Ford Customline Club Coupe 239 Y-block 1954

Allmän beskrivning : This 1954 Ford Customline Club Coupe has rarity, beauty, and style. So more than just a sleek black coupe, check out everything from the two-tone interior to the debut of the OHV motor.
The design of the Club Coupe is a special one. It looks a bit sleeker than the Tudor sedan that was also offered, because the longer trunk line gives it some nice proportions. And there's rarity in this style, considering Ford made only one of these for almost every nine Tudors that came off the line. It's this uniqueness has likely contributed to why this one has been treated with care. You first notice the awesome brightwork. The 1954 cars had a revised grille that was so wide that it reached around the corners just like the bright bumper below it. The side trim is complete, right down to the full-length line that highlights the straightness of this sheetmetal. It all ends in a chrome rear light surrounds that hints at the tailfin era that was just around the corner (especially the Thunderbird coming the next year!) Even the trim in the rear looks great with the Ford family crest and the cool Fordomatic script that told others you could afford for the auto transmission option. All of this presents exceptionally well because the upgraded black paint provides a nice backdrop and plenty of gloss. There are even some cool custom pieces, like the upgraded hood ornament, driver's spotlight, side window overhangs, and Cadillac wheel covers. It all adds to the cool 1950s cruiser feeling.
Inside, the red and white two-tone really continues the classic feeling nicely. And we love the thoughtfulness of how it's intertwined in places like the contrast piping on the bright white seats. There's even more nostalgia when you slip behind the wheel. This is where you can tell today that the Thunderbird was on its way. The engine-turned panel and nifty speedometer in a clear acrylic panel (currently for display) are hallmarks of the iconic personal coupe. As you look around the rest of this coupe, you're going to see more great vintage items. It's everywhere from the working AM radio to the very original-looking full size spare in the trunk.
While you've already seen plenty of cool features, the best one is under the hood. 1954 was the first year for the new overhead valve V8. The U4 in the VIN tells you that the 239 cubic-inch powerplant is the factory-correct motor for this Ford. It's exceptionally showcased in the engine bay with the tall, bold red oil bath air cleaner and the valve covers to match. You'll love looking at all the original-style components, even the windshield washer fluid bag. On the road, you'll be quite happy you chose a model year with the new motor because it gives this cruising Ford a little extra kick of power over the flathead cars. There are some nice everyday upgrades like a 12-volt electric system and even an electric fan. Plus, the three-speed Fordomatic automatic transmission keeps this distinct coupe an easy way to spend a day.
Complete with owner's manual, this Customline Club Coupe likes to stand out in all the best ways. So don't miss this affordable way to have a distinct classic in your garage. Call today!!!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
