This 1951 Ford Custom Deluxe is a remarkable survivor and a true piece of American automotive history. With just 5,848 miles on the odometer and having remained in the same family from new until 2019, it stands as a highly original example of early '50s Ford craftsmanship and design. The Deluxe trim level offered more upscale appointments, and this car remains incredibly well-preserved, showcasing how well it was cared for over the decades.
Powered by a 226ci inline 6-cylinder engine mated to a 3-speed manual transmission, this Ford delivers a smooth and authentic driving experience that perfectly captures the spirit of the postwar era. The engine runs with the quiet confidence these dependable flathead sixes were known for, and the manual gearbox adds to the engaging, hands-on appeal of classic motoring.
The car retains its original charm both inside and out, reflecting a level of authenticity rarely seen today. From the period-correct trim and body lines to the untouched interior appointments, everything speaks to its originality and long-term preservation.
Whether you're a collector seeking a historically significant vehicle or simply someone who appreciates original, unrestored classics, this 1951 Ford Custom Deluxe offers a rare opportunity to own a virtually untouched piece of mid-century Americana.
About Garage Kept Motors
Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen though we do recommend to check the vehicle out in person or have a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) done. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
