1951 Ford Custom

Known as the shoebox Ford, this was Dearborn's first new model after World War II. This Ford was a very capable car, particularly when equipped with a V-8 engine and automatic transmission like the car pictured. The shoebox was made 1949-51. The '49 and '50 had the famous bullet nose, so the '51 is less popular as a collector car. It looks like very little has been done to this car in the 70 years since it was built.
