Back in the fifties the automobile competition was getting so strong that all of the manufactures were trying to find any feature that would lure potential customers into showrooms across the country. If you could get journalist to recognize your cars and do write ups on unique features they at least had a shot at getting your attention. Such was the case with the 13,144 Skyliners built in 1954. Based on the 2 door hardtop Crestline body the glass roof panel got allot of attention because it wasnew to the industryfor mass produced,affordable cars. The example you see here came to us from Southern California where it spent most ofit's life. We purchased it as a nice running and driving car where all of the mechanicals and paint had been redone. We have spent the past several weeks installing all of the trim, nterior, nd finishing the trunk compartment. The solid body lent itself to a very nice restoration and ACG is proud to offer this fine car. We have not had a Ford like this in a long time. It runs and drives terrific with a rebuilt power train featuring the new for 54 over head valve 239 c.i.d. V-8 mated to a smooth shifting 3 speed manual transmission. The overdrive is notpresently hooked up but our goal isto get it working properly as soon as we find some missing parts.As of this writing that issue is reflected in our pricing as our research showed asking prices for similar models much higher. The refurbished chassis gives it asmooth comfortable ride.It was restored to original specs without a bunch of modifications so even a fussy collector can appreciate this Fords factory equipment. It has manual steering but feels like power assist was added due to having the steering box rebuilt with all of the other suspension components. It steers easily! Ford styling was really coming into it's own in 1954 and the famous Skyliner is one of the most desirableFord of the fifties. Make this one yours and enjoy classic cruising like never before. Low rate, ong term financing is easily available along with cheap collector car insurance and professional delivery.
