Crestline represented the top-line variant of Ford’s 1952 Ford range, sitting above the Customline and Mainline variants. Yes, naming sequences in those days were a little different. On top of that, the Crestline could be had in Victoria (2-door hardtop), the aptly-named Sunliner (two-door convertible) or Country Squire station wagon body styles. So, you can glean that today’s 1953 Ford Crestline Victoria is a two-door hardtop, then. Coming from Troutdale, Oregon, this Fifties beauty hides some modern mechanicals and creature comforts.
This 1953 Ford Crestline Victoria comes painted in a dark blue shade, and sits pretty on a set of aftermarket mag-style alloy wheels in silver. Long, low and coveting chrome embellishments, this car is the very embodiment of Fifties Americana. Its bulbous front and rear profiles, circular lamps and wrap-around windshields are all reminders of an era where cinemas were drive-through affairs, bench seats were common up front, and computers were just becoming known. The interior of this 1953 Ford Crestline Victoria comes in blue as well, and yes, the front seat is a bench albeit a two-piece affair for better ergonomics and adjustability. The rear seat is a traditional one-piece bench and there’s a set of aftermarket speakers visible on the rear parcel shelf. That’s because this car’s entertainment capabilities have been expanded thanks to the aftermarket Kenwood Excelon head unit with a CD player, USB port and AUX input. Furthermore, there’s air conditioning too, so that no-one needs to sweat it out when the weather is warm outside. Pop the trunk and you’ll notice a subwoofer there as well, for better sound quality and thumping tunes. Yet, not all of the interior has been modified. The windows remain wind-up affairs, the mirrors are still adjusted by hand, and the original gauge cluster and dash remain largely intact.
This 1953 Ford Crestline Victoria uses a 302ci V8 and Ford running gears for it, mated with a C4 automatic gearbox. There’s a Ford differential as well, powering the rear wheels. Given that the biggest engine for the Crestline at the time was a 239ci Y-Block V8, the 302 unit represents a useful increase in power and drivability.
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.

Ford gives its Mustang pony car plenty of gallop straight from the factory. But what if you want a raging racehorse instead? Well, that’s where you’d need to venture into the realm of Shelby. Shelby Mustangs are worshipped and revered as some of the most potent around, ever since Carroll Shelby looked at the first-generation Mustang and decided to work his magic on it. Now, Shelby Mustangs roll out of the Ford factory itself, in tribute to the great man who sadly left us some years back. Today, we have a 2020 Ford Mustang GT350 for sale from Gilbert, Arizona with just 5,900 miles to its name. What’s even nicer is that it’s been tuned by Lund Racing and features a supercharger installed on to its 5.2-liter V8. This, the 6-speed manual transmission and many more things make this the ultimate performance Mustang for the discerning driving enthusiast.
One of the most popular hot rod platforms turns out to be classic Ford and Chevy automobiles from the Twenties and Thirties – that’s 1920 and 1930 for you!

Back to the subject car, it’s a 1933 Ford Model 40 Hot Rod that started life off as a stylish and dependable two-door coupe but has since undergone a comprehensive rebuild into the form you see here. Up for sale in Cabot, Arkansas, it boasts just over 13,000 miles since rebirth and comes with a 350 under the hood, mated with a Turbo 350 and of course, rear-wheel drive! Join us as we take you on a trip through its essence and you’ll be convinced as to why you should snap it up.
One of the best ways to experience a classic car is to cruise down in town with a drop-top first-generation Ford Mustang. You’ll be guaranteed to receive smiles, waves and general gestures of appreciation because who doesn’t love a Mustang? Introduced in 1964, the Mustang created a class of car called the pony car, and also facilitated an entire culture of happy, carefree cruising. Drop-top examples like this 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible are most facilitative of this culture, and will definitely invoke fond memories from many of those who were around at the time. Heck, even the new generation will love the car’s simplicity and characterful nature. This particular pony is up for sale in Westlake, Louisiana with 7,337 miles on the clock, we’re told. It’s also been fitted with aftermarket air conditioning, a retro stereo, a new convertible top and new whitewall tires too!
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
