It would be a cool driver, wash it, lower it, update the brakes, pinstripe it, add lake pipes.

Nice looking Victoria. I believe the crown designation did not start until '55 when they added the chrome tiara to the roof. First year for the Y block and ball joint front suspension.
Hawk Rod please chime in if I am wrong on this.

BIll you got it right in my book. You two are funny, greg and Ice LOL

Yep, first year for the Y-block. Makes me miss my Ranchwagon!
That is where you need that 5-speed. Run it as is. I have a set of spun aluminum hub caps that would look killer on it...

Yep, the 54s replaced the 239" flathead with a 239" Y-Block.

Know anything about this one?

Just got back from looking at the 54. Very straight, interor is actually in pretty shape. 239 3 on the tree, hasn't run in years but the engine doesn't look bad under the valve covers.
The car belonged to his late Uncle, all the trim is very good shape, the chrome is pitted though, one cracked turn signal bezel on the front. The missing trim pieces are in the car.
Car is absolutely complete aside from a missing headliner but the bows are there. Has some plastic in the left front fender from what appears to be dents, it was repainted too - badly, rest of the car is original paint and it even looks pretty good.
Get this, this car doesn't seem to have 1 rust hole anywhere!!!!!! I was all over this thing, truck floor solid, floors under the front solid, rockers solid.
He wants $1500 for it.
I like it!

Automotive Dyslexia rears it's ugly head again, lol.
I have no idea why I searched "1954" on CL when I found it, lol.

Crestline Victoria is the model according to my book. Ford also made the Skyliner Victoria first in '54 with the glass roof. They also made some with a see-through hood to help announce the new OHV V8. No Crown Vic's until '55.
Greg, that thing is worth every penny of $1500. Solid!
Is the paint original?

All the paint looks original except the left front fender.

Snag that, wash it, fix the brakes, get it running if possible and resell it on fleabay. Should net you a couple thousand after expenses I would think!
Or drive it for the summer and then get rid of it.
O my, what will your neighbors think
Have Fun!

There is a restored one with the Continental Kit on Ebay right now, BIN of $17500, bids are up to over $14000 - reserve not met. What I am thinking for it is in a post further up.

greg flipping cars of that cliber might be your ticket off the road...........

I could probably make a few bucks on it. If I get it I want to keep it though, lol.
I'd love to flip cars like this to make money. I am sort of afraid of that right now though - my GT should be a perfect flip car (not why I bought it though). I have had it officially for sale since the 2nd, not one offer! It should be worth 3-4 grand more than I am asking - NADA classic cars states one in this condition should be in the 10-$11000 range. It's for sale on a 79-86 Mustang forum, CL. There is a 55,000 mile one for sale on the same forum nearly like mine, just as nice. He is asking $6500 for his and it hasn't sold either. Mustangs like this from this era will be the next ones to climb in value, they had started to already then just stalled. Last year it booked $2000 higher.
I don't really want to Ebay it but will soon if something doesn't give.
