Thanks, E. I don’t often see white cars at the show and this one was somewhat unique in that it had scratches all over it. I tried to minimize them in the shots but this one needs a lot of work. Still, it’s pretty special.
I don’t know where you could buy whitewalls anywore. I remember that there was a catalog store that shipped all of these add-ons and chrome pieces you see on this car. I think it was JC Whitney.
PS: I just Googled JC Whitney and they’re still around.after 113 years.
Thanks, Lynn. I believe this is a 1950 Ford Coupe. The Coupes seem to be fairly rare. I think they were not really considered family cars because of only two doors.
I’m not the aficionado that you are, but I doubt I’ve ever seen one of these – that is, in “recent” years. And back then, I bet you’re right, it wasn’t not sporty enough to appeal to the sports car crowd and not practical enough for families. Did I tell you I have a “Tri-door?” An old Saturn coupe with an extra door behind the driver’s. I don’t keep it up well, unfortunately, but it’s done well by me, I have to say. It’s a 2002, I got it in 2012, and it’s been very reliable.

Very nice, especially the front shot of the hood ornament. The taillight is also not bad.

I like the whitewall tires against the white of the car.

So much to love, in the car and the images….and I’m fine with the scratches and dents and a bit of rust, personally. 🙂
