Lot #214 - This custom 1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner is finished in a gorgeous Aquatone Blue with a white top and a two-tone blue and cream interior. Powered by Ford's first 239ci V8 engine that produces 130hp, backed by a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This amazing example has been upgraded and modified to create a beautiful representation of a mainstream 1950s automobile. Features in this custom Crestline consist of rear fender skirts, stainless-steel trim package, two-tone paint, dual sport mirrors, power windows, factory trunk mat, jack and spare tire. Upgrades consist of a replated 1954 DeSoto grille that was floated in the front cowl, stamped louvered hood, dual lake side pipes with chrome-plated billet mufflers, stainless Continental kit and shaved trunk lock with power trunk. Sitting on custom wire wheel with whitewall radial tires and a 1.5-inch drop. It also comes with the original split grille and bumper guards, factory Coronado trunk spare tire cover, front factory hood emblem with airplane hood topper and a custom car cover. This 1954 Ford was sold new in California and made its way to Spokane, WA, in the 1960s. After 20 years it ended up with a collector in Victoria, BC, and spent several years being restored to the beautiful example seen today. The two-tone paint is water-based, and the pinstriping on the car is all hand-painted. A new roof panel was also installed in 2010. It's a well-done classic that is ready to go.
