1953 Ford Customline Sedan Walk Around

Loved my 54 custom liner. The v8 engine was powerful enough and it was easy to maintain. Back in the day scheduled grease jobs and oil changes were important.

We had a 1954 Customline, three speed manual. Dad taught me to drive it and I totalled a PABX Vauxhall when I lost control turning a corner. Hardly any damage to the Ford! Dad bought a 59 Customline after that!. That was great to drive.

These cars were everywhere when I was little. My granny had a black Fordor like this, my uncle gave us a light blue Tudor. They burned oil and overheated but were otherwise pretty stout.

I had a 53 club coupe as a teenager. It was a great looking car and a great year for Ford

What a practical car, + it had head and leg room.
My second car bought in 1962 from a Coe worker was a 1954 crestline 2 dr with a 6cyl. three on the tree and overdrive for $95.00

I bought a '53 Customline two door, to rebuild... Then found a '53 Customline four door, as a parts car ! The four door had a nice metal sunvisor I promptly swapped over to the two door ... Still have a 50th anniversary horn ring, but the cars are long gone... 🤓

Around 1952, at age 6, I remember seeing a Ford t.v. commercial stating that the company had 'scrapped' their
planned '53 & '54 designs & were going to 'leap' 2 yrs. ahead, to this 'futuristic' model! When you look to any of the
other American car company's vehicles, of that year, you might agree that this Ford was really "ahead of its time"?
( My family had a 1951 Ford, but it became, instantly 'dated', after seeing this gorgeous model!)

We had the heat risers blocked. That car would get back off cackle coming down hill. It also would vapor lock all the time. You had to carry water with you to pour over the gas line.

I had a 54 overhead valve V8 but it idled at about 650 rpm
