Overview of 1954 Ford Crestline Sunliner Convertible For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

This classic Fifties Ford comes dressed in a Pearl White suit, and rides on a set of period-appropriate wheels with shiny chromed hubcaps. However, beneath the skin, this 1954 Ford Crestline Sunliner Convertible Restomod features a Mustang 2 front end with adjustable coilover shocks. The custom paint job also highlights the car’s glorious chromed bumpers, exhaust tips, rear-view mirrors and detailing. As for weather protection, a powered burgundy soft top seamlessly rises into view when called for, protecting the occupants from the sun and rain. The custom interior of this 1954 Ford Crestline Sunliner Convertible Restomod takes on a burgundy theme and includes some classic Stewart Warner gauges, including a tachometer. A Vintage Air air conditioning and heating system is present, as is a restored original radio with FM reception and even a CD changer! A power antenna is present too, ensuring seamless radio reception.

Engine

This 1954 Ford Crestline Sunliner Convertible Restomod comes with a 381ci V8, which is actually a 351 that’s been bored 30ci over. It’s paired with a 4-barrel carburetor and uses MSD electronic ignition. Power goes to the rear wheels through a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox and a Ford 9-inch Posi differential. You’ve also got power steering and power disc brakes for a thoroughly modernized and easy driving experience. All that means this is one sweet car to own and drive.

1930 Ford Model A Phaeton Hot Rod

Current Ask
$36,000

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.

1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop

Current Ask
$36,500

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.

Current Ask
$57,000

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.
