my 1949 and 1950 Ford Sportsman Concepts

[62rebel]

here's the 1949 Sportsman i built quite a while back, and the companion 1950 i recently did. they're based on a photo i found in an article in Collectible Automobile, showing a coupe with woodie sides, that echoed the 1946-48 Sportsman convertibles.

Very logical use of the wood appliqués. The overall look is quite realistic and in keeping with the Wagon... Nice!

Sweet! Nice to see something built as the factory would have.

I am guessing FOMoCo did these exercises on paper . I doubt they made it to clay or prototype . Never mind as you have as a complete running car . Nice work . Thanx ..

the photo i based the coupe on looked authentic enough; it wouldn't have been too hard to fabricate "wood" appliques.

in my opinion, it would have been a good seller on the club coupe and convertible bodies. i imagine the package being available as a definite premium level car, and not the base model.

What happened to my pictures? This thread is practically useless without them.

This thread is 6 years old. If you moved the original image files since then, they'll now have different file names and not be linked to the image host. You'll have to re-post.

I never moved them. I don't use file sharing, so they won't be re-posted.

Perhaps you've used up the allotted image space for posting direct to the forum?

And that necessitated their removal from this thread? More bandwidth is wasted by repeatedly quoting posts than by allowing direct posting. I would have thought, once an image WAS posted, it was here for all time.... I suppose I am mistaken about that after all. But, I never took a computer course in my life so I may be absolutely, completely in the wrong....
