1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner
America’s most beautiful 1953 Ford Crestline “Sunliner” Convertible. This frame-off build since completed has 2850 miles original miles showing are 15295. The build has been meticulous down to the slight detail. To say Show ready is an understatement. This 50th Anniversary Crestline is a testament to dedication and perseverance. A work of love.
The extraordinary Coral Flame Red paint grabs attention immediately. The shine and sparkle from all new chrome and bright work is breath taking. The bold and beautiful grille is the keynote feature of FORD’s sparkling 1953. The ’53 Ford brings the longer, lower, wider look that set the new styling trend of the day. The ’53 set the standard for riding in comfort and roominess a cross-country or short, around-town equally true delight. The High-Compression 110 HP Strato-Star 239ci Flathead V8 masters the demands of today’s fast-flowing traffic with ease. The 239ci is the smoothest and most spirited engine of its day. All the original markings and labels are back to factory specs. The manual 3-Speed with Overdrive is smooth and tight. The overdrive lets your Ford V8 think its loaf along at 35mph when your car’s doing 65mph! This saves gas dollar, lengthens engine life and makes driving more relaxing. The dual exhaust gives that unmistakable V8 rumble. The ’53 power steering also known as Balanced-Easy steering combines symmetrical linkage and triple-tooth roller and worm gear to take the work out of steering…make parking in tight places unbelievably easy.
When you take off for the open spaces the thrill that gives more instant satisfaction than wind blowing through your hair? The powered convertible canvas top is a breeze to put up or down. One center lock on windshield and a push or pull lever is all it takes…easy! The dash instrumentation has been all restored with new lenses and chrome…stunning. Working chrome spotlight with inner handle. Even the Custom Auto Radio with push button tuning (FAC-18805-B) by FORD Genuine Accessories works! Your FORD is equipped with the “MagicAire System” the all-weather, all-season, all climate comfort. Warm as toast in winter or refreshing breeze in summer. The black and red leather interior harmonize with exterior Coral Flame Red color. This beauty even has a windshield washer!
What stands-out more than classic wide white tires! Red steel rims and full wheel hubcaps. The ride of the ’53 is thanks to a 2-inch wider front tread, rubber-cushioned front suspension with Hydra-Coil Springs. The frame is a K-Bar for greater twist-resisting strength to 5-cross member, and box-section frame. Let’s not over look variable-rate rear suspension that has extra-long semi-elliptic springs and Viscous Control rear shocks.
