Memphis, TN
Description:
1949 Ford CoupeExteriorWonderfully curved ripple free panels with well minded gaps areattached to this car. Looking much like a red kidney bean, the carhas been nosed and decked, and now has a single 3 toothedhorizontal bar in the middle replacing the bullet styled grille.All chrome is excellent and shining like a crazy diamond. On thehood is a large pinstripe flourish with 1949 Ford written on it.The fenders seamlessly sweep into the body and it shows in thetraditional 3 box design, that was the shape of things to come.Nice chrome trimmings for all the windows, a large metal sun visoris permanently attached, and on the sides the spears have beenshaved and now it has some white flames burning the red paint. Awide scooped hood moves rearward to the split windshield. Theobligatory chromed searchlights are on both sides and small styledoval mirrors aid with the side views on both sides. On the backsmall rear quarter fins are now filled and squinting oval taillighting is mounted just below the filler on the fins. Some morewhite highlighter flourishes below the tail lighting, and of coursethe continental bumper complete with metal spare tire coversporting Betty Boop. Add in fender skirts with chrome trimmings anddeep round moon caps on back to clear the fender skirts, as well assome pointed star caps for the front tires. All tires are widewhites. This car is very cool you could say...boop-oop-a-doop!InteriorUtilizing some of the original design aspects, and chroming themtrim curves, power window toggles and door actuator mix nicely withthe black background of the smooth vinyl door panels and seats.Speaking of which, the wide overstuffed high backs upfront and acircular dual attached via a center fold down armrest bench on therear. These are all very nice, no rips or tears, and sport redpiping for some extra bling. Front buckets have power adjustments.The dash drips late 40s design with the interplay of chrometrimmings and back painted curved formed metal. A single newcircular speedo within a metal cut out wide surround and a fewchromed knobs and some vertical ribbed forms trimming variousareas. We could be revisiting some art deco styling, but certainlygeared toward the upcoming rocket age. On top of the speedometer isa glass fresnel lens to help the driver see a changing trafficlight due to the metal visor possibly obscuring the view, (theythought of everything!). Fronting the dash is an original steeringwheel in white bakelite. A quartet of aftermarket gauges hangsbelow the centrally located radio, now an aftermarket digitalAM/FM/CD player by Sony. Just above that in the factory formedcircle on front of the center dash which used to house the clock isnow a round tachometer. Also noted is a B&M converter lock upcontrol. Within the flooded black carpeted floors, now protected bymore Betty Boop themed mats is a B&M shifter and plastic moldedcenter console/change holder/cupholder in black. Above is a nicetight black vinyl headliner. Dont touch!DrivetrainA lift of the hood, and what to my wondering eyes should appear,but a Chevrolet 327ci V8 courtesy a Camaro. This is topped with anEdelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. On the back, a GM 4-speed 200R4transmission. When viewing this engine, youll have to wear shadesas it is highly polished everywhere and has a red ribbed aircleaner atop with red wiring, headers, and a shiny like new mastercylinder. Close the hood before I go blind!!UndercarriageNot much to complain about underneath, as we see plenty of blackundercoating, a newer fuel tank, Flowmaster exhaust, and a nice andclean frame now supporting a coil spring independent suspension infront leaf springs in back. Power disc brakes on front, and powerdrums on back provide the woah factor. "Belly dancing is a goodworkout, so do it everyday"...B Boop!Drive-AbilityId definitely call this car a sleeper, as outside it hints at awild side, but a turn of the key confirms it. It idles with abeautiful burble, and when you press the gas, this car just becomesbright eyed and bushy tailed! Plenty of power to even chirp thetires, and it just keeps on going and going. A definite top endcar, I was not able to realize its full potential even on our testtrack, it had that much left. Slight lumbering on the curves, easysteering when moving, and it was nice and tight. Definitely ascreamer with more power than youll probably ever need, and thensome. This car just gets up and goes goes goes. VeryImpressive!
