Here's a short video of my 53 customline. The owner before me had posted this video along with his craigslist ad. I watched the video and fel in love with the car, when I showed the video to my wife she to feel in love and the rest is history http://youtu.be/lNGufu18p0w We drove the car around for about a year like that. Now she sits in my garage torn apart.
Nice car! I'm glad you put video on here and that I checked it out because I found that there are alot of sites with 52-54 Fords. While checking out some sites I checked out 52-54 Fords and found over 6 minutes of pictures of our types of cars. There were some really great cars especially at the 4 min. 58 sec. mark when I saw my car!!! I hope you have as much enjoyment with your 53 as I've had with mine over the last 37 years. Welcome to a great webb site where you will find a lot of help and some surprises along the way!
I just read your profile and see that you live in New Jersey. I sure hope and pray that you didn't get any damage from the storm! I hope that all members we have on the East Coast are safe!!!!!
Good looking car....looks like most of the grunt work has been done for you and you get to complete the details . T
Thanks carnut for praying for us, my family and I are ok, wish I could say the same for some of our friends. It's been a long week and on top of that we got hit with a snow storm, oh well. Thanks teejay most of the body work was done which I thought was a plus. When I bought the car I was not sure what to do. I thought I would clean it up and sell the car and buy an old truck. After doing some web searches I came across the HAMB, wow what a great site. After many of hours of reading the forum I decided to keep the car and really make her into something my wife and I would be proud of. Will try to get some pix up during the process.
