Ford 1949 - 50 - 51 (shoebox) custom & mild custom galerie

Welcome to "old-school" cool with this highly customized 1951 Ford!

This is an older restoration and is being sold as-is with no warranty. This is a used classic car with some minor imperfections that the buyer must acknowledge and accept before bidding. It is an excellent cruiser and still shows very well.

This vehicle is from my father's estate and there is little known about it's history other than it is a beautiful and unique custom. It was driven very little and was mostly in storage since until he passed-away suddenly in 2013.
