I have loved 50 Fords since my first grade teacher, Mrs. Botkin, bought a new 50 Crestliner in bronze and brown. Every day on my way to and from the bus, I stopped to look at it. In 1954 my dad bought a nice 50 Deluxe 2dr and in 1960 my first car was a 50 Custom Deluxe 4dr. I had this pea green car painted ruby maroon at Earl Scheib for $29.95 and several years later rebuilt the engine myself. I have read everything I could about 49-51 Fords for over 50 years. Many years ago Michael Lamm started Special Interest Autos which became Hemmings Classic Car. He did a great piece on the designers of the 49 Ford. His conclusions were pretty much the same as the latest article. A good read.
