No Reserve - 1954 Ford Crestline Victoria V8 , 51k, Rare Sedan, Three Speed Automatic This is a cool, original and complete 54 Ford Crestline Victoria Sedan with the 239 V8. This Ford Sedan features options such as bumper protectors, AM radio, MagicAire system, rear blower defrost (works but noisy) and dashboard clock. The electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volt. There were many improvements for the 1954 model. This is from conceptcarz.com: 1954 was a successful year for Ford, as it introduced a host of new technology and styling advances. With their slogan 'More than ever, the standard for the American road,' Ford was intent on becoming the leader in the low-priced, entry-level market. There were also major mechanical improvements new for 1946: In 1954, Ford introduced their all-new, overhead-valve 'Y-block' V8 engine. The unit displaced 239-cubic inches and had a 7.8:1 compression ratio. Horsepower increased by nearly 25 percent than that of the old flathead, powered by a 239 cubic-inch V8 engine offering 130 horsepower. There is an engine-tuned instrument panel, an AM radio and the Ford-O-Matic automatic gearbox. The car is There are four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes and an independent front suspension. I bought the Ford from an old hot rodder who had had it since the late 70's and was moving. He told me the engine and transmission have about 10k on them, my mechanic says it drives and sounds like a rebuilt drivetrain. Recent work includes new exhaust with the "cherrybomb" muffler (as seen in the pix), brakes, tuneup with points and coil, fuel lines and fuel pump and belts and hoses. The lights work, the heater works but the switch is intermittent, the works once in a while but needs a new speaker. Clock and AM radio do not work, horn does. Modern stereo mounted under dash. All the glass is in very good shape, all windows work, one small crack at the corner of one of the driver's window. The driver's rear brake cylinder has gotten sticky at times, will need to be replaced. The interior is original, nicer seat covers on the car now, door panels are discolored and a bit frayed but complete, headliner will need to be redone. The car was painted black with a satin finish, it was originally blue. The pix in the sun were taken shortly after the car was painted about 4 years ago. The bumpers were painted a metallic silver, front bumper has a dent behind the driver's side bumper guard. Small spots of corrosion in a couple of places but the floors trunk and frame are solid. The engine runs off a 10 gallon marine fuel cell in the trunk. I have the original tank which needs to be boiled out but these days reproductions are a much cheaper solution. The original hubcaps are back on the car now with fairly new Michelin tires. The paint looks good from 10 feet but could use a professional repaint, the previous owner did it himself. I will include the American Racing wheels in the pix for an additional $500. It's a fun car to drive! She starts up immediately even after sitting, the acceleration is good, she shifts easy and the ride is good for an all orginal car from 1954. This is a cool looking, good running old ratrod Ford and wouldn't take much to get perfect. From what I've seen the 54 Ford mostly came as coupes, it's hard to find a four door. No leaks from anywhere, garage floor always dry when I pull her out. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Ford is for sale locally and I'm willing to accept reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. Nice 50's hot rod which could use some flames and Cragars, perfect for cruise nights. Any questions feel free to email or call 914-224-3230 |

Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock
Fri, Jun 12 2015Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo
Sun, 27 Apr 2014When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.
Matt Damon is Carroll Shelby, with Christian Bale in Ford vs. Ferrari film
Thu, Jun 21 2018Right after we reported that one of the Le Mans-winning Ford GT40s is coming up for auction, word got round that its story will now be turned into a Hollywood movie. There will be an as-yet-untitled major motion picture that tells the story of Ford battling Ferrari in the 1960s, culminating in the Ford GT40's dramatic 1-2-3 finish in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. The movie has lined up an all-star cast, with "Batman" and "American Psycho" actor Christian Bale tapped to play key GT40 developer, test driver and racer Ken Miles, and "Punisher" actor Jon Bernthal as Lee Iacocca. The plum role of Carroll Shelby is going to Matt Damon, last seen driving across the Red Planet in "The Martian" or down a flight of stairs in the "Bourne" film series. The film's director will be James Mangold, known from directing last year's "Logan." View 37 Photos Autoweek reports that the original screenplay was based on A.J. Baime's book " Go Like Hell," but there will be a different screenplay written from scratch. Originally, "Go Like Hell" was to be a different project starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Meanwhile, the book will reportedly be turned into a TV series produced by Peter Dinklage of "Game of Thrones." And meanwhile some more, there are also competing Enzo Ferrari biopics in the works starring Robert De Niro and another starring Hugh Jackman that will also surely touch on the rivalry with Ford. While there's no guarantee yet that the GT40 biopic will match Steve McQueen's "Le Mans," we're got high hopes. It's a great story worthy of all the attention it's getting.
