Regarded as a groundbreaking and iconic style when introduced as an all new model in 1949, This 1950 Ford was purchased in 1977 and completely restored during 2001 - 2002 by RM Restoration in Blenheim, Ontario
The restoration included complete disassembly, engine removal, cleaning the fuel tank, cooling system flush, a new water pump, new brakes, new interior and four coats of new paint. The bumpers and grille assembly were rechromed. The following parts were replaced: grille extensions L & R, parking lamp bezels, hood emblem assembly, door mirror, radio antenna, door handles, trunk hinges, tail light bezels, trunk emblem, hubcaps, tires, sill ¬¬¬plates, all rubber stripping and window seals. All stainless steel trim was polished. The steering wheel was refinished, and both under dash and underhood wiring harnesses were replaced. The engine bay was cleaned & restored, and the suspension degreased, The only thing that is not original is the exterior paint color, which is now cherry red. The radio is original and worked fine for many years, but appears to have a connection issue now.
The seller remembers that the author of the article written on this car (https://www.motortrend.com/features/1949-1951-ford/) asked what he liked best about the car. He replied, " It has always appealed to me because it is so much fun to drive something that is so unique. It's like going back in time.” He added, “My greatest thrill in owning and driving this car is that anyone over the age of 50 waves and sometimes whistles when they see the car drive by. For them and for me, it brings back so many memories.”
The odometer shows 96,426 miles and was approximately 96,000 when restored. Since then, it has been driven no more than 50-75 miles per year. The tires are new duplicates of the originals. Lap belts have been installed for the front and rear seats. Spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor, points were replaced in 2020 and the carburetor was rebuilt earlier. The battery is brand new (April, 2025). It starts and runs, and drives as it should.
Included are all the restoration records, a full car cover and a clear Michigan title. A proverbial time capsule, this is a virtually new 1950 Ford, ready for the season’s shows, cruises and Sunday drives.
