Classic Car Ready for Sandblasting-But What Make/Model is It?

[dibbons]

My sandblaster guy just took on another job, but he could not tell me what year/make/model this old car was (My guess it's a 1950 model-something):

I was going to say a 52 or 53 Ford, but someone beat me to it.
My grandpa had one in that color scheme.

You can tell it's a 52 by the parking light holes in the front fenders. Other than that, it's a tough one to ID between 52, 53 or 54 without the trim in place.

Pic of mine n dad's 54 Meteor (Canadian only). Less then 40k flat head V8.
Dad sold it when he was in rough shape (taken advantage of) for $500.

I had a '54 Ford crestline about 10 years ago. 1st year for the overhead valve V8 in the Ford. Two-tone light/dark blue. Most fun car to drive on a 50 mph cruise I've ever owned.

All the fotos are of two doors, the vehicle awaiting the sand blast is four door. Rare?

No Probably 10's of thousands made.

I agree. I have a '54 four door sitting behind the carport. Converted to 12 volt, 239 OHV, with a '57 3 speed OD. The car is a blast to drive and turns a lot of heads even with the patina.

Remember as a kid seeing these with the front end in the air, tail dragging the ground, Cadillac hubcaps, "glass packs" ..

My Dad's first car was a 52. He had the bumperettes too and the only pic He had of the front end had a big dent in the left one. I laugh at him when he came clean and said he hit a wall second day he had the car

'54 dash is different than a '52-53.
