The 1950s were an exciting time for the American automobile. Innovation was soaring and the economy was booming and this gave way to a rich automotive market.
Between the big three automakers there were plenty of options to fill the growing demand for a more luxurious car. However, by 1954 Ford had raised the bar with its Skyliner model. Flashy chrome and bright colors were a common theme and interiors were well equipped with premium upholstery. Giving the model its name, a smoked acrylic roof covered the front seats. This revolutionary design only lasted two years, though, making them a rare find today.
This 1954 Ford Skyliner that is currently at auction on Classiq is a prime example of what Ford had to offer in the 1950s. It is finished in a stunning metallic blue over a blue and white interior. The car's use of chrome is absolutely stunning, inside and out and the transparent roof is in good condition.
Under the hood is a numbers matching 239-cid V8 engine backed by a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. A 12-volt conversion was completed and gauges were added to keep tabs on the engine. Other features include power steering and a factory radio, though the stock radio is not wired and does not function.
This is a stunning car and is said to be free of rust and in perfect working order. This is confirmed by an independent inspection report that is included with the car. With only two previous owners, this low mileage 1954 Ford Skyliner is now ready for new ownership. For more information on this car or how to register to place your bid click here.
