Gordy Brown's 1951 Ford
1951 Ford Victoria owned and restyled by Gordy Brown. Gordy restyled the Victoria in the mid to late 1980s. When the car was almost done, Tex Smith put together a run from Montana down thru Yellowstone National Park into Idaho, so Gordy primered the car two-tone red and grey so he could attend the run. Gordy drove the Victoria all over with the flathead engine and a manual transmission. In 2012, the car had not been out since 1998, when Gordy drove it to Moab, Utah for a Kustoms of America event. During the the trip the clutch was slipping badly, so Gordy decided to put it away for a while. After a while Gordy pulled the transmission, had the flywheel machined and replaced the clutch assembly. In 2012 the car was in the process of being redone, this time Gordy plans to take it all the way to finish.[1]
