Certainly not show, but looks good from 10'. It's about 4 years old and is showing flaws.


The drive side door has some creasing where my daughter "hip checked" the door to close it. There is some bubbling on the driver side rocker, front fender and rear quarter aft of the wheel well. Trunk is solid. The chassis had heavy undercoating and appears solid underneath. There is some damage to the right front body mount cross member but all mounts are solid with no rust. No major dents. Passenger side rock panel has some damage from when the car was transported on a flatbed.

Some dings from driving it. Door handles were shaved and the driver door is actuated mechanically through the factrory lock mechanism. Side trim is shaved, hood nosed. Has 61 Olds taillights. Paint is Hot Rod flatz champagne metallic with a custom mix cooper roof. The door jams, trunk and under hood were not painted and show the origianl color.

1954 ford that was customized in the 1960's by hall of fame customizer Miles Masa.. the car has remained as done by him with the exception of the hot rod black paint..he louvered the hood.rounded the hood corners,shaved doors ,trunk and hood. moulded front fenders to grill surround , installed 54 chevy grill. extended quarters 6 inches and added 58 corvette taillights. the work he did was excellent and has held up well through the years.this was a real nice 54 ford when it was customized and still is.the car has never been rusty as far as i can tell. i put it on a hoist and went over it well, no floor or trunk panels have been replaced or repaired..it's nice. somewhere along the string of owners the y-block was pulled,i think in the recent past, and a 350 olds engine and turbo 350 was installed. it's around 1973 vintage so it likes regular fuel. the engine and trans. are very sound. the car is 1954 ford, manual steering, drum brakes, stock rearend. in other words it drives like a 54 ford. it has a new set of nos wide whites on it. i have skirts for it, but i like it better without them. the engine has a little bit of a rumpety, rump cam in it,plus hollywoods, so it sounds just like a y-block . when the car was done the trunk and interior were left pretty much stock with the exception of a different front seat and a rolled and pleated package tray. i found the car in a 1979 issue of street rodder and the interior and body are identical with the exception of paint. i really don't know much about the cars history ? it's fun to drive and gets a lot of attention everywhere we go. this car needs to be taken to the next level, paint, interior, etc. health issues have made me realize that i'll never get all the cars i own done, so the ford has to go
