1954 Ford Crestline Sunliner

The GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1954 Ford Sunliner convertible for your consideration. This Sunliner comes with a clean red paint job with very nice chrome complemented by a matching red interior. Powering this Ford is a rebuilt 239ci V8 paired to a smooth-shifting rebuilt automatic transmission (both the motor and the trans were rebuilt less than 2500 miles ago). This Ford comes with a new power top motor, new 12-volt wiring, a new alternator, a nice power top, new exhaust, new shocks, and new tires. So if you are in the market for a fun little cruiser this is the Ford for you! Please call or email us today for more information.

The long-lived flathead V8 engine was replaced for 1954 by a 239 cubic inch overhead valve Y-block unit, marking the end of an era. This engine produced 130 hp (97 kW) with a two-barrel carburetor. An impressive 160 hp (119 kW) 256 CI version with a Holley four-barrel was available in the official-use-only law enforcement model. The six-cylinder was up to 223 cu in (3.7 L) and now produced 115 hp.⁹ Another new addition was the "Crestline Skyliner" two-door hardtop, which featured an acrylic glass panel over the front half of the roof. Also added was the new "Astra-Dial Control Panel" speedometer, which has a clear, plastic covering on the top, which let sunlight illuminate it in the day-time.¹⁰¹¹ New power accessories included a four-way power front seat.² The "woody" Country Squire wagon now used artificial fiberglass panels but remained the most expensive Ford.
