Description of 1954 Ford Crown Victoria |
Here is your chance to own something special. This is a 1954 Ford Hardtop Victoria Skyliner with that infamous Glass Roof. You see glass roof cars all the time, but they are always1955's and 1956's. You hardly ever see 1954's. These are really rare cars.Ford did such a good job with this car, that when I look at this car it truly remindsme of a factoryKustom. Take a look at the famous Kustom cars, the Sam Barris 1949 Mercury or the Matranga 1939 Mercury. These early Kustom cars had simple trim that accented the cars body lines. Clean simplegrills,clean simple taillights, etc. All those features are represented in this car. Look at the grill, smooth, nice bullets, flows great.Being ford painted theheadlight trim rings, it truly looks like frenched headlights. The trim down the side, is simple, to thepoint, and shows off the factory lines,just like a 50'scustom.Getting to the rear, taillights thataccent thequarters, flow nice, and then nothing else. Just super clean.And then on top of that a glass roof ! I bet George Barris fell out of his chair when he saw that.Darryl Starbird and Ed Rothbuilt custom cars revolving around that concept !Plus in 1954 Fordproducedhoods with glass windows (to show off thenew Yblock motor). Roundup a glasswindow hood, and oh man !If you could take this car back in time tothe early 50's,with some cruiser skirts, maybeSombrero hubcaps, spotlights, you would have cleaned up the Custom Car show circuit, won everything you went to.Plus on top of all those factorycustom features, get a load of that color ! Just about knocks your socks off ! Everybody has a blue car or a red car,againFord pulled the rabbit outta the hat and painted it a custom carcolor right from the factory !Getting to the interior, again50's custom, it hasthat vintage tuck and roll style interior, the color matches the outside perfectly.Can you imagine cruising down Woodward Ave or Main Street in your home town, single guy looking for a gal, cruising with thisthing ! You woulda had them lined up around the block !Plus on top of all that is this is the first year for the Y Block ! Again a veryunique car.And aglass roof ! It has all the advantages ofa convertible orretractable, but non of the disadvantages. You can see the moon and stars whenever you want, but unlike a retractable, you have lots of room in the trunk and don't have to worry about 50 solenoids not working right, and unlike a convertible top, it won't rip, tear,flap so loudly when you driving 80 you can't talk to theperson beside you, etc.Again all the perks with none of the drawbacks.This car is a win winfrom every angle.A factory produced car thatresemblesa factory custom, that is nicer then words can say, with a super nice interior, super nice paint job, firstyear of the Y block,that runs and drives great, all for $25,000 ? That's practically unheard of ! If your looking this car overyou will be amazed at how nice it is. The paint is gorgeous, trim and brightwork are amazing, interior looks brand new, runs and drives likea top. The car is justa super nice car.This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, don't let it pass you by ! This is a great deal on a Gorgeous car. Any questions please call me 701-471-3376.
