Ford Custom Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1949–1955) — First Generation
The first-generation Ford Custom Coupe is the two-door body for this generation. It is a practical coupe you can live with day to day, not a special-edition showpiece.
A typical Ford Custom engine in this Coupe is a 3.7- or 3.9-liter gasoline unit, as in the 3.7 MT and 3.9 MT examples. Both pair a manual transmission with a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain, so you shift yourself and send power to the rear. That powertrain is simple everyday hardware.
