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
