Ford Skyliner 1954
General description :
Our Detroit showroom of Gateway is proud to feature this gorgeous 1954 Ford Skyliner. The 1954 Ford is in beautiful condition inside and out. The ’54 Ford runs on a great running Pontiac 350 CID V8 built by Hi Performance Auto with a TH 400 automatic transmission backing it up. This 1954 looks incredible, gleaming in the sun with the cream paint which is offset by the glass roof and the brilliant chrome trim. The fact that this Skyliner has an engine with just 5,00 miles has made this vehicle stand out amongst the great cars of its kind and leaving many more years of life left in this great classic Ford. The engine looks, sounds, and runs great as it was rebuilt and a new set of Offenhauser heads were installed, and around the same time the transmission was professionally rebuilt which makes for a very smooth ride. As you sit in the driver’s seat and grab a hold of the original steering wheel, the look of the polished aircraft inspired dashboard takes you back in time. Options on the 1954 Ford include: AM/FM stereo, hub caps with white wall radial tires to insure a smooth ride, and a beautiful vinyl interior that is as comfortable as your living room couch, power steering, power brakes, tilt wheel, and seat belts. This 1954 Ford is ready cruise and will be for years to come or to show up to a weekend car show in comfort and style.

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
