1950 Ford coupes

The Ford Motor Company started to create their postwar automobiles by late 1940s. By 1950, many new and exciting changes were made to those vehicles. The era in which the antique 1950 Ford coupe was designed, the United States was winding down from the Second World War.

The antique 1950 Ford coupe was a double door car with a sloped and short roof. The Business coupe had room for three passengers and was available with a deluxe V-8 100 horsepower engine for $1419 or either a deluxe six-cylinder 95 horsepower engine for $1333. The only difference between the Business coupe and the six-passenger Club coupe was the utilization of the free space. The rear seat was removed in the Business coupe so that it can afford the businessman with additional cargo space.

Their connection goes well with their age and they are liked for their class-apart appeal and antique design. Yeah, both old wines and vintage cars are loved for their early and ancient flavor. Older they are, better it is, one such typical vintage car design was well modeled by the Fort T.

Much to the delight, of then Englishmen, Ford Motor Company manufactured this archaic car from 1908 through 1927. The Ford T indeed became the rage in 1908 for its reasonable price. It was touted as the most influential car of the twentieth century, which had put America on wheels by being the first affordable automobile.

It almost became a cult after being widely used in the Hollywood films like The Flivver King and the Absent-minded Professor. Why it became so popular, was partly due to the adoption of assemble line production in place of conventional handcrafting and partly for the payment of worker wages in proportion to the cost of the car.

Ford Consul Capri

I would like to dedicate my first post in this blog to this very interesting English car – Ford Consul Capri.

Consul Capri was introduced to English public in year 1961. It was proclaimed as the “first personal car from Ford of Great Britain” – basically Consul Capri is a 2-doors coupe version of of the Ford Classic saloon, the first British Ford model. It was designed by Roy Brown, the designer of notorious Edsel model. During the construction and designing, Consul Capri had an internal name “Sunbird”, which meant that it is some kind of hybrid of Ford Thunderbird and the Sunliner.

The vehicle was quit unusual for that time because of such features like disc brakes, four headlights, variable speed wipers, dimming dashboard lights, and a cigar lighter. Consul Capri was equipped with 1340 cc Straight-4 ohv engine, which was replaced in August 1962 by its enhanced variant with 1498 cc.

The first 200 Capris were hand-made left-hand-drive cars for continental Europe. During all the lifetime only 500 cars were sold. Their production was to expensive and retail price was rather high too. Ford Consul Capri was discontinued in July 1964 – after 2,5 years of production only.

I remember this candy green, as well as the white being very popular colors for this car. The limited edition TR-8 (same look) was extremely popular as well, but the pricey tag made it very limited indeed.

A truly beutiful Ferrari to watch as it took turns at low speeds, only to slingshot around the next car into the straight.
