Details

This Ford Crestline Skyliner was sold new in California, made its way to Spokane, WA in the ‘60s, and after twenty years it ended up with a collector in Victoria BC who spent several years restoring this Skyliner to its current glory. It was finished in two-stage water-based paint with hand-painted pinstriping, and a new roof panel was installed in 2010. It comes with the original split grill and bumper guards. A 1954 DeSoto grille was found, re-plated, and custom floated in the front cowl. A stamped louvered hood was installed along with Laker side pipes, dual exhaust with chrome-plated billet mufflers, continental stainless tire kit, shaved trunk lock with power trunk, custom wire wheels, whitewall radial tires, and a 1.5” drop. It has factory power windows, and has been upgraded to power front disc brakes. It is powered by Ford’s first overhead valve 239ci V8 with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Options included rear fender skirts, stainless steel trim package, two-tone paint, dual sport mirrors, power windows, and factory trunk mat, jack and spare tire. This Skyliner comes with original bumper guards, split bumper and trim, factory Coronado trunk spare tire cover, front factory hood emblem with airplane hood topper, and a custom car cover.
