1951 Ford Custom Sedan 49 50 51 shoebox

Description

Original builder is offering this 1951 Ford Tudor Custom Sedan. From an intact Montana barn car, I created a traditional style, billet-free, all-Ford custom rod, with respect for its jet-age design enhanced by a mild chop and perfect stance. As a special value, I have all build documents, listing components so you’ll know what you have and the manufacturer. Awarded the Shoebox Pick at the 2003 Goodguys Great Northwest Nationals, the car is always appreciated at shows. Driven occasionally spring through fall, it has always been garaged. Other projects motivate sale.
