For Sale: 1954 Ford Crestline in Concord, North Carolina

This 1954 Ford Victoria is a different build with a fantastic hardtop profile, upgraded V8, four-on-the-floor, and a unique take on a full custom cruiser exterior.

When you want a cool-looking custom, the Victoria is the right place to start. Its pillarless hardtop design with wraparound rear window is a premium feature that makes this far rarer than the standard coupe. This personalized coupe has added touches like shaved door handles, a louvered hood, smoothie wheels, and frenched tail lights. Like any good 1950s coupe, this one has plenty of hand-laid pinstriping. While the window trim and the bumpers give you nice classic brightwork, our favorite piece might be the grille, which kind of looks like it akin to the Thunderbird that would debut in 1955. It's all set against a cool burgundy. The paint sets an exciting tone for the car with the right amount of age, and the rest of the details follow suit. It makes for the weathered lowrider look that happened back when these were true cruisers. So while you may update the paint or polish the bumpers, this one seems to capture a cool/classic era.

The remote door openers are on a key fob, so this one can show off its distinction even when you're a few feet away from the car. The two-tone black and white are particularly distinctive on the tuck and roll seats. And the rest of the interior is color-coordinated, right down to the trunk. Like the exterior, this is not perfect. It's just a relaxed look and an easy cruiser vibe. That's why there are some thoughtful upgrades, like the flame-kissed custom steering wheel that's mounted on a tilt steering column. The auxiliary readouts are quite crisp and clear. And the column-mounted tach is quite a handy piece to go with the floor shifter.

The thunderbird-style grille might not have been pure coincidence. This one has been upgraded under the hood to a 292 cubic-inch Y-block similar to what was available in the first-gen T-bird. And the upgrades don't stop there. You also have a Holley four-barrel carburetor with an electric choke and an MSD ignition. It makes for a classic powerhouse that fires up eagerly and inhales deeper. So it makes for a fun cruiser, especially with the control of the four-speed manual transmission.

This premium Victoria hardtop has been upgraded to a true custom cruiser style. So it makes for a unique street machine that has earned its place on the boulevard. Call now!
