 1953 - Ford Customline 4 Door Sedan
 
Flat Head V/8 - 3 Speed - Black w/White Top

8-cylinders 239cid/110hp 2bbl

In the 1950's Black and White two-tone was a color combination that was tough to go wrong with and you will agree in this case with this beautifully original unrestored 1953 Ford Customline 4-door Sedan runs and drives like an old car of that time, stored the last 6 or so years, driven on nice days and special occasions. Original interior with seat covers, retains most of its original paint, original chrome, new master and wheel cylinders, rebuilt carburetor, fuel pump, new fuel tank, new belts and hoses...etc. One decent restorable '53 Ford Customline need a good home.

From any angle this car has great lines and timeless looks. This black w/white top is original and could stand a complete paint job whether the same color or a custom paint job. You would turn heads at any car event or parade. The bodywork is straight its finish is original with some painting and body work prior to my ownership. The chrome and stainless steel trim are all original so with the age it looks good, but if I were going to restore it I would replace it. I have way too many projects to keep this one. It is one of many cars I own, so looking to pass the love for these well built cars to another enthusiast. Please LOOK and EXAMINE the pictures. I would entertain any questions or provide any further pictures if needed.

When you take in all the individual details from the front bumper to the rear bumper it has been a well kept car for its age. Always seems to turn heads when driven. Inside you will find original equipment with NO modifications with the exception of a fan on the floorboard which was there when I purchased it from the original owner a few years ago.

Accessories include a heater and defroster, analog clock, stock steering, stock brakes, and original AM radio that does not work. Power comes from a Flathead 239cid V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor. To complete the look the spare tire and jack are still present just as they should be.

Also included is the original owner's manual. This car is a great daily driver and head turner, it is rare and you are not likely to see another one when you are out at a local event or parade. I would be glad to answer any questions or provide more pictures.

One last thought: Would Consider Trading for a 1951 or 1952 Chevrolet

This is a REAL crown jewel...Do NOT let it get away and slip through your fingers!! Happy Bidding!!

Ford barely edges surging Chrysler for Canadian sales crown in best year ever

Thu, Jan 8 2015

The auto industry in the US showed strong results through much of 2014 with sales regularly growing year-over-year for many brands. That same trend carried over in the Great White North, as well. Canada posted its best numbers ever with 1.85 million units sold, up about 100,000 vehicles over 2013. The country nearly had a new market leader, too. The big winner among our neighbors to the north in 2014 was Ford with 291,951 vehicles sold, up 3 percent from 2013, according to Reuters. That success also handed the company the sales crown for the fifth consecutive year. In large part, the strong result came from the company's popular trucks, which represented about 80 percent of overall sales. "Ford moved into the number one position in September and didn't look back," said a note to clients by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants quoted by Reuters. However, the Blue Oval didn't exactly take an overwhelming lead for the year. The company nearly had to hand over the sales trophy to FCA after the company rallied in the latter part of the year. The Italian-American conglomerate had its best results ever to nip at the Ford's heels and move 290,004 units for 2014, a 12-percent improvement from last year. Jeep especially helped the bottom line with over 50-percent growth, according to Reuters. Only two other brands were able to break the 200,000-vehicle barrier in Canada for 2014. General Motors came in third place overall with 249,800 sales, up 6.3 percent. The combined Toyota and Lexus also barely jumped the hurdle with 200,851 units moved, a 2.8 percent improvement.

Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
