Found this jewel parked at the town square in Lake Sumter Landing. In my last year of high school, several students had bought 1949 Fords and then customized them in a variety of ways, which usually included twin exhaust pipes and lowering the rear end.
I saw a 1949 Ford convertible for sale on eBay - nicely customized. It can be yours for only $17,750 USD.

awesome red shiny sleek car. good eye to capture this one.
Wonderful image of a great car in a perfect color!
It's a real beauty! It's a shame I haven't spare $17,750:)
Have a nice day!
Looks pretty neat, no golf cart for them today.
She's a ruby red gem of a car! Wowie!
she is a beauty!!
It reminds me of a Chrysler Crossfire .. sort of ..
WoW! Very red & VERY SHINY! lol
Don't you just wish you'd kept half the cars you've owned so you could now pull them out of hiding and make a small fortune. My son laughs at the "priceless" collectibles I've unloaded over the years. (They didn't seem worth much when I sold them.)
Now, that's a CAR!
@ Frank - Yes, I've often thought that. My first car was a 1937 Chevy that I lowered, decked, put twin pipes on and fender skirts! Paid $175 for it. Second car was a green Plymouth coupe with faux wood paneling.
They were wonderful!
Well, my first car was a "real" Mini Cooper! I loved it dearly, called it allsorts of cute names but it doesn't come anywhere near this beauty!
Hehehe Hi Jacob - I didn't know what a hibiscus was, til I looked it up just now & I THINK mom has some that I just took a pic of the other day, so I'll get it posted next, just for you! LoL!
Plus impressionnante qu'une Ferrari, j'aimerai bien l'avoir dans mon garage.
As they would have said in the mid-sixties in California, this car is 'cherry.' And it's a cherry color, too. I love it.
It's literally glittering! What a piece!
God bless you!

Beautiful and shiny:)
Nice contrast. Crisp colors. I had never seen this model. Beautiful.
It's amazing how little we paid for our first cars and how affordable they seemed when compared to today's cars that kids drive. What happened? My big expense seemed to always be a new set of retreat tires. A regular expense.
Hi Frank - did you mean "retreads" vs. "retreat tires"?
I used to buy retreads, too. Couldn't afford anything else. Sometimes they didn't work too well.
Obviously this is a Ford Thunderbird with a conversion kit. Not a real 49 Shoebox. I'm only 18 and I could tell you that.
Okay, you anonymous smartass - you may be right. Next time use your name!
This may appear to be a 49 Ford, but the body of the car is much newer, it is a kit added to the front of what i think is a Thunderbird from the 90s.
