I am in Cushing, WI and have inherited my Daddy's 1950 Prefect, Dad bought this car in Excelsior, MN for $159.00 in 1959, I was 13 at the time and was at Grandpops house when Dad showed up with this BeanFart of a car and said climb in and we went for a ride around the city of Mpls, Mn. What really stuck in my mind was the culdesac on the border of N. Mpls and Robbinsdale, he went around that sac and I could have sworn it was going to roll scared the dickens out of me. Well something must have happened to the engine as he towed it to the farm and shoved it in an old woodshed and it never saw the light of day until last month when I brought it home and there is no rust except where the mice/rats rotted the rear seat bottom out and I filled up a 40 gallon can with mouse shredding and did it Stink.
Sorry for the long-winded
Stay Healthy
Jim

Welcome Jim - that is a fabulous project and a very rare car. We will be delighted to follow along.
 
Welcome! I've had many,many English Fords over the years,
but none right now.
 
Hello Jim

Welcome to the forum.

I remember them well. It will be a crowd pleaser at British car shows as it is so unusual. Keep us updated on your progress.
