1950 Ford Crestliner

1950 Ford Other Pickups Description

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer a handsome 1950 Ford Crestliner. Ford Motor Company designed one of the most recognizable American cars of all time. Often referred to as a "ShoeBox Ford," 1949-1951 Fords featured slab sides and prominent "bullet" nose. Several body styles were available including the Crestliner "Sport Sedan". These 2 door sedans featured two tone paint schemes which aimed at the Chevrolets of the time which often had a contrasting roof color. This particular Crestliner has a very sharp black and burgundy scheme which has a classic look. It sits on classic wide white wall tires with hub caps. Under the hood you'll find a 239 CID Flathead V8. Backing the V8 is a 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive. The transmission is shifted on the column which is a very enjoyable way to drive. It's tough to beat the way a car from the 1950s drives. With a large thin ringed steering wheel, 3 on the tree, and a nice soft ride, this baby is a dream to take down the road. Plenty of these cars have been street rodded and stuffed with Chevrolet engines, it's great to see a shoebox with the proper Flathead. You can see this classic 1950 Ford Crestliner in greater detail in our St. Louis showroom and at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. Please contact 618-271-3000 or stl@gatewayclassiccars.com with questions.
