@TheCoolCountryguy Thanks for watching my video. Back in the day, the car may have been a Chick-Magnet, but today not so much. Out of the nearly 6900 views, only 8 percent are females. But, they span all age groups, and I appreciate all the women who like my Shoebox Ford video. My granddaughter likes it, too.
Thanks for the James Dean story. Everyone knows about his 49 Merc and Porsche, but the 49 Ford is a new one! Ironically, he was killed by a 50 Ford crashing into his Porsche. Thanks for the watching.
While at the WInslow farm in Fairmount, Indiana a number of years ago, the wife of James Dean's cousin, Mark Winslow, opened up a storage / tool shed and showed me James Dean's high school graduation present ; a green 4dr 1949 Ford. Not many, if anyone at the time, knew of the vehicle , other than his family members. In front of this shed, in the cement, were Dean's hand & footprints , left from when he was approx. ten years old. Seems he already knew he was Hollywood bound.
Very nice! And just for a change, a real blood red, not that cheap looking candy apple red. I also like that you kept the old flat head 8 in there. Great car!
@moonpagan--Thanks for your comments. The color gets a lot of compliments and looks good on the Coupe. The car is an older restoration, but still has a nice shine and the chrome is as good as it looks. The flathead runs and sounds great!
that's one beautiful ford! And thanks for helping us out with the year of the one we found in the bush. We have a bunch of video to edit from a tour we took through a Ford collectors huge private collection. he has several shoe box style cars in his stash... we'll let you know when we post some of those episodes!
The new custom dual exhaust system consists of two new custom cast iron exhaust manifolds, 17 inch Brockman Mellow Tone steel pac mufflers exiting thru two inch alunimized-steel exhaust pipes and stainless steel pencil tip extensions...a really nice old-school look and awesome flathead sound !
This is a car not the honda civic's we see today these cars were and still are built like tanks and sure appealed to the ladies all right!!!!

@MrRJDB1969 if that can be varified as definately James Dean's Ford it's gotta be worth a good sum. Probably a minimum of 100 Grand

@inkey2 : Possibly. Not sure where the vehicle is now, since I've heard tell that the Winslow farm has since been sold.
