I learned to drive in a 1953 Ford Customline like this when I was 12 years old...64 years ago. Same color, except ours was a standard shift (3 on the tree). Flathead V8. Great car...
My dad's first new car, Fordor Customline, same color, blackwall tires, 3 on the tree, 6cyl, 1953. Remember trips from Flint, Michigan to West Virginia, to visit grandparents and cousins, in it. Was riding shotgun when he lightly rear ended a '56 Mercury, inverting the point of the bullet in the grille, without scratching the new Mercury. Traded it for a '57 Chevy 210, 4 door sedan, 283, Turboglide, after being a GM employee for three years. The automatic made my mom decide to learn to drive, at 31.
Last year for the flathead! Beautiful car.
My first actual car. Gave $105 in 1964.
While I walked home to get my money, teenage girl seller " washed " it for me using TSP and a kitchen scrubby.
Instant patina job. Added headers, 2 97s and a Mallory dist, 2" blocks in back.
Biggest improvement- Mad Man Muntz 45 record player. 😅
Looks very much like a 53 Ford my uncle drove for years. Rode in it many times. Also our family car was a 53 Victoria both were great cars.
Beautiful Car!
Thank you!
@@rocksolidmotorsports Your welcome.
In Canada, Ford Canada had a Meteor Division, that was a cross between a Ford and a Mercury, Meteor's, weren't sold in U.S.
A real American car
All Fordimatic transmissions from 51-57 started out in second gear. In 58 Ford introduced the Cruisamatic which started out in first like later automatics.
Infamous flathead V8 😮???????
My thought exactly. "Legendary" is more like it.
Yea infamous was for sure the wrong word. We actually love these flathead V8's. Your suggestion of Legendary is much more fitting!
Infamous - - wtf??? What's infamous about it - - - certainly classic V8; legendary V8; FAMOUS V8.
I saw its already sold. How much did you get for it?
My first car. took the heads off and it had holes in the pistons about the size of half dollar. But it ran i quart of oil for every 15 miles. Not something you want to do these days.
Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end... Trump 2024
