Walter was known for his streamline design concepts that would evolve into the elegant designs found on the Ford cars during the late 1940s. The designs of 1949 were carried over to the 1950 and 1951 models with minor updates. The Custom Deluxe V8 series came equipped with two sun visors, additional chrome accents, and armrests as standard equipment. From claimed '50 improvements for '50' in their advertising but most of these changes were minor.   Ford was on the ropes following World War II. Losses were mounting and Ford needed a winner. The new Ford cost the company $72 million in investment and 10 million man hours, but by the end of 1949 it had earned the company $177 million in profit and had outsold Chevrolet by 100,000 vehicles. A record 28.2 million people checked out the new Ford in dealer showrooms over the first three days of its announcement.   The Custom Deluxe series featured the top trim level for Ford, including chrome window trim, chrome horn ring, two sun visors, armrests on all doors and chrome strips along the lower half of the body. Base price of the Custom Deluxe convertible was $1,950 without options. Power was supplied by Ford's 239 cubic-inch V8 engine that produced 100 horsepower. A manual three-speed transmission was standard and overdrive was optional in 1949 until Ford began offering new designs. They featured simple lines that were clean and well integrated into the body. In the front was a dramatic and artful bullet nosed grille.       This car is better than money in any bank account and will appreciate in value as the years go on.  It would be very hard to find another car of this caliber for the price we are letting it go for, good luck bidding.  Be sure to see my other auctions, as he has another 1952 Ford for sale.   I try to be as detailed as I can with my descriptions, and in the end I want this to be a pleasant experience for both of us.  All personal, and third party inspections are welcome and encouraged at any time with prior appointments.   If you need your wife’s or girlfriend’s or mother’s permission to buy this car, get it before you bid.  If you are waiting on an inheritance or trying to sell another car to come up with the funds, do so before you bid.  If you want to inspect the car, do so before you bid.
