1951 Ford Custom Deluxe V-8 Crestliner

  • Chassis Number: 0470CH51-41981
The 1951 Ford Crestliner was a variation of the Tudor sedan and available in four special paint colors. The interior featured specific artificial leather and craftcord seating. They had two-tone paint with a black or brown insert, special wheel covers, ribbed rear fender skirts, a vinyl roof, and exclusive side trim. V8 engines were standard in all Crestliners.

Just 8,703 examples of the Crestliner were built for the shortened model year.

This particular example wears the new-for-1951 color of Hawaiian Bronze with a Dark Brown insert. It has been a part of the Don Gibson collection since 1998. In 2003 it was the recipient of a Dearborn Award from the Early Ford V-8 Club of America.

This Crestliner has been given a restoration and been driven 777 miles since the work was completed. It has a flathead V8 engine, a three-speed manual transmission with optional overdrive, clock, and radio.
