Description:
1954 Ford Crestline:
1954 Ford Custom Crestline Skyliner finished in a gorgeous Blue with
a White top and two-tone Blue/Cream interior. Powered by Ford's first
239c.i. V8 that produces 130hp and is backed by a 3-speed manual
transmission with overdrive. This amazing example has been upgraded
and modified to create a beautiful representation of a mainstream
1950's automobile.
In 1952 Ford decided that a redesign of its car was needed and so the
Crestline got an upgrade which led Ford to beat Chevy to a redesign
by a full year. This also led to many sales over the course of the
Crestline Skyliner era, with the 1954 variation being the last of the
generation. 1954 featured upgrades from the previous models by Ford
that included new suspension and had a unique feature in that a
Plexiglas panel was placed over the top of the front driver and
passenger. A wraparound windshield and curved rear glass finished
out the then modern look of Ford's lineup.
Features in this Custom Crestline consist of rear fender skirts;
stainless steel trim package; two-tone paint; dual sport mirrors; power
windows; factory trunk mat; jack; and spare tire. Upgrades consist of a
re-plated 1954 Desoto grille that was floated in the front cowl; stamped
louvered hood; Laker side pipes; dual exhaust with chrome plated billet
mufflers; continental stainless tire kit; shaved trunk lock with power
trunk; custom wire wheels; white wall radial tires; and a 1.5" drop. It
also comes with the original split grille and bumper guards; trim;
factory Coronado trunk spare tire cover; front factory hood emblem
with airplane hood topper; and a custom car cover.
This 1954 Ford was sold new in California and made its way to
Spokane, WA in the 1960's. After 20 years it ended up with a collector
in Victoria. BC and spent several years being restored to the beautiful
example seen today. The two-tone paint is water based and the
pinstriping on the car is all hand painted. A new roof panel was also
installed in 2010. It's a well-done classic that is ready to go.1954 Ford Crestline:
