Customs Have you seen this custom 54 Ford

Paging @OGLilE to the front desk.

 

Luke Karosi at Kustoms Illustrated might be able to help

 

Id drive it

 

No idea where it went to, but also curious to know it's current whereabouts. Seems like there were a shitload of custom cars build in the 90's and early 2000's that seem to have vanished like this, I wonder where they all went.

 

some went overseas - Japan, etc

 

Cant help on location but daaaaaamn that's so cool

Hope we can find it and can see more of it!!!!!

 

That’s Mind Blowing.

 

That's a beauty and as JJ pointed out a lot of customs have made their way overseas, I have a thing for '54 Fords and this one is a knock out.

I would love to see more photo's , Bill did an outstanding job.HRP

 

Maybe somebody just painted it.

 

For some reason, it seems like I have seen a similar pearl white car with a purple glass top for sale in the last few years. But, I have no idea if I am just dreaming that or not. I can’t imagine wanting to cover up that paint job other than some people just have bad taste.

 

That checks a helluva lot of my boxes, since I love East Coast customs. Hope you find it, and it's not been changed into something boring.

 

Cool! car! Was it in one of the Mad Fabricators vids in 2009 or 10 or am i imagining things?Might try Rik Hoving or Kustomramas website?

 

I have a feeling that this could be the cause of another addition to Mark's house if found unscathed.

 

Guess he replaced stock glass/plastic top of a model Ford called “sunliner”. Just looked at stock one last week with rare factory installed plastic insert /window in hood to show off new engine. Wonder now, was that 53 or sunliner 2 year option?

 

I was told each dealer had one with window in hood around 350 of them

 

I believe "Sunliner" was the convertible model and "Starliner" was the glass top.

Like others have said probably overseas by now. The Japanese really like that style of car.

 

Thanks! I thought I remembered seeing it somewhere.

 

It doesn't have canted quad lights, so probably not.

 

What was the name of the custom collector guy from North Dakota that used to be on here?
Hasn't posted in a long time,might have passed away but he seemed to know where so many old customs were.
Long shot but maybe one of his buddies may know something. A slim lead but it's nearby.
