this Vehicle from $399 per month-call 636-600-4600 In Detroit's
race to create pillarless hardtops, Ford answered the bell after
Chevrolet's Bel-Air and Plymouth's Belvedere. This incredible
"Vicky" hales out of the state of California where it's had
extensive professional work to turn it into the fine driving
restomod you see before you! Finished in Coral with a contrasting
gray roof, the car's paint and trim are in overall great condition.
This Victoria's bodywork is straight and solid while its engine bay
is extremely tidy and the battery is very good order. The cargo
area is in good, original condition and it has the car's original
wheels, wheel covers and an alternate set of tires. The car has
driver and passenger side spotlights and its chrome bumpers look
great, too. Rolling on Falken ProTouring radials, size 215/70R15 at
all four corners. Each tire is mounted to a newer five-spoke alloy
wheel. The wheels are in excellent order while the tires are in
very good shape. Under the hood is a Chevy Performance 350 CID
small-block Chevrolet V-8 motor with dual exhausts. Backing it is a
four-speed automatic transmission. Other alternations include
independent front suspension from a Ford Mustang II. Driver
convenience features include vintage air-conditioning and power
rack-and-pinion steering. The car's beige bench seats are in
overall great condition, as does the carpet, the ribbed headliner
and the two-spoke steering column. Newer parts include a Dakota
digital dashboard and a chrome Ididit steering column. Overall, the
instrument panel and inner door panels are in very good order.
Completing the interior is an Alpine AM/FM stereo with CD player
below the original factory AM radio. The 1951 Fords featured an
optional Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission for the first time.
Ford finally answered the Chevrolet Bel Air and Plymouth Belvedere
charge with the Victoria hardtop in 1951, borrowing the term from
the victoria carriage. The car was an instant hit, outselling the
Chevrolet by nearly 10 percent. The Crestliner continued for one
more year, however. The pillarless superstructure was styled by
Gordon M. Buehrig, of Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg fame, who had come to
Dearborn after leaving the Loewy team at Studebaker. All 1951 Fords
sported a new "dual-bullet" grille and heavy chrome bumpers. This
year Ford also added a new "turn-key" ignition. Front suspension is
independent coil springs. Documentation includes original owner's
manual and extensive documents on the vehicle; receipts, invoices
and more. Competition to this Victoria in 1951 included Chevy's
Bel-Air, Dodge's Coronet, Hudson's Hornet, Kaiser's Deluxe Club
Coupe, Mercury's Sport Coupe, Nash's Ambassador Custom Club Coupe,
Oldsmobile's 98 and Pontiac's Chieftain. If you're seeking a
