The Ford Crestline was the top tier trim for Ford’s 1952 range. It came in a wide variety of forms, including as a hardtop, a convertible (called the Sunliner), a sedan and a station wagon. The series was made for just three model years before 1955’s Fairlane series took over. Today, the Crestline and its Mainline and Customline siblings are largely overlooked as classics, since the Fairlane steals all the limelight when you consider Fifties Fords. That’s why you should really give this 1954 Ford Crestline Sunliner Convertible Restomod a chance. It’s a lovely restomod effort with a punchy 381ci bored-over V8, a Tremec manual gearbox, a custom interior, air conditioning, and so much more to make every drive as wonderful as possible.
