Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
The 1951 model year was the third and final for Ford’s first postwar redesign, which debuted for 1949 and earned the nickname “shoebox” for its slab-sided styling. Updates for 1951 included a Ford crest in place of the block lettering and a turn-key ignition. Ford offered the car in Deluxe and Custom Deluxe trim, with a 226ci inline-six or a 239ci flathead V8 rated at 100 horsepower when new, paired with a three-speed manual transmission with optional overdrive or the Ford-O-Matic automatic.
According to the seller, this Tudor Sedan has been in their family since new and was refurbished around 2002, with work that included overhauling the flathead V8, transmission, rear differential, and brakes, along with redoing the interior. It is finished in burgundy over gray cloth upholstery and rides on painted steel wheels with whitewall radial tires.
Reported modifications include an alternator conversion and an aftermarket head unit.
This 1951 Ford Tudor Sedan is now offered at no reserve with a Ford shop manual, owner’s manuals, handwritten service notes, and a clean Kansas title in the seller’s name.
