Outside of 1949 quality control issues, it is easy to see why the 49-51 Fords turned FoMoCo around financially. The 50 Club coupe is probably the best looking car of the whole group not being out done by the convertibles and the 51 Victoria hardtop. The fantastic style of this car along with the great flathead V8 continues to make this still a very desirable car to own (still on my personal list). Looks like a 50-51 Nash Rambler in the garage (a future my car story???). Thanks to the owner and to Lou for bringing us another fantastic car.

What a sweet little Ford! Love the sound of a flathead!

Nice feature Lou. The car is in remarkable condition. That flathead has a very distinguishable sound...

‘50 Fords are among the prettiest cars in American automotive history. Thanks Lou!

The flathead engines have such a distinct sound, they're lovely. Slow and little power, but lovely sounding. Nice job Lou!!

Being born in 1950, I'd love to own one of these. I remember them well from my childhood. Simple, uncluttered styling is wonderful 👍👍😊

Beautiful Ford..'49 & '50 Fords Also known as a shoe box Ford because it was Fords first real upgrade after WWII. A more modern squared off,shoe box, look. No giant pontoon fenders on these Fords.Thanks for posting. God's Blessings to you Lou!

Lou thanks for having Dennis on, he has become one of my favorite guests. He is very knowledgeable and has a great personality!

Another great video Lou. Beautiful color on this Ford. My grandparents had a 49 four door that was brown and a 51 2 door that was the same color as this car. Both had flatheads and 3 speed on the column. (Grandpa was a Ford guy and loved the Flathead V8 engines).

The only thing better than Dennis's toys are his stories and trivia. Thank you both for sharing! Wisconsin in the Fall is BEAUTIFUL!

Another Dennis Roxbury beauty for us to enjoy!! Love hearing the history on this one ........ "My dad sold these when I was a kid" ...... That says it all!! His love for cars definitely started at a very young age! When this new design came out in 1949....... it set the standard for 50's automotive design!! Thanks as always Lou for the entertainment!😉

What a nice car! The 49-51 Ford's had such cool styling, especially the coupe model like this one. Thank you Lou for another outstanding showing.

My dad had a '49 Ford. I remember bringing my baby sister home in it.

My kindergarten teacher in 1957, owned a similar 1950 Ford that was “black” in colour. That distinctive front grill helps to bring back that memory. Amazing condition for such an older classic. In fact, it looks like it just came off the Ford assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan! Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas Lou!

Should read: Nothing like a classic shoe box Ford nor sounds like a great old flat head Ford. Another great find Lou

Great to see Dennis and another of his gems this morning! Thanks Lou!

Beautiful car, first time I remember hearing a clock in a car, really neat. How I wish I could go back to those days. Good video Lou!

Thank you Dennis and Lou, that sharp 1950 Ford is the same age as me.

It is now my favorite car also. Thanks Lou

Beautiful '50 Ford Coupe, guys. Great paint, panel fit, just a well maintained jewel of a car from yesteryear. Thanks for vid Lou.

Love the 49-50 shoebox Ford, Thanks for sharing this Lou.

Another beauty, Lou. The styling was way ahead of the competition for 1950. I was never aware of the Club Coupe vs the Tudor Sedan before. You learn something new every day.

What a nice Ford! Dennis sure has a wonderful collection and is a wonderful caretaker. I agree with the other comments about the quality of the body and paint - it looks better than showroom fresh. Thanks for bringing this beauty to us Lou!

I was filling up the company pickup the other day, and a black 1950 Ford drove by. I love seeing classic cars actually out being driven!

Thanks so much Lou for posting this video! The ‘50 Ford is one of my all-time favorite cars. I have one just like the one you featured here except mine is Hawthorne Green. My car was purchased when I was 6 years old by my dear father. He handed it off to me when he passed. It has been in our family for about 56 years! This is the best video I’ve seen on KZfaq on the 50 Ford! Thanks again!

just beautiful, i have no words... beautiful. Thank you for showing it

Another fabulous Ford from Mr. Roxworthy! Pristine as always. I love that it's a coupe and its unique exterior color, too. Thanks, Lou!

Man, Dennis always has the nicest cars!!! I have to say that I have never really liked those Fords all that much, but ya know what? I absolutely Love, Love, Love this car!!! That is such a pretty color and it just has that perfect 50's boulevard cruiser look and dang it sounds awesome!!!! Very nice!!!

You could almost say this body style saved Ford back in the day.. A classic body style!!

Lou, my first registered car was a '51 Ford Custom coupe. Flathead V8 engine with a 3 speed OD manual transmission. I upgraded the engine with a high-performance cam, Offenhauser cylinder heads and tri-power intake manifold with three Rochester carbs. Car was black with red/white interior. Later, I put an Oldsmobile J2 engine and Oldsmobile A/T in the car and changed the car to a 12v electrical system. The car has had two owners since I sold it, but it still exists and still looks good.

THE TAILIGHTS ARE SO LOW IN BRIGHTNESS, YOU CAN TAKE THEM APART AND PUT SOME ALUMINUM FOIL AROUND THE BULB AND IT MAKES IT MUCH BRIGHTER, I TRIED IT MANY YRS AGO AND IT REALLY WORKS, Lou love all your videos you really delve into the whole car, keep up the great work, I have always loved the shoebox fords.

My first car back in 65

Wow, this is such a sleek looking old Ford. I have a steel die cast model of this car. My brother had a 54, but I think this body style was the best ever. Car looks like it would ride really good. Nice find there Lou.

Holy Ford Batman this is a Mans dream a 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe

A truly gorgeous car ❤️ what a joy to watch your amazing video. 👍 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🙏

Hi Lou,You really come across with some of the best finds in cars,keep more videos coming,there’s always another nice car to show, and you do come up with them,many thanks,from Denny

I am building a model of a 50 Convertible. Thank you for some reference material. I love the "Shoebox" Ford.

Hi Lou, It’s always fun seeing Dennis’ collection. Thanks for sharing. 😄😉

Seems like a smooth ride.

Those dualies do wonders for the sounds!!

Loved the look of this one. Ford hit the nail on the head with this new body style in ‘49. The front grill was supposed to resemble an airplane propeller. U could add on all kinds of engine accessories to the standard Ford flat head V-8 to boost performance and power. Very popular looking and selling car in its day. Kudos to Ford for this one.

Got to love the old flat heads they do have great sound the old shoebox ford's are quite a nice looking car

Gorgeous automobile

lou, you always have a way to make my day, this is one of them, (this guy seems to have a lot of them, too), another one of my favorite classics. still wish they made them this way!! thank you so much, Awesome classics! be looking forward to more!

Thats a Pretty'n! Love it! Thanks guys!😁

Hi, Lou! Ford certainly had a car to be proud of in 1950. Dennis's car cuts quite a handsome profile in that uncommon club coupe body style and that flathead V-8 is definitely the stuff of legend. Undoubtably a great car for our old friend Dennis to have grown up with. You guys had a great day for a for the tour along the lakeside with all the nice fall foliage. Thanks to both of you for taking us along on this wonderful nostalgia trip!

Thanks Lou nice ride November 2nd 1950 in our New 1950 2dr Deluxe Coupe just picked it up when the new models came out !

Great vid!

Oh yes loved my fords from 34 ,46,49,51,55,56, and a few other in between . still have my 2001 ranger which will never leave me. 112000

Beautiful car 😍 Beautiful country side😍 Thanks Lou!

I love the look on his face!

Very nice '50 Ford! V8 sounds great!

Dennis has some excellent condition vehicles.

As always with Dennis, a perfect example with "zero excuses" as they say. The front end is so iconic and truly a flawless design. An interesting thing is that the designers were refining the design using the sedan body. Typically, it was the coupe body. If you look at a side view you'll notice that the coupe design, as beautiful as it is, is a tad "quirky", and the sedan body is more proportionate. Of course the convertible is the topper - when is it not?! LOL

The Classic Flathead V8 Ford Motor too...

😎 original brochures too.. one for each engine!

Smartly styled. Best of the field in 1950. Where is the tank for White Lightning Moonshine?

Very nice 😀

What a cool piece of American history. Quick anecdote; In the summer of 1996 or 1997 I spent the summer doing some rehab work on my dads friends small farm. We needed to cut down some small trees to build some barbed wire fence and he broke out an old Sears gas powered chainsaw that we dated to sometime in the sixties(it was turquoise and white). That son of bitch chainsaw ran like pissed off mountain lion and would zap through those trees like a pair of side cutters through zip ties. The funniest part was my dads friend said that old Sears chainsaw sounded like a Ford flathead V8 and that we should probably be running 30 weight oil in it. If I remember correctly I think he said he hadn’t started the tool in ten plus years before that summer but it started right up with a little oil and gas. I guess that was before ethanol so a small engine could sit for years without the carburetor being fouled.

The 49 thru 51's were a raging success. . Gone was the Model T buggy suspension. The clock is so loud that I kept looking around trying to figure out where the ticking was.

Excellent

I had one, flattened maroon, flames hand painted over front clip. I paid $50 for it, ran and stopped just fine, heater was great and tube radio sounded glorious.

Always liked these. Almost bought a 50 2 door sedan about 10 years ago. Baby blue and primer. :) I was so excited looking at it. It had a 305 Chevy in it but I had a plan. Had one door open and was looking around under the hood when my friend opened the other door and the whole firewall moved. I was so disappointed. :/ It was a lot rougher than this beauty to put it mildly. I had to walk away after seeing that. This one is beautiful as all of Dennis' cars are. Thank you for sharing as always. Take care Lou.

Beautiful 😍

another beauty Lou. Thanks!!

@lou last year at the good guys car show here in Raleigh nc I saw two 1950 ford shoebox coupes one was a cream color another one was ford blue I’ve always loved the 49-51 ford shoebox’s people say young guys like me don’t like classic cars well I’m 26 years old and I love cars from 1924-1992

Big Lou as usual great content I missed this one but I found it keep up the great work Big guy 👍👍👍👍

SOOOOOOO cool lou!!!

Beautiful car. Great find Lou!

Nice car. I've loved these since seeing one on TV when i was a little kid..I want to say Streets Of San Francisco. btw,,,i like the pull handle overdrive. The '56 Chevy 4 door i grew up with had the same deal, though right side. Great once again, Lou !

My dad Had a 1950 ford woody wagon . and how i remember that car I got My fingers smashed in the Car door Playing in it when i was 6 years old . I still feel the Pain In my mind I broke all four fingers lost the feelings In my hand

Que Joya mas valiosa 👍👍👍👍👍❤😂.

Love the Superbirds and such but the more obscure cars are way more interesting. Have a Merry Christmas and great New Year Lou.

I can see where ford uk got their styling cue for the mk1 zephyr/zodiac-good find Lou!!

That's one loud clock!

Very nice. I know to fall foliage is pretty, but I would have liked seeing Dennis's shifting techniques as after he stopped he put it in first gear and then watch him shift through the gears on that 3 on the tree transmission. Just wanted to see if Dennis had the proper technique that these younger guys on KZfaq don't have.

Love the video of the 50 Ford. I just bought one and am working to get it back on the road. 🎉

From what my father told me the ‘49 had quality issues, but the ‘50 was a much improved Ford.

We call them them single spinner in 🇦🇺but we only had the 4 door and the Ute . The next model we called twin spinner in 🇦🇺.

We used to call those Art Deco-looking hood ornaments "Pedestrian Disembowelers" 😆

chingon

Very nice car I have one. I do see that the heater core has been bypassed. Mine leaks also

Cars back then were about the same size as ones today it looks like.

O thing like a classic shoe box Ford

Lou, thanks for another interesting video. Though I'm confused as to where you are in this video. I see the Illinois license plate, but you mentioned Lake Geneva. Isn't that in Wisconsin? This car certainly looks loved. The aero-car door emblem you pointed out is interesting. I never knew about that. I also didn't know about the fancy interior lights on the B-Pillars. They look very deluxe. Something else new to me is seeing that Ford used a binnacle for all the gauges. And it's much nicer than the binnacle VW had used for years. How many heater cores does this car have? I'm counting four connectors at the firewall. The badge on the heater under the dashboard says Magic Air.

I never understood why these early model fords were called the shoebox when in later years all cars were just one big square.

Did you notice the smoke from the tail pipes? One guy told me you could always tell a Ford was coming your way by the blue smoke. This was because they were valve in block. If they didn’t smoke you better shut it off and check the oil!

💕👍

What a car, it features in Driver 2s cutscenes. That bullet on the grill, is it the horn? And why is it called Custom, was it meant for Custom builds?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thunder Road

I think this eta Ford looks just as cool bone stock like this one or if it's Hit Rodded...

A real beauty...but can that color be and original from that era? Seems too metallic to me. Total stock is best.

Does this car have a backseat and how many mpg on highway

Was this car available 🤔 with an automatic transmission in 1950 ?

Cost plz

Does this car have great gas mileage and how many miles
