When I was little my uncle had a '54 Custom line in that same color,it was T boned while he and some coworkers were on their way home in 1964,I have vague memories of riding with he and my aunt in it.
The 1954 model replaced the flathead V8 with an overhead valve one. Plus a newly designed dashboard which I really like. Probably a 2 speed automatic transmission with manual steering and brakes. Nice car!
Those battery cables are too thin for 6 volts. You should be using 1 gauge cables - the smaller the number, the thicker the wire - or else you will have slow cranking. 6 volt starters draw twice the amps as 12 volt starters. And with 6 volts, you NEVER replace bad clamps with those bolt-on ones from chain auto parts stores. You replace THE ENTIRE CABLE. Also, I though Crestlines, like the 55 Fairlane, had opening rear vent panes.

one of the best '54 Crestlines on YT
Love that car
Thank you. I drove one very similar 1970/71. It certainly is a very high quality Ford. 😊🙏

It is a 3 speed, not a 2 speed. The first Ford 2 speed automatic came out in 59.
A beautiful car First year for power windows Love it My grandfather had the same model but with overdrive and no power windows I enjoyed the video
Very nice!

I had a coupe, white roof probably same blue.
Build quality and materials were superior to ‘53 or ‘55.
Nice
