Hot Rods 1951 Ford Coupe - New Driver

Very nice. Enjoy.

 

would look great with some black steelies and WWW's

 

After quite a few miles with me in the roadster, she's not at all concerned about AC

We were freezing on the drive home (across Iowa) during 20-something temps, so good heat is much more of a priority. We both still enjoyed the trip, though!

 

...its a Chewbox

 

I like it!! Now spring for some Vette valve covers for the 265. Sweet.

 

How many people have a weinermobile with their car pic? LOL.

 

I really like it !!!!!! however ......

 

World of Wheels in Omaha?

 

Yes, sir! We are working on having a group of cars there again this year.

 

Dibs if you ever want to sell it. Great color too, shoe boxes are a dignified car and deserve a dignified color.

 

Glad you like the car and I appreciate the kind words. Good luck with it.

 

Gotta have that wing on the hood to make sure you're flying right

 

It would be interesting to see with a few different wheel/tire combos. I must say that I do like what it has on it now.

It almost seems like this car would look good with OE style chrome wheels with redline tires.

And funny that you mention black steelies. It had them on it with black wall Firestones before the current set.

 

I'm glad it found a good home, that is one Kool ride....

 

Ahhh... a shoebox Ford... what a sweet ride! One of the favorite cars I've owned was my '49 sedan. 3" chop, spots, skirts and yes, it had a 350/350 in it, 'cause I couldn't afford a Ford. That car rode like a champ, had plenty of power and was a whole lot of fun! I'll bet yours is all those things and more.

 

Love it!

 

you see the heater tech I have posted in the past?

 

If the paint wasn't SOOOO nice, I'd say all it needs is a little bit of a haircut to be perfect but that is a reeeeeely nice ride there indeed.

Great looking car!

 

Thanks, guys. I have the car registered for the Gathering - hope to see you both there again!

 

Beautiful

 

Man I think those wheels look perfect personally.... I'm also a fan of keeping ford/Ford under the hood, but if you're gonna switch it up, hard to argue this one is perfectly done. Damn nice car.... May you guys enjoy it and cruise in safety!

 

To my eye at least the club coupe follows the 39/40 coupe roofline and is as pleasing to the eye. I think this car would look great with redline tires but chrome wheels would distract attention from the tasteful bodywork.

 

Great looking car Nick. I’ve put thousands of miles on my shoebox coupe and they offer a huge trunk and plenty comfy for family on long trips.

 

Rad!

 

That’s pretty. Just got a 50 Club Coupe myself. Im thinking of renting out the trunk on Air B&B.

 

After driving the car for a year on the Rocket wheels and bias ply Firestones, I decided to change it up a bit.

I picked up a nice set of '56 Ford 15" wheels from a good friend. He sprayed them body color and I picked up new '51 style dog dish caps from Shoebox Central in Oklahoma. The tires are Auburn Deluxe radial WWW from Diamondback Classics. 6.70x15 front, 7.10x15 rear. Nice tires that balanced well and ride/drive great.

 

Looks great Nick!
