Such scenes as this will soon be commonplace in Michigan as
the ice fishing season closes in on waters of the state. Each year,
thousands of enthusiasts, an army that the conservation department
reports has been growing with each season, take part in the finger-
numbing sport.
Ford 1954 Line Includes
"See-Out-Top" Crestliner
The 1954 Ford passenger cars,
were introduced to the public in
Ford dealers' showrooms all over
the nation Wednesday, January 6,
and featured Ford exclusives in the
high volume field.
Not the least of these exciting
new developments was Ford's coni-
pletely new 1954 Crestline' Skylin
er, featuring a transparent, plastic
top over the driving compartment,
affording an open-air freedom
which gives the illusion of riding
in a. convertible with the top .down
but retains the weather protection
of a hardtop model.
Other Ford exclusives include: "
* An entirely new 130-h. p. Y-
block V-8 engine- with overhead
valves.
* A new 115-h.p. I-block Mileage
Maker Six engine, noted for economy.
* New ball-joint front suspension
which Ford engineers call the
greatest advance in front suspension in 20 years. '
* The Skyliner—an entirely new
hardtop model with tinted, transparent plastic roof over the driving
compartment.
* A smart new Ford Sunliner
•convertible with an'unusual transparent plastic panel inserted in the
top over the front seat to provide
overhead visibility.
* Four new power-operated'driving assists: Power brakes, power
steering, 4-way power seat, power-
lift windows.
* Fordomatie transmission.
"The two new Ford engines for
1954—the Y-block V-8 and the I-
block Mileage Maker Six—were designed expressly to lead their respective fields and have been under development for the past six
years," L. D. Crusoe, vice-president, Ford Motor Company and
general manager of Ford Division,
said.
"It always has been Ford's policy to design and build engines that
set the pace for years ahead. Ford
was the first to offer a V-8 engine
in the low price field, and although
the majority of expensive cars
joined the V-8 parade, Ford today
is still the only car in its price
class to have V-8 power..
"For 1954 Ford has perfected
two new engines that are as far
ahead in their fields as the original
V-S was in its day. They represent
the greatest power advances since
the original Ford V-8. And they
have the benefit of Ford 'know-
how' gained, in building more than
16 million V-8 engines during the
past 22 years."
L. W. Smead, Ford Division general sales manager, pointed out
that Ford's new overhead valve Y-
block V-8 engine, with its deep-
block construction, is of modern,
short-stroke, low-friction, high compression design. It ha!3 a compression ratio of 7.2 to 1 and is smoother, quieter and gives more responsive power with greater economy
and longer life than last year's engine. It rates 130 brake horsepower, up 20 horsepower over the 1953
L-head V-8.   -
The new i-block 115-h.p. Mileage Maker Six also is a completely modern high-compression, low-
friction engine. It rates 14 horse
power more than the 1953 Ford Six
and, like the Y-block V-8, it is an-
"over-square" engine—that is the
diameter of the cylinder is greater
than the stroke of the piston.
According to Mr. Smead, the new
ball-joint suspension makes the
1954 Ford the most comfortable
and easiest handling Ford ever
built. Exclusive to Ford in the high
volume field, the ball-joint suspension replaces the older type kingpin suspension. This new system
permits up and down movement of
the front wheels through the ball-
joints as the wheels travel over
rough/ spots or directional movement' as wheels turn right or left
in steering.
In its 1954 passenger cars, Ford
again is offering three lines—Main-v
line, Customline and Crestline—
with 14 body styles. Three new
body types added this year are:
the Crestline Skyliner with the
transparent roof and a Crestline
Fordor Sedan, featuring luxurious
interior trim formerly found only
in costly limousines. A new Customline two-door station wagon
similar to the four-door Country
Sedan in trim and interior appointments has been added to the three
Ford station wagons previously
available. This is called the Customline Ranch Wagon.
Mr. Smead said that this year,
for the first time, Ford is offering
buyers a choice of either its V-8
or 6-cylinder engines in all models
—a total of 28 models for 1954.
To maintain Ford's modern style
leadership, the 1954 Fords are
coming off the assembly lines in
156 exterior and interior color
combinations with 13 single-tone
body colors, 10 of which are available in 13 two-tone combinations.
Twenty-three tasteful upholstery
patterns, selected for their charm
as well as durability, have been
chosen by Ford stylists to assure
harmonious interiors.
The 1954 Ford passengen cars
are readily distinguishable by their
new grille with its characteristic
Ford center spinner, recessed parking lights and pet-type air scoop.
There is a new Delta-wing type
hood ornament; an increase of half
an inch in the heighth of the crown
of the front fenders, and a new
diagonal slant to the headlamps.'
Combined with the single strip of
chrome running the length of the
car-, these give the new Fords a
longer, speedier look.
Destined to be one of the most
popular models in the Crestline,
the all-new Skyliner has a trans-
narent molded plastic top tinted
blue-green which covers the entire
driving compartment. This new
model has post-free sides and its
unusual overhead visibility gives
the illusion of riding in the open
air* <
