The Ford Crestline is an automobile which was produced by Ford in the United States for models years 1952 to 1954.[1]
1952
The Crestline was introduced as the top trim level of the 1952 Ford range, above the intermediate-level Customline and base level Mainline.[1] It was offered in Victoria, Sunliner and Country Squire versions with 2-door hardtop, 2-door convertible and 4-door station wagon body styles respectively.[2] Crestlines were offered only with a 239 cu in (3,920 cm3) "flathead" V8 engine.[1]
1953
The Crestline was updated with minor styling and trim changes for 1953.[1] It retained its position as the top trim level in the Ford range while body styles and engine availability also remained unchanged.[1]
1954
For 1954 the Crestline was again updated with minor styling and trim changes.[1] Fordor Sedan and Skyliner versions were added, the latter being a 2-door hardtop with a tinted acrylic glass panel in the front section of the roof.[3] 13,144 were sold in the single year of production, more than the two years of Crown Victoria Skyliner production that would follow. New 223 cu in (3,650 cm3) straight-six and 239 cu in (3,920 cm3) overhead valve V8 engines were offered.[1]
The Crestline was replaced by the Ford Fairlane in the 1955 Ford range.[1]
