Head on over to the HAMB (jalopyjournal.com) and you'll get some answers. Most here on Fordbarn with a '51 Ford will be running a flathead or keeping their hood closed :D

He sold the car. That must've been some smell. I think some folks should stick to modern cars.

Re: Ideas for Replacement Interior 48 Ford sedan

Early to mid-60s T-bird, Galaxie, early Mustang would be a good place to start IMO for fold-down buckets that look good, not too modern. A console is a good idea or the seats look too small. Early...

Re: '51 passenger car hood hinges, advice?

I guess I'm going to start by pulling everything off the car and replacing every nut, bolt and spring, and re-tapping every thread. Put it all back together again and see if it makes a difference.
