Undoubtedly, definitely, a rare , unique, unprecedented, unparalleled masterpiece

How tasteful that the scenery seems to match the lovely colours of the car!

When I was 5 in 1951, my family bought a brand new 1951 Ford (Base model) dark blue,two-door sedan for $1,650! The car was one of the most beautiful of that year, but since it was the third year of that model, it quickly became 'dated' when the ultra-modern 1952, completely redesigned Ford, came out!/ After more than 70 years, it's amazing to see one of them, still in pristine condition, though! / p.s. My family's car only lasted until 1959-60!

This particular model was called the Crestliner--a gap-filler offered 1950-51 until the Victoria hardtop coupe arrived. The actual CRESTLINE models started with the all-new styling in 1952.

Apart from being stunningly restored these are like tanks ..you really do not want to be hit by one of these.

Just stunning!

One of the best laid out dashboards of all time!

Ford hit the ball out of the park with the shoebox. The paint scheme is unlike any I've seen before. The dash layoutan ornamentation is the best of the lot. Don't understand chroming of the stainless trim. When polished it's as shiny as could be desired.

Great autos. I had the pleasure of driving my grandfather's 49 flathead Ford and loved the overdrive feature. You could just cruise and the engine just purred at a slow rumble. That engine is a tank.

Beautiful car - beautiful MUSIC too!

That was my first car. In 1958.

I didn't know that vinyl tops were available in 1951. Or, was that top part of the restoration? It looks odd.

My uncle had one identical to this car, but his had Oldsmobile V8 J2 power.

It’s not about the cost, definitely, it’s about the final touch.

Easy to see from where UK Vauxhall sedans took their styling cues.

Wasn’t Dillinger it was Clyde Barrow of Bonnie and Clyde ..who liked the ford V8 and wrote the letter.

Also, Clyde Barrow sent a letter to the Ford company.

Such a beauty! Do you think she'd 100mph?

Is that a black vinyl roof? I didn't think those roofs were available for the period

Minor detail, just for the information, not to criticize . . . It's a "Crestliner", not Crestline. 1st "Crestline" model was 1952.

If only it was an automatic. First year for that.
