Vehicle Description
A distinct cruiser style, correct V8 power, and true value price
all make this 1954 Ford Customline Tudor a great classic built to
be enjoyed.
The paint on this one sets the tone right. You have a dark matte
green and more glossy white. It's a cool looking contrast that
gives the car a bit of a rockabilly vibe. This is furthered by
details like the side window visors and top-mount rear view mirror.
Even the upgraded 17-inch wheels are done in a classic cruiser
torque thrust design. It's all aged-in correctly with patina in the
paint and chrome. But you can see the look is very purposeful on a
car that's quite complete - right down to the Ford family crest
badges and full-length Crestline trim. So while you can use the
value price to leave room in your budget to create a shining
classic, we already like the attitude this one has right now.
The sea of green continues inside. It has the right level of
worn-in feeling that goes with this car's attitude, but you also
have some good details like nice upholstery and the artful two-tone
door panels. These Fords came from the factory with the
machine-turned dash and Plexiglas window speedometer. They're
sporty pieces that would be seen the next year on cars like the
Thunderbird. And this one takes it up a notch with the sports
steering wheel and Hurst floor shifter.
This was a special year at Ford. It was the debut of the new
overhead valve V8. In fact, the U4 in the VIN tells you that the
239 cubic-inch powerplant is the factory-correct motor for this
Ford. This even has a year-correct block! Like the rest of the car,
it likes to have a classic and purposeful presentation. But as you
dig a little deeper, you also see that this has some nice upgrades,
like the 12-volt electrical system and a newer carb. That's why
this remains a strong runner today. The dual exhaust has the right
tune for this car's attitude, and you get full control over it all
with the three-speed manual transmission. Plus, the upgraded wheel
package means you get to fit better modern tires. So this is a true
cruiser.
Enjoy the distinct style of this Customline for what it is today,
and let the value price keep your imagination going for all the fun
you can have in the days ahead. Call now!
