Hemmings Find of the Day – 1951 Ford Deluxe

Published by Mike on October 2, 2011

It’s hard to argue with a shoebox Ford. Sure, they’re not all that flashy in normal trim – which is most likely why we see this 1951 Ford Deluxe club coupe for sale on Hemmings.com fitted with whitewalls and painted red – but that’s the subtle charm of the shoebox. With or without the dress-up, it’s still a solid car with a design that doesn’t fail. From the seller’s description:

California car, solid and rust free. Original engine with S-10 5 speed, Offy heads,4 barrel intake, Fenton dual exhausts, Pertronic ignition , and alternator. Thorough frame on restoration including many NOS and upgraded parts. New instruments, wiring, interior and 12 volt electrics.
