When Ford debuted their 1949 line-up of cars, it signaled a new era for the company. The 1949 Ford was the first line-up since the 1941 Ford that was somewhat muted due to being conceived in the middle of World War II. Alas, the 1949 Ford line-up would last just three model years before being replaced by the 1952 Ford line-up. During its short life, the car was produced in Australia and Malaysia as well as at no less than ten United States assembly plants. Up for sale, today is a 1951 Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible that's reportedly undergone a rotisserie restoration approximately ten to fifteen years ago. What's a rotisserie restoration? Well, it's a restoration that focuses on renewing and refreshing nearly every aspect of the car. Think about it like a rotisserie chicken that gets evenly cooked on all sides, and you get the picture. Now that we've set the stage let's delve a little deeper into why this car is worthy of your consideration. We're also told that the original owner's manual and color sheet are included in the sale.
This 1951 Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible was repainted in the shade of green that you see here during its rotisserie restoration. Looking suitably period, it's got a contrasting tan convertible top for weather protection that you can lower for glorious open-air cruising. You'll definitely turn heads as you cruise along in this Fifties time capsule, with its whitewall tires and ample chrome detailing. Inside, we find a silver dash and tan-brown seats, waiting to accept up to four adults for an unforgettable experience. The car is said to sport its original radio, and you can definitely see that everything looks the way it did in 1951. The trunk has also received restoration and hosts the spare wheel resting upon its rubber carpeting.
The engine of this 1951 Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible is said to have been rebuilt during the restoration, as has the 3-speed sliding-mesh manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. This car comes with the optional 239ci Flathead V8 that was rated for around 110hp and 194lb-ft. The current owner also tells us that the brake lines and cylinders are new items fitted in 2022. Despite the lack of power steering, you'll definitely cherish every drive in this car, particularly if it's a glorious weekend jaunt.

In the automotive landscape of today, Ford models boast distinct names like Mustang, Bronco, Explorer, and Maverick, making them easily recognizable. However, this wasn't always the case. Consider the 1951 Ford Custom Deluxe 4-Door Sedan, a fine example hailing from the 1949 Ford series, which succeeded the 1941 Ford, itself following the 1937 Ford. This sedan, part of the upscale Custom lineup, represents an era when cars were distinguished by series rather than individual names. With 87,000 miles on the odometer and thoughtful updates, it promises a prolonged journey of enjoyment.
Some classic cars aren't always for the faint of heart; exotic models require specialist attention, while others need a helping hand with parts. But that's not true of everything. Some classics don't dent your finances and, in rare cases, can even be used on a daily basis. Present today is one of those rare cases, and it takes shape with this lovely 1989 Ford F-150. This classic truck is an excellent example of Ford's legendary F series trucks and is reported to have seen a full restoration to ensure more time behind the wheel or serve as the centerpiece to your classic car collection.
The Ford Thunderbird has had many forms. Despite being a sporty-looking two-door convertible or coupe, the T-Bird has always focused on luxury and comfort, being described as a “personal luxury car.” Having graduated from the two-seater layout to more of a 2+2 configuration in the late 50s, the third-generation Thunderbird had to bring something new to the table. And that it did, with one of the most recognizable shapes of the Thunderbird’s entire production run. The third-generation Ford Thunderbird also introduced many new innovative features. In addition to luxuries such as power steering and power brakes, the Thunderbird introduced a novel steering wheel that could be swung to the side to aid driver egress and ingress. Our featured 1963 Ford Thunderbird has reportedly undergone a full restoration. While the mileage since the engine rebuild is unknown, the chassis boasts an original 73,000 miles. This classic Ford provides the perfect opportunity to experience one of the most iconic cars of the ’60s.
While all Mustangs are special, when it comes to this car, some are more special than others. The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Hennessey 800 is genuinely a different beast. While the original Mustang Mach One would have left the factory with 480 hp and 420 lb-ft, after it has been reworked by Hennessey, the car outputs a whopping 800 hp and 677 lb-ft of torque. Our featured example has a reported 7,282 miles on the clock and offers buyers a turnkey way to experience a lot of performance. Plus, the car’s authenticity is confirmed when you open the hood, where you’ll find a Serial-Numbered Engine Bay Plaque.
The '70s saw big changes for the American automotive industry; the oil crisis meant large gas guzzlers were out the door, and the American car buyer had to embrace the fuel-sipping performance showcased by imports. Prior to 1973, however, the world was filled with performance and sharp looks; today, it is an example of intense performance and good looks that stems from the golden era of muscle cars. Are you looking to get your hands on your very own example of unfiltered muscle? This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner could be the answer.
The Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is a timeless classic whose design lends itself towards some amazing restorations, rebuilds, and resto-mods. The Chevelle was conceived as Chevrolet’s midsized model, sitting above the Chevy II Nova, and below larger cars such as the Impala. The first-generation Chevelle sports clean lines and an elegant silhouette, with a large grille, plenty of chrome, and four headlamps up front. Based on the A-Body platform, the 1964–1967 generation of Chevelle was availble in a variety of configurations, including 2-door sedan, convertible, four-door sedan, coupe utility, and station wagon variations. Our featured car is a 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu, which features a new V8 engine and transmission, and well as many new cosmetic and mechanical parts to make this classic car look show-ready. The current owner reports that the car is offered with its original engine and steering column.
