1949 Ford Custom “Diamond Smuggler†Beautiful Show Car with a criminal history!
1949 Ford Custom
1949 Ford Custom "Diamond Smuggler" is one over the top, custom show car that has a criminal history! This beauty has been hidden away in a private collection for quite a few years and is now being offered for sale. The dirty history is…. in 1949 this car was confiscated by Canadian Customs at the Peace Bridge, Fort Erie, Canada. When it was searched, the customs officers founddiamonds, beingsmuggled in from the USA. Moving forward, this car was found in 1994, still in Fort Erie, by Ken Servos who is a custom car builder in Canada. He proceeded to design and build the “Diamond Smuggler†to carry the story forward. I have included pics of a 5 page build sheet drafted by Ken Servos himself which really says it all in detail. SO BE SURE TO LOOK AT PICS FOR A DETAILED DESCRIPTION! It has 14K miles on it since the build but still looks nearly perfect. It looks, runs and drives excellent, 80 MPH on the highway and smooth as a caddy. A few things that have been changed or removed since the build described. The Lake pipes were taken off (bottomed out to often and got scuffed up), do not have the remote for the door poppers, have all paperwork to get one(need to reach in vent window), one of the air bags blew out while on a long road trip and couldn’t get them immediately so I had lowering shocks installed, sits like seen in pics,and had a new radiator installed. Other than those few things the car is as built. I have a book with every original receipt from the build, I even havethe bill of sale when Ken bought the car. I also tracked down a copy of“ Old Auto’s †a Canadian car magazine from Jan. 5th 2004 where The Diamond Smuggler was featured in a full page article. This car has a great story,many best in class, peoples choice and best in show awards including top 10 Canadian Street Rod Nationals Winner.This car is a real head turner, great storyand show ready. Detailed description in pics!!
