Description
1953 Ford Custom line, 74,000 Actual Miles (Flathead V8 Engine 25 actual miles) This 1953 Ford Custom line delivers classic style, extra flair, and flathead V8 power. The seafoam green color is a nice '50s-style presentation. This 53’ has the right classic details you love, like a front end with plenty of shining chrome, a sweeping side trim line, car has been lowered and even whitewall tires.
Also, don't forget to check out the custom lettering on the rear fenders. Plus, there are other nice cruiser details, like the color-matched visor over the windshield, bright dual exhaust tips, polished wheel covers and fender skirts. Inside is a beautiful presentation, that tells you there was a solid investment here later in life.
The well-done headliner, nice carpeting, and white and green leather seating make for a complete package. The dash is the focal-point of most cars, and the dash in this gem is no exception and is in excellent condition. That means crisp dials, a smooth feeling, and a classic steering wheel with Ford family crest center cap.
Even the correct AM radio is still on display. This is the kind of engine bay you'll love showing off. Not only is this Ford's famous 239 cubic-inch Flathead V8, but also it's dressed to impress with a bold red block, sharp-looking oil bath air cleaner, and an overall tidy presentation, right down to the plug wires.
This was also built with driving in mind with well-integrated upgrades. The V8 fires up with a nice tune from the dual exhaust, and the three-speed manual transmission has a smooth action while giving you that classic column-shifter feel. This is true vintage motoring with that touch of flair you’ll love.

Ford Customline Buyer's Guide
Mike Sullivan here, and I want to make a case for the Ford Customline that most people haven't considered. These early 1950s Fords are among the most undervalued collectibles in the market right now. They're beautiful cars — clean, proportionate, and designed with a confidence that the excess of the late 1950s hadn't yet reached. And the Y-block V8 that Ford introduced in 1954 is one of the most underrated American engines of the postwar period.
The Customline was Ford's mid-trim offering from 1952 through 1956, sitting between the basic Mainline and the premium Crestline/Fairlane. It was the car most Americans actually bought — not the stripped fleet model, not the fully optioned showroom queen, but the one that represented a genuine step up from basic transportation without breaking the budget. Finding one today means finding an honest, practical American car from the decade that defined what the American family car could be.
