Excellent driving car with head tuning good looks * Back in the
fifties the automobile competition was getting so strong that all
of the manufactures were trying to find any feature that would lure
potential customers into showrooms across the country. If you could
get journalist to recognize your cars and do write ups on unique
features they at least had a shot at getting your attention. Such
was the case with the 13,144 Skyliners built in 1954. Based on the
2 door hardtop Crestline body the glass roof panel got allot of
attention because it was new to the industry for mass produced,
affordable cars. The example you see here came to us from Southern
California where it spent most of it's life. We purchased it as a
nice running and driving car where all of the mechanicals and paint
had been redone. We installing all of the trim, interior, and
finishing the trunk compartment. The solid body lent itself to a
very nice restoration and ACG is proud to offer this fine car. It
runs and drives terrific with a rebuilt power train featuring the
new for 54 over head valve 239 c.i.d. V-8 mated to a smooth
shifting 3 speed manual transmission. The refurbished chassis gives
it a smooth comfortable ride. It was restored to original specs
without a bunch of modifications. It has manual steering but steers
easily due to having the steering box rebuilt with all of the other
suspension components. Ford styling was really coming into it's own
in 1954 and the famous Skyliner is one of the most desirable Ford
of the fifties. Make this one yours and enjoy classic cruising like
never before. This car turns every heads at the cruise nights and
car shows. Low rate, long term financing is easily available along
with cheap collector car insurance and professional delivery. *
