford’s all-new postwar lineup, the 1949 Ford Custom Club Coupe marked a dramatic departure from prewar automotive design and helped usher in a new era for the American automobile industry. With its integrated body styling, lower stance, and wider appearance, the 1949 Ford quickly became a sales success and remains one of the most recognizable Fords ever built. This example shows 10,785 miles and is finished in classic Black over a gray interior. Powered by Ford’s legendary Flathead V8 and equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission, this Custom Club Coupe offers an authentic driving experience while showcasing the timeless styling that made the 1949 Ford a landmark vehicle in automotive history.
Some builds are modified classics. Others are rolling works of art. This 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Club Coupe Street Rod unquestionably falls into the latter category. Built by Dakota Muscle Cars and recognized across some of the most respected stages in the street rod world, this award-winning custom is far more than a vintage Ford with a few tasteful upgrades. It is a fully realized high-end build that earned coverage in Street Rodder Magazine, landed in the Street Rodder Top 100 in 2011, and was a finalist for both Custom Rod of the Year and West Coast Custom of the Year. Showing approximately 2,515 miles since completion, this coupe represents the kind of professionally executed custom that would cost an extraordinary amount to replicate today. For buyers seeking craftsmanship, show pedigree, and genuine street usability, this Ford checks every box.
The 1930s were a time for growth, and it was growth that saw motoring take on new strides and slowly shape what machines are today. Fast forward to today, and the marketplace for these vintage American motors is ripe with the presence of custom builds taking what was iconic styling and adding a whole lot of modern appeal to it. Present today is an epic custom build and takes shape with this 1937 Ford Hot Rod. With a reported 13,000 miles on its clock, this custom 30s build is a real looker, a comfortable cruiser, and a real performance machine ready for action.
This 1930 Ford Model A Phaeton Hot Rod takes the simplicity of early Ford design and turns it into a traditional open-wheel hot rod with a strong period-inspired attitude. Finished in red over a tan interior, it is powered by a 350ci V8 topped with triple 2-barrel carburetors and paired with an automatic transmission. The chopped top has been removed, leaving a more open profile beneath the tan convertible soft top, while the exposed engine, staggered aftermarket wheels, dropped front axle, and side-exit exhaust give the car the unmistakable stance and mechanical presence enthusiasts expect from a classic hot rod build.
This 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop is the kind of early pony car that gets straight to the point: a compact coupe, a small-block Ford V8, a four-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive. Showing approximately 17,433 miles, this example is finished in Caspian Blue over a black reupholstered interior and keeps the classic Mustang recipe intact while adding just enough personalization to make it feel more driver-focused. The 289ci V8, Hurst shifter, manual gearbox, and clean first-generation styling give it the sort of analog character that makes these cars so enjoyable even decades later.
This 1967 Ford Mustang GTA Restomod takes the classic first-generation Mustang formula and adds a serious catalog of modern performance and comfort upgrades. Showing approximately 301 miles, this example has received an extensive refresh centered around a 347ci Blueprint Engines stroker V8 rated at 440 horsepower, an AOD heavy-duty performance automatic, and a 3.55 Posi-Traction rear differential. Its mechanical upgrades are matched by a thoroughly updated cabin with Procar reclining seats, Dakota Digital instrumentation, Vintage Air, power windows, and a modernized audio system, making this a far more capable and usable take on the original GTA recipe.
