1950 Ford Custom Deluxe

This 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe is a standout example of early postwar American design, thoughtfully restored and enhanced for both visual impact and driving enjoyment. Finished in the striking and period-correct Sportsman Green, this two-door coupe exudes vintage flair while benefiting from key performance and interior upgrades. With its tasteful customization and solid mechanicals, this Ford is ideal for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a turn-key classic that turns heads wherever it goes. Before we dive into the details of this stunning Ford's exterior, interior, and powertrain, we'd like to introduce ourselves. Smoky Mountain Traders is a premier classic car dealership located in East Tennessee, specializing in muscle cars and vintage vehicles. As a family-owned and operated business, we take pride in offering one of the largest and most trusted selections of classic cars for sale in the region. Unlike many dealers, we own 100% of our inventory-we do not accept consignments-so you can buy with confidence, knowing every car on our lot is hand-selected by our team. Wearing a smooth and glossy coat of Sportsman Green, the body of this Custom Deluxe presents beautifully with its classic two-door coupe proportions and flowing postwar lines. The paintwork highlights the sculpted fenders and streamlined silhouette that made the 1950 model so iconic. All chrome elements-including the bumpers, side moldings, hood ornament, and bullet-nose grille-are polished to a mirror finish, offering brilliant contrast to the soft green tone. Out back, the teardrop taillights and dual exhaust tips add a touch of custom flair, while a smoothed rear panel gives the car a cleaner look. It sits on a set of polished Weld Racing wheels wrapped in Douglas Touring A/S radials, completing the mild street rod aesthetic with a contemporary edge. The interior has been fully customized with classic black vinyl upholstery, featuring vertical pleating on the bench seats and door panels. The dash is finished in a smooth metallic silver and accented with a full set of auxiliary gauges, providing clear readouts for vital engine functions. A sport-style steering wheel sits at the helm, and a modern radio has been tastefully integrated into the dash for added convenience. Black seat belts have been added for safety, while the custom headliner and clean black carpeting help tie together a high-quality, show-ready interior. Overall, the cabin balances originality with comfort, giving this coupe a usable and stylish space. Under the hood is a strong-running small 302 V8, offering a major performance upgrade over the factory flathead engine. It's dressed with finned aluminum valve covers, a polished air cleaner, and a four-barrel carburetor, all tucked into a clean and color-matched engine bay. A large aluminum radiator ensures reliable cooling. For added performance the 302 V8 is mated to the C4 Automatic Transmission and the 8 Rear end with 3.00 gears. It's been upgraded with Disc Brakes on the front and is equipped with Power Steering as well. The exhaust note is assertive but refined, thanks to a dual exhaust system with Xlerator mufflers that enhances the car's custom appeal. A modern battery and updated wiring contribute to reliable operation, making this Ford as roadworthy as it is eye-catching. With a rotating inventory of 70 to 80 high-quality classic cars, we're committed to offering the best selection at unbeatable prices. Whether you're looking for a fully restored muscle car, a survivor classic, or a weekend cruiser, Smoky Mountain Traders delivers quality, value, and unmatched customer service. 📞 Call us at (865) 988-8088 📧 Email: [email protected]
