I have a collection of a dozen vehicles and reducing the number since I sold a property with a 55 car garage. Am retired and have less time to enjoy and maintain all of them so reducing the number; otherwise I would not be selling this car. It's time for a new owner to take this car to another level. This car would make an excellent holiday gift and the recipient would enjoy driving and improving it for years to come. It is not a "trailer queen" meaning you could enjoy this vehicle as a daily driver. weekend cruiser. or with a bit of additional work as a potential trophy winner at car shows. Please only bid if you are serious about owning this car and can afford to do so. otherwise negative feedback will be forwarded to Ebay!. On Dec-19-14 at 12:41:37 PST. seller added the following information:This 1950 Ford is listed in the auction as a Coupe. I have received messages stating the car is a 2 door sedan; however. the title states "2 door coupe" and so I listed it as such. Thanks to those who noticed this discrepancy.
