1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner – Award-Winning Glass-Top V8 with Ford-O-Matic in Original Colors

Platt Motors is proud to present this beautifully refurbished and multiple award-winning 1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner — a one-year-only offering that captured America’s postwar passion for innovation, elegance, and the open road.

Finished in its factory-correct Sherwood Green with Snowhite top (color code GM) and featuring a period-correct green-and-white interior (trim code AF), this Skyliner is both stylish and rare. It’s a true jet-age cruiser with a stunning presentation.

Under the hood is Ford’s new-for-1954 239 cubic inch Y-block OHV V8, producing 130 horsepower. It’s mated to the optional Ford-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth, effortless cruising. This engine and transmission combo marked a turning point in Ford’s history — a shift toward modern performance and convenience.

But what truly sets this Crestline apart is its signature feature: the green-tinted Plexiglas roof panel, exclusive to the Skyliner model. This futuristic canopy floods the cabin with light and offers a unique open-sky driving experience. The roof panel is in excellent condition, with no signs of typical hazing or cracking — a rare find among surviving examples.

Built on April 16, 1954, at Ford’s San Jose, California plant (VIN: U4RF-120445), this car has been restored with great attention to authenticity. It retains its factory-correct color scheme, interior layout, trim, and mechanical integrity.

It’s not just a pretty face — this Skyliner is a proven show winner, having earned multiple First Place awards at the prestigious Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo, one of Northern California’s best-known vintage car showcases. It’s a true crowd-pleaser that performs as beautifully as it presents.
