Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1952 Ford Crestline Sunliner is finished in vibrant Candy Apple Red, a color that perfectly complements the flowing lines and chrome-laden styling that defined Ford’s early-1950s design language. A black convertible soft top provides an attractive contrast to the bright exterior finish, while the chrome hood ornament, chrome windshield surround, full wheel covers, and wide whitewall tires enhance the car’s period-correct appearance. From its distinctive front grille to its elegant body contours, this Sunliner captures the charm and sophistication that made Ford’s flagship convertible such a popular choice among buyers of the era. The interior of this 1952 Ford Crestline Sunliner features a striking red and black color combination that creates a sporty yet inviting atmosphere. A wide front bench seat provides ample room for passengers, while the dashboard retains many of its original design elements, including a factory push-button radio and an in-dash clock. The Magic Air heater system adds comfort for cooler drives, and the simple, uncluttered layout reflects the straightforward elegance of 1950s American automobiles. With the top lowered, occupants can fully appreciate the open-air driving experience that made convertibles like the Sunliner symbols of freedom and adventure.
Engine
Under the hood of this 1952 Ford Crestline Sunliner resides Ford’s legendary 239ci Flathead V8, an engine that played a pivotal role in establishing V8 performance as an attainable feature for American motorists. Fed by a 2-barrel carburetor and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, the Flathead delivers smooth power and a distinctive exhaust note that enthusiasts continue to appreciate decades later. Power is sent to the rear wheels, creating a classic driving experience that connects the driver directly to the road. Reliable, simple, and historically significant, the Flathead V8 remains one of the most celebrated engines of the postwar era and serves as the perfect companion for this iconic Ford convertible.
Ford’s Crestline represented the top of the company’s passenger car lineup during the early 1950s, and the Skyliner remains one of the most recognizable variants thanks to its distinctive factory-tinted transparent roof panel. This 1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the charm that made these cars so memorable. Showing approximately 57,814 miles, it blends classic 1950s styling with a more dependable 302ci Ford V8, making it an appealing choice for enthusiasts who appreciate vintage looks paired with improved drivability. Finished in an eye-catching Coral exterior over a matching White and Coral interior, this Skyliner stands out wherever it goes and is ready to be enjoyed at cruises, local shows, or weekend drives.

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.
This 1930 Ford Model A Phaeton Hot Rod takes the simplicity of early Ford design and turns it into a traditional open-wheel hot rod with a strong period-inspired attitude. Finished in red over a tan interior, it is powered by a 350ci V8 topped with triple 2-barrel carburetors and paired with an automatic transmission. The chopped top has been removed, leaving a more open profile beneath the tan convertible soft top, while the exposed engine, staggered aftermarket wheels, dropped front axle, and side-exit exhaust give the car the unmistakable stance and mechanical presence enthusiasts expect from a classic hot rod build.
This 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop is the kind of early pony car that gets straight to the point: a compact coupe, a small-block Ford V8, a four-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive. Showing approximately 17,433 miles, this example is finished in Caspian Blue over a black reupholstered interior and keeps the classic Mustang recipe intact while adding just enough personalization to make it feel more driver-focused. The 289ci V8, Hurst shifter, manual gearbox, and clean first-generation styling give it the sort of analog character that makes these cars so enjoyable even decades later.
This 1967 Ford Mustang GTA Restomod takes the classic first-generation Mustang formula and adds a serious catalog of modern performance and comfort upgrades. Showing approximately 301 miles, this example has received an extensive refresh centered around a 347ci Blueprint Engines stroker V8 rated at 440 horsepower, an AOD heavy-duty performance automatic, and a 3.55 Posi-Traction rear differential. Its mechanical upgrades are matched by a thoroughly updated cabin with Procar reclining seats, Dakota Digital instrumentation, Vintage Air, power windows, and a modernized audio system, making this a far more capable and usable take on the original GTA recipe.
This 1956 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a clean Tri-Five build with the kind of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that make these cars genuinely fun to drive. Showing approximately 3,050 miles, it features a custom Green and White paint job over a reupholstered Brown leather interior and is powered by a 383ci Summit Racing crate V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has been positioned 1.5 inches forward, while Sanderson headers, a 3.90 Posi-Traction rear end, power-assisted disc brakes, electric cooling, and an aluminum radiator give the car a far more capable setup than a stock 150. Add Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, a trunk-mounted battery, 17-inch mag wheels, and an upgraded sound system, and this is a well-rounded restomod that blends classic Tri-Five style with much more modern road manners.
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. Its 364ci Nailhead V8 was overhauled, the Dynaflow automatic was rebuilt, and the car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
This 1971 Dodge Charger Restomod Super Bee Tribute brings together the aggressive third-generation Charger shape, period-inspired Super Bee styling, and a thoroughly updated big-block drivetrain. Showing approximately 62,213 miles, it is finished in Vitamin C Orange with a Black vinyl roof and Black interior, while the current owner reports that the car underwent a rotisserie build. The centerpiece is a 440ci V8 fitted with FiTech electronic fuel injection and a Mancini Racing Six Pack intake, backed by a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic and an 8¾-inch Sure Grip rear end with 3.55 gears. Add in the N96 Air Grabber system, AMD bulge hood, Rallye instrumentation, Slap Stik shifter, and Super Bee graphics, and this tribute captures the visual attitude of Mopar’s muscle-car era with a more usable modernized fuel system.
