General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer such a unique piece of Ford history like this 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner. This car has the rare Ford Flathead V8 and only shows about 45k miles on its odometer. The Ford Crestline was only made in 1952,1953, and 1954 which makes this car rare, especially in this condition. Crestlines were offered only with a 239 CID "flathead" V8 engine. This ’53 is a breeze to cruise in with its 3 speed automatic transmission. The Crestline was updated with minor styling in and trim changes for 1953. It retained its position as the top trim level in the Ford range while body styles and engine availability also remained unchanged from the 1952 models. The current owner of this Sunliner has owned it for over 20 years and is claimed to be only its 3rd owner. It has been meticulously maintained and has had the brakes, gas tank, tires and even has the receipts of the work that’s been completed on this rare car. When walking around this beauty you instantly notice all the style chrome trim on the shiny red paint. Unique to the Crestline is its big bumpers, stylish headlights, and hood emblem. Hopping inside of this convertible you feel the soft leather two tone interior that offsets the red and black styling. The soft top is power and comes with the matching black boot cover. When you drop the top on this convertible Ford cruiser in the fall weather you can keep comfortable by turning on the factory heat system. This car does have the 6 volt electrical system that is date correct for this car. Options on this car include; leather interior, power steering, power top, assisted brakes, white wall tires, curb feelers, duel exhaust, AM radio, hub cabs, radial tires, and even a spare tire.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
