Vehicle Description
Classic lines with modern flair - that's the first impression you
get with this 1953 Ford Crestline roadster restomod. And if that
wasn't already attractive enough, you lift the hood to discover a
fuel-injected 5.0 V8 that is supercharged for serious roadster
power.
The matte black instantly sets a hot rod tone. But as you look at
its even application, you can see it was thoughtfully done. And
that is the overall theme of this one: a street machine with extra
thought in its custom creation. The trim was expertly deleted, and
the rear was fully smoothed so that the hint of tailfin and bumper
now are one continuous piece. And the front is especially cool
where the bumper and grille were painted silver, but the famous
bullet nose is left in chrome for added distinction. Another nice
piece of brightwork is the set of upgraded alloy wheels. Even with
the lowered stance, you can recognize the aggressive 18/20-inch
front/rear stagger. And of course, there's the roadster body. The
roof was completely removed, the gaps were smoothed, and you have a
smooth custom rear boot.
Because this car now stays open to the world, they made sure to
give the interior a unique style. The back returns as the main
color, but now it's joined by a vibrant red on the dash and
steering wheel. The red also helps show off how this is more of a
driver-oriented machine. For example, the front cloth seat covers
are a nice piece to have on a sunny day, and they highlight how
this has been upgraded to front bucket seats. And the red center
console running in-between also draws your attention to the floor
shifter. There are auxiliary readouts, a shift light, and a tilt
steering column for more cruiser-ready features. This even has an
upgraded AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth for the best in modern
driving music.
The body is a classic Ford and so is the motor, but it benefits
from decades of progress. It's the almighty Five-Oh that's done
with fuel injection for the best in power and consistency. And
speaking of constant power, the V8 has a Vortech supercharger (it
gives this the kind of voodoo power that you may want to nickname
this one "Black Magic.") It's built with the right components like
a full MSD ignition package specifically built for supercharger
timing. And a header package that feeds into an X-pipe dual
exhaust. The upgrade to a five-speed manual transmission lets you
fully harness this enhanced power. As you look underneath, you can
see a Mustang II-style independent front end, rack & pinion
steering, and front disc brakes. It makes for a solid base for an
awesome cruiser. And the fundamentals are there if you want to take
the suspension up a level for a true performance restomod.
Unique, interesting, and absolutely memorable, this custom 1953
Ford Crestline roadster is the no-top, all-fun custom cruiser.
