Car 54 Where Are You?!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Looks like a 1950 Ford standard sedan. I don’t recall those specific cars as police cruisers, my earliest memory of seeing police cars was early 1970’s Ford LTD’s with the black and white paint job…

Greetings,

I think that is either a ‘50 or ‘51 Coupe…..You can tell by the flat turn signals and grill….the door handles were different, too. My first car was a ‘49 Ford…Bought it with the money I made hauling hay in Oklahoma. I was 16 years old, and didn’t have a sign of a drivers licence…..lol…..I drove that Ford from Ok. to Texas..Went by and got my grandma and took her with me home…..no licence, no insurance, no worries….lol.
The passenger side had a hole in the floorboard so big, you could see the highway passing under you….

Didn’t bother my grandma a bit…she just put a foot on each side of the hole, and away we went..180 miles…

It’s a 1949 Ford

Felt like I needed to check the speed I was going the instant I saw this.

Rick, I bet grandma was glad it wasn’t raining! My father had a ‘49 Ford, light blue with dark blue interior.

My first auto was a ‘53 Ford Customline, followed by a ‘49 Ford half ton pickup. We called the pickup “Cuddles”. That truck had character!

Can’t be a ‘51 as they had two bullets in the grill. The ‘49s had a differential problem. My father bought a ‘49 and lost two differentials within a couple of years. Traded it off for a ‘51 which I got in ‘59 and drove for several years until I unwisely traded it for a ‘57 which was an ex-hot rod and pretty well used up before I got it.

My first car was a black ‘50 Ford four-door sedan like the one in the photo. Without a good side profile I can’t tell if this car is a ‘49 or a ‘50. It’s not a ‘51.

Mine was a great car: flat-head V-8, three-speed column shifter, ignition switch and starter button. I had mine all tricked out with custom leatherette interior, lacquered dash and metal trim, shaved hood and deck. And fender skirts. You can’t talk about cars of that era without mentioning fender skirts and moon covers.

Like TNwood, traded mine for a ‘57 Ford Fairlane hardtop with interceptor engine. Nice car too ‘til I totaled it.

-- Getting old is a good thing, but being old kinda stinks.

My 1st was a 52 Ford convertible white automatic with power windows.
After that I went GM all the way 21 in all.

Oh 22 I just got a new GM

Very classy looking car. Vintage cars have so much more character than the plastic blobs of today.
