1949 Ford Custom
Patrick McGee Vehicle story
About The Car
This is a five-seat 1949 Ford Custom sedan that underwent a complete nut and bolt restoration keeping it as close to stock condition as is possible. It is a national Antique Automobile Club of America first place winner (Auburn, IN National Meet, 2017). It is in superb mechanical condition and is a very reliable driving machine. It has the original 239 cu. in. flathead engine with the stock three-speed manual transmission. It has a very nicely restored Bedford cord upholstered interior that easily accommodates four passengers in addition to the driver. The car has heat, but no air-conditioning.
