This is a 1951 Ford Custom Convertible . We kept all of the good and got rid of all of the bad. The car had its original 225 flathead and 3 speed trans with O.D. rebuilt approximately 2000 miles ago. The troublesome positive ground 6 volt system was eliminated with a complete rewire and 12 volt alternator system. All the factory gauges work as they should . All interior and exterior lights work including turn signals and dual spot lights . Heater blower and dampers work as they should . The car runs drives stops very dependably . The new tan interior is a classy compliment to the bright red exterior. The convertible top is new and operates with a push of a button flawlessly . The day I took the photos was a bit to cold to drop the top for fear of damaging the canvas. The body and floors are all rust free and always have been . The only flaw present is on passengers side front bumper lower. See picture. The door hood and trunk lid are all better than factory gapped and shut tight with little effort and without rattles. The car is rolling on brand new Coker Classic wide white wall tires including the spare in the continental kit. This was was owned , built ,painted and wired by a man who has more than 60 years experience restoring and hot rodding cars . He has simply decided to pass this one on to a new owner .
