First place AACA Junior winner 2016. Loaded with factory options.
Loaded with eye appeal! Only 1,945 miles since a 6 year body off
frame restoration. It was the cover car of Automobile Quarterly
April 2006.
EXTERIOR: Absolutely stunning in my opinion. I'm in love with this
car- the bright red and all those accessories make this one
special. The body is amazing, laser straight from every angle. No
dents, bubbles or issues. The paint looks like it's liquid red
glass. It is polished so smooth and glossy. The chrome and
stainless is beautiful- straight and shiny and there's plenty of
it! Glass is clear, weatherstrips, gaskets and window seals were
replaced. It has a rich looking black cloth convertible power top
with the red bound edges. The convertible top frame has been
restored, new cloth wrapped rubber strips. Door jambs are painted
real nice, new sill plates. Reproduction Firestone white walls are
on red painted rims with mint condition hubcaps. Here is a list of
accessories- Coronado tire on the trunk, dual spotlights with
mirrors, rocker moldings, stone shields, door handle gaurds, bumper
gaurds, rear mount deluxe antenna, fender skirts, reverse lights
and the flying bird hood ornament. That alone is rare, there's two
on eBay- one for $1,249 and then there's one that needs to be
rechromed for $500.
INTERIOR: Restored to look factory new. I'm sitting on seats that
are nice and firm, cushions are excellent. They have been
completely reupholstered front and back, the door panels were
completely new arm rests and door handles. New carpet, visors,
brake pedal and all the metal trim is painted. The knobs, heater
control panel, machine turned trim are all excellent. It is loaded
up inside too. Rare on a Ford- power windows and seat! Also radio,
clock, under dash light, day-night mirror.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Looks like the day it was new. The all new for
1954 overhead valve V-8 Y block motor. They retired the flathead.
It purrs. It is also painted nice, the valve covers and air cleaner
are restored down to the proper decals. It has the correct Ford
stamps on the hoses and reproduction clamps. The whole compartment
is painted glossy finishes. Has the hood insulation. It features
power steering and power brakes. It even has a correct reproduction
battery. Right down to the last bolt it looks new.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: All metal painted gloss red. The correct rubber
mat, side panels and well liner were replaced. It has a 5th
matching Firestone whitewall tire on a red painted rim that has
never been used. The jack assembly is restored and mounted
properly. New weatherstrip and decal.
UNDERSIDE: Body was off the frame. The entire chassis was rebuilt
and detailed. Balljoints, bushings, shocks and springs were
replaced. Steering components were replaced. The bottom of the
motor is extra clean. It has the Ford-o-matic transmission, also
clean. In back it has a 3.54 gear in a detailed rear end. It has a
nicely installed dual exhaust system. The fuel system was restored.
Brakes were restored, has replaced lines and e-brake cables. The
chassis was reunited with the body with new bushings. The bottom of
the body has factory sound deadener on it.
True story, I was going to drive the car home so I reached in and
turned the key to see if the battery was good, it fired up
instantly! My son manages the showrooms and said that car always
starts like that. It's a pleasure to drive. An automatic with power
steering and brakes make it easy. I really felt special driving in
this one. That's because this one is so special, cant compare to
most of the others out there. Find one with these options in this
color and in this condition, or I should say try to find one!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
