Dang, this Crown Vic is gorgeous! We acquired it from a very
well-respected Ford collector. He has had many, many outstanding
Fords from the 1950s and this was the one he kept the longest- 26
years! As a matter of fact, as he aged, he let the others go but
clung onto this one, his last one.
EXTERIOR: Again, it is a knockout! It's a handsome body but the
trim is what really makes it. The sweeping side molding makes it
look like a dart shooting forward. The "basket handle" trim over
the roof is totally unique and divides the roof or the glass roof.
Plus, all of the other trim on the car from the big grill and
bumper up front to the rocker moldings and stone shields on the
sides and the extended rear bumper with built in exhaust ports.
Then of course it has the optional continental kit plus a rear
mount antenna and fender skirts. The body is clean, straight and
has proven itself, it was restored at least 30 years ago! The 2
tone red and black combination is stunning and has a smooth glossy
finish. I mentioned the sparkling trim on the car, how about those
chrome wire wheels, they are the icing on the cake. We just put new
radial white walls on the car.
INTERIOR: The red and black interior is a perfect match to the
exterior. Down on the floor it has bright red carpet with
embroidered mats. The reproduction upholstery and door panels look
practically new. It has a working power seat! Upgraded above the
headliner and visors look new and the dome light works. Of course,
it's half a headliner, the see through top is the other half! The
metal trim is painted, and the dash area looks great.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has a smooth running 292 that starts right
up every time. It is all stock with its teapot 4 barrel carb, stock
air cleaner and Thunderbird script valve covers. Everything is
proper and clean. The washer bag is hooked up, the battery is
secured, and it is the first year for 12 volt system.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The spare tire swings out of the way to open the
trunk. Inside is clean metal painted all black. It has a
reproduction mat, whitewall spare and a jack.
UNDERSIDE: It is rock solid, the floors, braces and frame are clean
and were freshened up with black paint. Mechanically it has been
maintained as needed. Dual exhaust has old school Smithy mufflers
that exits through the bumper.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and installed new radial white walls
and recalibrated the speedometer.
Talk about bang for the buck, this car will turn heads everywhere
it goes! It's artwork you can drive!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
