Mine's in the avatar. '51 5 star extra. Several things "corrected" since the photo to render it bone stock.

My Dad had a 50 Ford Tudor with a flathead six, and that's just the way described it.

Hillbilly Bob, the '50 Ford car radio is what Ford used in the '51 @ '52 F-1's. Here's a photo of the one in our '51.

Here's a couple shots of my 51. Crusty on the outside, yummy on the inside. I drive it daily. I love this truck!

Here's my '50 F1 in Sheridan blue. I use it often to haul "stuff." Recently it brought home a new 59A flathead that will replace the 302 in my '34.

Here's mine:




Nice detail work in the engine compartment! Way to go! Oh, yeah, the rest looks great as well!

Don't have one now but have owned both a 51 and 52 F-1. The 52 had a flat head V-8 and the 51 had a 6 cyl. Still have the tranny out of the 51 and maybe the horns.
