![]() Today's car of the day is Ertl's 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Ford Custom ![]() ![]() This old Ertl from the 1980's has a painted metal roof, simulating the raised convertible roof, and opening doors with door gaps that would make today's collectors gasp. "Ertl. Just like the real thing. Only smaller." ![]() ![]()

I've liked this series of oldies from Ertl since learning of them. Simple, crude by today's standards, but quite charming and ahead of their time (early '80's). This is from an era when opening doors were everywhere and door gaps weren't a concern. Always fun to see a Shoebox Ford! |

As a kid I received a set of Ertl "oldies" that included this car, so it has a place in my heart. Unfortunately the green Chevy in that set met with a hammer, and ultimately its demise. |

Part of ERTL's entry into the little car playing field. Well known for their many farm tractors and implements in the late '70's - early '80's they started to offer a selection of cars and pickup trucks. They were well received but never sold as strong as Matchbox or Hot Wheels. This series was neat as it offered a number of vintage American cars such as this shoebox Ford - it also came in all blue.
