Gents, 1st timer here and thought I would share a little barn find that I ran across. 1950 ford custom all original (new paint within last 10 years) flat head 8, 3 on the tree with over drive. Older woman gave me a smokin deal I couldnt pass up on. Took it on its first shakedown run two days ago...runs like a sewing machine. Car was owned by a older gentleman that ran his own trucking outfit...I met him years ago and found this gem sitting in the shadows on the loading dock. Unfortunately the old timer passed away, but his wife had my number and got intouch....the rest is history.
haha...yea I took those about 3 weeks ago...it is now washed (looks gorgeous) and I also put some of the front grille and headlights on. I forgot to add that all the chrome/metal/bumpers came with the car in several large boxes. I plan on keeping it as it.....maybe dropping it a few inches .
good eye on the flag! I actually picked that out of a garbage can someone had thrown away..unbelievable what people will toss...it was still attached to the wooden post.....I have always dreamed of a barn find but never though it would actually happen...now if I can just find a nice panhead I will be set...
Incredibly jealous I've been looking for a 1950 for a while now that's original Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
