This is One of the Rarest Fords Ever Built!!! Less then 400 Ever Produced!!!
Here is an absolutely, drop dead gorgeous and extremely rare 1953 Ford Meteor Crestline Sunliner Convertible in excellent condition inside and out. This very rare car was built by the Canadian Ford/Mercury division and was sold new in Canada. This upscale Canadian Ford came with very unique trim, Mercury 255ci flathead V8, plus the Mercury dashboard and controls. It’s a stunning car that has been totally restored and looks amazing. This little beauty has been pampered as you can see by the photos. This car is as nice as they come. It features a Bright Coral Flame Red paint job and red and black interior that look stunning on the car. Absolutely everything lines up perfect and really is one of a kind. This car is so rare, that no one can really figure out the true production figures. It ranges between 397 to as low as 150 ever built. Even at those figures there are only about a handful left in the world!
This is the car to have if you want to feel like an instant celebrity. It’s the ultimate cruiser and it gets more attention and appreciation than any exotic or new luxury car could ever get. This beauty is a rolling testament to the glitz, glamour, innovation, and prosperity of the 1950’s. Nothing beats a rare, red Ford Meteor Convertible!!!!!
It’s loaded with the following equipment:
- Mercury 255ci Flathead V8 (#’s Match)
- Ford-O-Matic Transmission
- Deluxe Meteor Wire Wheels Hubcaps
- Ford Spotlight
- Fender Skirts
- Factory Coronado Kit
- AM Radio (Works)
- Heater
- White Wall Tires
- Etc…..
The exterior of this rare car is in gorgeous condition. This car is painted in its original color of beautiful, “Coral Flame” and looks amazing paired with its new white soft top and gorgeous, correct black and red interior. The paint job is absolutely gorgeous and it looks amazing. It was hand rubbed to a smooth as glass finish. The body is laser straight and everything lines up beautifully. This car stops traffic with its beautiful paint and stunning chrome! It looks so good going down the road that people can’t help but stop and stare. All the chrome and stainless on the car has been redone and are in beautiful condition and shines brilliantly!
Sitting in this classic Ford, you’ll feel like you’ve just entered a time warp. The black and red interior looks beautiful and was done factory correct. The dash and gauge cluster are very bright and clean. In the trunk it looks beautiful and is all redone. This car still has its original AM radio in place that sounds amazing!
Mechanically, this car runs and drives excellent. The numbers-matching, 255ci flathead V8 purrs like a kitten and runs smooth. This motor and transmission were rebuilt when the car was restored. Under the hood is absolutely detailed to show condition and looks awesome. This car needs nothing. I wouldn’t be afraid to drive it anywhere. This car always starts right up and it drives down the road with ease!
This is an ultra rare classic car that is only going up in value as time goes on. These early Fords have always been an iconic car and this being a Meteor makes it any classic Ford collector’s dream piece. Being that less than 400 were ever built makes this car extremely rare. It is obvious that this car has been extremely well taken care of. This Ford is, in a word: Amazing.
