Vehicle Description
This 1953 Ford Customline has been upgraded with a performance V8,
great paint, updated suspension, and an A/C interior. So you can
read on for all the details, but you already know this is a
terrific street machine.
This one absolutely lives up to the "custom" part of the Customline
name. The Glacier Blue paint is a great 1950s-style color, but the
gloss it radiates in the sunshine tells you this is a newer
professional application. Plus, the emblems in the front and rear
as well as the door handles are all accented by custom navy and
gray pinstriping. And items like the blue-dot headlights and Rocket
alloy wheels are great indications of a full custom build. And we
know exactly why someone spent the time and money making this one
look so good. These Fords have an instant appeal with a bright
front end that has both a wraparound bumper and grille. Plus,
there's plenty of jet-inspired elements like the hood ornament,
rear fender trim, and afterburner-style taillights. So this was
already a highly stylized package before the custom investment.
Inside is a great mix of vintage and new worlds. The gray cloth
seat, coordinating door panels, and carpeting all look
period-correct, but they have the fresh feeling of a recent
investment. And the classic dual-spoke steering wheel with Ford
family crest is a great vintage element. But beyond that is a tilt
steering column and a full set of Dolphin gauges. Plus, you get
great pieces that people never heard of in the '50s, like cup
holders and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. And to keep you feeling as
cool as you look in this Ford, there's also modern R134a air
conditioning.
It's nice to see a Ford get upgraded in the engine bay while still
keeping the power in the blue oval family. In fact, its cobalt blue
presentation will really draw a crowd. This is 302 cubic-inch
roller motor that's been given plenty of nice features, including
an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and headers that feed a
rumbling dual exhaust. But more than just a great performance V8,
take some time to look over this full build. You'll see a upgraded
Mustang II-style independent front suspension and front disc
brakes. Out on the road, the three-speed automatic transmission and
power steering keep this classic comfortable. You even have an
aluminum radiator with electric fans to keep the whole package cool
even if you're in traffic with the A/C pumping.
There's less than 6k miles on the whole build, and the build
receipts will prove just how much work went into this very custom
Ford Customline. So you know you can't delay on this well-priced
classic, or else it might be gone. Call today!!!
