John’s uncle bought this 1950 Ford convertible the Tuesday after Labor Day in 1950; the car having been manufactured on 28 April 1950. This car has only 31,000 original miles and it is original except for the new top, which of course is the original color! John bought it in 1961 and it was garaged on jack stands for about twenty years. The motor is a 100 bhp flathead V-8 with 239 cu in. The original 1950 Chicago vehicle sticker is still on the windshield.
To search, type a car name, show name, artist, song, etc.
