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.
