Coyote-Powered 1954 Ford Customline Tudor Sedan

Description

For the 1952 model year, Customline became the company's mid-market entry, and it featured a more modern style. Customline exteriors featured a wrap-around windshield, curved rear glass, a new grille, and additional ornamentation that deviated from the earlier "Shoebox" design. The 1954 model year saw the introduction of a two-door Ranch Wagon to the lineup as well as new suspension setups and engine tunes. Beloved for their distinctive 1950s styling cues, Customlines are highly sought after today to enjoy on memorable weekend cruises and grab attention at local car shows.
