1954 Ford Sunliner Convertible

The 1954 Ford Sunliner Convertible was a pivot point for its man­ufacturer. On one hand, it carried over the styling (albeit facelifted), the body styles, and the series names in place since 1952. On the other hand, the new lineup, including the 1954 Ford Crestline Sunliner convertible, ushered in certain engineering and detail changes that would live on in its successors.

Foremost among the changes was the switch from Ford’s long-serving “flathead” V-8 to a completely modern short-stroke overhead-valve mill. Dubbed the “Y-block” because of its deep crank­case, it displaced the same 239.4 cubic inches as the engine it replaced, but generated 130 horsepower, 20 more than its forebear.

The interior on this Sunliner has a fantastic look. The front and rear bench seats are in superb shape having been reupholstered in red and white vinyl. The dash, door panels and steering wheel all appear to be in their stock configuration and are in wonderful condition. The dash is equipped with a 110 MPH speedometer, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge as well as a clock and upgraded entertainment system. Whether you’re looking to buy your very first classic car or you’re a 50s Ford fanatic,

This car has a ton to offer. It had lots of chrome in excellent condition, great lines and awesome 50’s styling, it runs great with classic “3 on a tree” shifting, and it’s top down motoring that has interior room. This is one of those body styles that will never go out of style and getting a great top-down cruiser with it is really special. The Sunliner is a piece of Americana featured in many classic movies and television shows.
