The bland color and doggie-bowl hubcaps do give off the perfect cop-car vibe. The C-pillar trim looks like it once edged either a contrasting roof color or a vinyl top covering but that’s not the case, all Custom 500s were so adorned. The seller adds, “ The only rust in this car is in front and behind the rear wheels and it’s MINIMAL! The underneath is rust-free”. Potential buyers? Fleet sales and retail buyers who were budget conscious would be the most likely recipients – and that demand surpassed 40K units.Įxternally, this Custom 500 shows pretty well, a bit boring maybe, but it looks sound. That left the four-door sedan and station wagon (Ranch Wagon) as the only body styles. So, who drove a Ford Custom/Custom 500 in this era? Perhaps Bill Gannon (of Dragnet fame) was suggested by a reader in the ’68 Custom post? Actually, by ’70, Ford had undertaken some pruning and the two-door sedan version of the Custom and Custom 500 was kaput. There is a BIN price of $7,500 available too. Larry D found this seemingly less than a collectible sedan, here on eBay, where it calls Rockford, Illinois its home and is available for a current bid of $2,568, reserve not yet met. Our subject is actually a ’70, but it’s pretty similar – an example of the model that was frequently not saved.
OK, readers seemed to like this 1968 Ford Custom two-door sedan, featured a few days ago, so let’s review a four-door version today.
