Vehicle Description
Ford was hitting on all eight cylinders in 1955, and the dazzling
Customline coupe had a style edge on the shoebox Chevys. With the
big 292 V8 and a great interior, this two-tone hardtop is true art
deco on wheels.
Following quite close to the correct color scheme of Mountain Green
and Snowshoe White, this Customline really has great '50s flair.
These Fords were instantly recognizable with their sweeping chrome
trim that divided the two-tone combinations, and it extended from
the headlight all the way back to the tail. It serves to lengthen
the car and adds artful angles to the sheetmetal. Speaking of the
panels, take some time to appreciate how straight every piece
looks. Without this attention to detail the trim would never look
as stellar, and the profile wouldn't be this nice. But the real
reason why you love a classic Ford is that it's nostalgia on
wheels. This is the era of full-width wraparound bumpers, massive
hood ornaments leading the way, and the taillights inspired by the
now-iconic Thunderbird. Finish it off with bright half-moon hubcaps
and whitewalls that fit the color scheme, and you're looking at a
budget-friendly classic that instantly grabs attention.
The two-tone green vinyl and cloth interior is comfortable to sit
in and great to show off when this one is parked. Plus, the side
panels, carpeting, and dash are all part of this coordinating
package to create a quality uniform appearance. And speaking of the
dash, we know you love the period-correct touches like the
Thunderbird-style Plexiglas speedometer, "Magic Air" heat/defrost
controls, and the AM radio for display. But because we know you're
going to want to enjoy this vintage coupe in modern times, there
are some nice upgrades to extend your comfort like an auxiliary
engine temperature gauge and modern AM/FM/CD stereo.
Under the hood is Ford's trusty and powerful 272 cubic-inch Ford V8
motor, and it's presented quite nicely for this U-code coupe. So
you'll enjoy all the correct components like the tall silver oil
bath air cleaner, matching Ford script on the valve covers, bold
red block, and even the windshield washer fluid bag. And because
this is set up to be a true cruiser, there's an upgraded Champion
aluminum radiator to keep the V8 running cool. Plus, you'll be able
to choose on demand if you want the dual exhaust to sound mild or
wild thanks to the three-speed manual transmission.
This is the vintage Ford that looks and drives like a far more
expensive classic. So the only way you'll be disappointed is if you
miss this deal. Call today!!!
