Can anyone look at this picture and tell what is the style number? I think it is a 70B but can't tell th data plate is missing. It is need whan ordering parts. It is a 2 door with the 2 rear windows that roll down and the vent in the rear that swing out, it also has Custom on the outside trim. Thanks Jerry

Your car shows up in my books as a Custom C70 Tudor sedan. The Deluxe is a D70. There were several trim levels available, including a "Custom Deluxe". This message was edited by supereal on 1-26-13 @ 11:13 AM

I thanks for the help. What you have is interesting because I have a listing from the Early V-8 club and also My Ford body book(44-52) that says a 70C is a Crestliner. So now I am consfused again. What it will take to settle this is if some one has a model like mine and can read the data plate in the cowling then that should put it to rest. Thanks for the info..Jerry

A Chassis Parts Catalog that includes 1949 through 1953 models indicated on page IV that the 1950 models did have three body type IDs for the model 70 types. The 70A is the Deluxe Tudor Sedan, The 70B is the Custom Deluxe Tudor Sedan, and the 70C is the Crestliner. This page also has illustrations for the basic "Deluxe" 6 or 8 on the spinner, The "Custom Deluxe" has the same for the spinner and "Custom" imprinted on the front side trim pieces, and finally the "Crestliner" has the same spinner with the side trim that was only used on the Crestliner types that no other models have and usually has two color treatments and the vinyl top as well as a "Crestliner" identification trim piece on each side just below the body side trim and just in front of the doors on the front fenders. The one in the photo appears to be a Custom Deluxe Tudor Sedan model 70B This message was edited by rotorwrench on 1-26-13 @ 12:31 PM

If you look at the 49-50-51 Ford Book put out by the Early Ford V-8 Club, it shows on pages 1-4 and 1-8 why there is confusion over body identifications.
