Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to offer this sharp 1953 Ford Customline. The current owner obtained this piece of Ford Motor Company history from a dealer in Concord, North Carolina a couple years ago. Walking around this '53 one should notice the two-toned Seafoam Green with offset dark green metallic paint that screams the 50's era. Adding to the curb appeal are chrome bumpers, chrome grille, frenched in headlights, chrome emblems, chrome handles, chrome mirror, chrome trim, side skirts, dual exhaust with chrome tips, and paint to match steel wheels with chrome hubcaps wrapped in whitewall Firestone Bias ply tires. The interior shows well and keeps the green two-toned theme that is expressed in the exterior. Additionally, cloth with vinyl seats, matching door panels, painted dash, seat belts, AM/FM radio, carpeting, etc finish the cabin. This post WWII Ford is powered by a 239 CID Flathead V8 engine that is mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. The engine bay is organized and features a 12-volt battery system, painted orange engine block, Ford letting on the hoses, Ford Special decals on the air cleaner, and gives off a rumble that can only be accomplished by a Flathead V8. The owner states that the car was restored before their acquisition of it and it has won awards on local shows. Awards are also available upon request to be sent with the vehicle after purchase. If you are looking for a 1950's classic, this beauty should be considered.

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
