"The Ford V8 for 1950"
Ford produced a similar Sales Brochure for the 1950 Ford V8.

Yes Mark, happy story. I sold the car in about 90 or so, but I would still see it around occasionally in Minnesota

My 1st car was a 50 with the 6 and o/d trans. Used oil bad, so saved up & had it rebuilt.
Mild bore & deck job. Long story short; it would beat most V8s till about 50 mph & bury the peg in 3rd gear o/d. GR8 engines !!!!
