transmission, this cute Customline has radial tires and is ready
for cruising! Mostly original car with the exception of one older
repaint that presents very well. Excellent way to get into the
hobby without breaking the bank. Updated aluminum radiator keeps
her cool in the heat of summer and seller states she can run 60 mph
all day long on the two lanes without using any oil. New battery in
2020. Sweet sounding dual exhaust with that awesome flathead
rumble! First year for the body style! Financing/Shipping
available, and we sell worldwide!
Ford introduced all-new models for 1952, beating rival Chevrolet to
the punch by a full year. The Customline became the company's
mid-market entry, and it featured a more modern style. Wraparound
windshield, curved rear glass, a modified grille, and more
ornamentation to break up the earlier "Shoebox" Ford's slab sides
gave the new Customline a fresh look.
The Customline came standard with an overhead-valve six-cylinder
that displaced 215 cid and made 101 hp.
An optional 239-cid L-head engine using a two-barrel carburetor was
available, with this choice lending 110 hp to the driver. A
three-speed manual transmission was standard, while overdrive and
Ford-O-Matic were optional with either motor. Body styles included
a club coupe, Tudor and Fordor sedans, and a four-door Country
Sedan station wagon. The base price for a Customline in 1952 was in
the neighborhood of $1,700. The Ford Customline was extremely
popular, with nearly three million leaving assembly lines. Any
Customline is relatively easy to maintain assuming rust and rot are
kept in check. All in all, the car is an affordable way to
experience a mainstream 1950s American car.
