Vehicle Description
This 1954 Ford Customline was upgraded with the right pieces,
including a cool paint package, V8 power, adjustable rear air ride,
and true cruiser features. So dig into the details of an all-around
distinctive classic that was built to be enjoyed to the
fullest.
The glossy kiwi-like green with a tan roof is the kind of cool
combo that makes you love a proper 1950s machine. But you can tell
from the pictures the two-tone is just a foundation for a full
custom paint package. The green is used as a canvas for the silver
metallic side stripe package. The blue pinstripes not only defines
these graphics, but the same blue was also used to create the
hand-painted pinstripe art on the trunk. And we love how the green
stripes on the tan highlight the roof profile and unite the full
color theme. Deleted trim, shaved door handles, and REAL lake pipes
are all part of street machine custom. And we love how the rear
suspension is on an adjustable air red control so that you can
dial-in a lowrider stance on demand. There are also good classic
details, like shining chrome on the bumpers, a wraparound grille,
and rear fender skirts. And the headlights basically looked
Frenched directly from the factory in 1954. As you look through the
full package inside and out, you get the impression of a vehicle
that likes to be a driver rather than a museum piece. It gives this
kind of feeling in the details, like the modern tread hiding behind
the whitewall style in the tires.
The interior has a classic style and good upgrades. You have two
wide bench seats done in a comfy cloth. And the coordinating black
carpeting, headliner, and dash have the clean look of a driver's
car. Plus, you have an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input that lets you
plug in your phone and listen to your ideal cruising music. We like
that they kept classic features like the machine-turned dash and
the plexiglass "window" speedometer. And that's supplemented by
nice driver-oriented upgrades like the sports steering wheel, a
polished tilt column, integrated auxiliary readouts, and a Lokar
floor shifter.
While Ford Y-block V8s were nice to have back in the day, this one
gets an extra kick of power from a larger and younger 302
cubic-inch V8. It's built with the right pieces, like an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock performer 289 intake, and
headers. There are nice supporting components like an HEI
distributor, newer wires, and an aluminum radiator with electric
fan. The V8 is mated to a C4 three-speed automatic transmission for
easy driving. This still likes to give you the old-school kind of
cruiser feeling for the road, and that's what makes it a nice
classic. After all, when you open up the lake pipes, there's a
terrific rumble that turns back the clock to when The Boulevard
means something.
This is the true classic Ford that has been given plenty of the
right investment for a true classic cruiser style. So if you love
an individual style that's built for enjoying, call today!!!
