1951 FORD LARGLY ORIGINAL CONVERTIBLE

Description

THIS IS A V8 CLUB ROUGE AWARD WINNER FOR ORIGINALITY CAR. IT HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION FOR OVER 27 YRS. IT IS A GREAT RUNNING CAR THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ON A TRAILER. IT HAS 57,000 MILES AND COMES WITH THE LICENSE PLATE AWARD BADGE FOR ORIGINAL DRIVE TRAIN AND INTERIOR. IT"SITS UP" REALLY WELL AND FASCINATES ANY TRUE CAR COLLECTOR BECAUSE IT COMES WITH THE IDENTITY OF THE ORIGINAL OWNERS, THEIR CITY AND DEALER WHO SOLD THE CAR IN JUNE OF 1951. IT HAS THE CORRECT THREE RIB SKIRTS, RARE CORRECT FACTORY FULL WHEEL COVERS THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE CAR SINCE NEW. IT HAS STAINLESS ROCKER MOLDINGS, ORIGINAL 3 STAR STAINLESS FENDER SHEILDS AND THE CORRECT THREE RING OUTSIDE MIRRORS. EVEN THE CORRECT ORIGINAL RADIO ANTENNA. IT IS BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY 1951 FORD CONVERTIBLE WITH THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR.LEFT IN THE WORLD. EVEN THE FRONT FLOOR MAT IS THE ORIGINAlLRUBBER. THE DASH IS A BEAUTIFUL RED AND ORIGINAL WITH NO FADING SUGGESTING THAT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT
THE HYDROLIC ELECTRIC TOP WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD, SLOW BUT SURE. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS ORIGINAL AND IT APPEARS AS IF THE ENGINE HAS NEVER BEEN APART. THE NAME OF THE BODY PAINT COLOR IS SCRIBBLED WITH A GREASE PEN AND BARELY VISIBLE ON THE COWL WHERE IT WAS PLACED BY THE ASSEMBLY LINE SUPERVISOR TO ASSURE THAT THE FIREWALL WAS PAINTED THE CORRECT COLOR BEFORE THE CAR WENT DOWN THE LINE. I NEVER NOTICED IT UNTIL A NICE RETIRED GUY AT A DEARBORN MICH. CAR SHOW WAS ADMIRING THE CAR AND TOLD ME HE HAD WORKED ON THE FORD LINE AND POINTED IT OUT AND EXPLAINED WHAT IT WAS.
THE CROME HAS BEEN RE -DONE AND LOOKS LKE NEW
THIS CAR LOOKS JUST LIKE A CAR YOU WOULD HAVE PURCHASED ON SOMEONES TREE LAWN IN THE FIFTIES OR SIXTIES
IT IS A LEGITIMATE COLLECTABLE WHICH YOU CAN DRIVE ANYWHERE. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR TO CAR SHOWS 500 - 600 MILES AWAY AND IT NEVER OVERHEATED OR VAPER LOCKED OR GAVE ME ANY TROUBLE IN FACT, THE LONGER IT RAN THE SMOOTHER IT SEEMED TO RUN
