Vehicle Description
This 1954 Ford Crestline Sunliner Convertible is a beautifully
restored, mid-fifties cruiser that anybody can enjoy! 1954 marked a
major shift for the Ford Motor Company. For the first time in the
company's history, it moved away from the L-Head V8 design that
drove the company's success for the past 20+ years. In 1954, Ford
introduced its brand-new overhead valve V8 design (one year ahead
of rival Chevrolet) and that leap forward in engine design would
propel the FoMoCo to even greater heights. The new OHV V8 produced
more horsepower than the now outdated Ford Flatty and the new
overhead valve V8 was well-received by and quite popular amongst
consumers. Of the 3 trim levels for Ford in 1954, the Crestline was
the top of the line model with upgraded exterior trim and the
plushest interiors. On top of the Crestline trim level was the
Sunliner Convertible body style, which was one of the most
expensive Fords in the day. This particular Crestline Sunliner
comes to us from the warm climates of the south where it spent the
nearly last 15 years. Under the hood on this Sunliner Convertible
is an upgraded 292 Cubic Inch V8 paired with a single 2 barrel
carburetor which provides more power than what was available back
in 1954. The NOM 292 V8 is mated to an Automatic Transmission
ensuring that just about anybody can take this classic Ford for a
spin around the block. This '54 Ford is also outfitted with power
steering which makes getting in and out of those tight parking
spaces much easier and improves the overall drivability of the car.
Dual exhaust gives this Sunliner Convertible a nice throaty sound.
Additionally, the original 6 volt electrical system was upgraded
under previous ownership to a more modern and more reliable 12 Volt
electrical system for improved startup and electrical output. The
exterior on this 1954 Crestline has been refinished in beautiful
Torch Red which truly stands out in a crowd. The white vinyl power
convertible top is in wonderful condition and easily goes up and
down with the simple push of a button. This 1954 Ford rides on 4
wide whitewall tires adorned with full wheel covers and the rear
wheels are tucked behind a classy pair of fender skirts. A
rear-mounted continental kit completes the classic fifties exterior
look of this Ford. The interior on this Crestline Sunliner has a
fantastic look. The front and rear bench seats are in superb shape
having been reupholstered in red and white vinyl. The dash, door
panels and steering wheel all appear to be in their stock
configuration and are in wonderful condition. The dash is equipped
with a 110 MPH speedometer, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge as
well as a clock and upgraded entertainment system. Whether you're
looking to buy your very first classic car or you're a 50s Ford
