1953 Ford Crestline

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced for 1952, the Crestline Victoria was Ford's top of the passenger-car lineup, showcasing some of the company's most distinctive styling of the early ‘50s. The pillarless hardtop body style, wraparound windshield, extensive brightwork, and two-tone colorways gave the Victoria an upscale appearance. Combined with available Flathead V8 power and a spacious, well-appointed interior, the Crestline Victoria has had an enduring appeal.

This 1953 Ford Crestline Victoria Coupe is a non-drivable project car that has been the subject of an ongoing refurbishment for approximately 25 years. Power comes from a 239ci Flathead V8 paired with a three-speed C4 automatic transmission, and the car features power-assisted steering and drum brakes, and white-painted steel wheels. The body is finished in two-tone white and red over a reupholstered black-and-white interior.

The seller notes that the vehicle needs wiring, drivetrain, and trim work, and that it retains a 6-volt electrical system, though it includes some components needed to facilitate a 12-volt conversion.
