Harry's Thoughts

This is a very nice example that is sure to help make its new caretaker many happy memories!

THE ESSENTIALS

This is one of the nicest ’50 Custom Convertibles on the planet.  Look at the treasures of New Old Stock accessories on this gorgeous convertible.  This is a multiple award winner that you could drive anywhere and enjoy today!

This Ford was built new at the Long Beach, Ca Ford plant.  It was bought by the present owner/restorer, Bill Monteleone in 2004 from a gentleman in Reseda, Ca who had stored the car for over 20 years and had amassed a huge collection of rare NOS parts.  The NOS parts include accessories that one just never sees on a 1950 Ford.

Shortly after Bill bought the car he embarked on a complete body-on restoration to very high standards.  He was restoring it as a car that would be sure to win awards as well as perform well for tours.  And he achieved his objective!

It has been a consistent award winner.  Bill and his wife even drove it to St. George, Utah where they won a first place!

The engine was rebuilt by the Engine Service Center in Apple Valley, CA.  It was bored .30 over and has a 4″ Mercury crankshaft.  Only the addition of headers and minor cosmetic liberties make this restoration differ from stock.  The upholstery is rolled and pleated rather than the more subdued stock flat interior.

We love the look of the black vinyl accented by the red piping.  In addition, the black top having the red accent looks terrific and really sets it off well.

it would take years and cost in excess of $100,000 to restore a Custom Convertible to this level.  This was a rust-free California car that has a proven award winning restoration that was professionally done.

Interesting Fact: The Ford Custom was produced in three countries during 1949 to 1955, 1957 to 1959, and 1964 to 1981. It was featured in the famous film Psycho where it was removed from a swamp after being submerged.   As for the car itself, the Ford Custom was a part of the completely new redesigns that Ford released following World War II. Standard models of the Ford Custom used a small-block V8 engine that allowed for 351 horsepower, but law enforcement was able to use a more powerful V8 engine that allowed the Custom to utilize 425 horsepower. All in all, approximately 7,850,000 Fords were sold during the course of production which makes this the 10th best-selling automobile platform in history. The Ford Custom is an iconic and powerful car that has been trusted for many years. Its popular reputation and appearance in mainstream media still fuel its popularity today as one of the most desired cars for collectors!
