Harry's Thoughts

This is a very nice example that is sure to help make its new caretaker many happy memories!

THE ESSENTIALS

This is one of the original 30 Ford Motor Company factory lightweight cars built for the 1954 Pan-American Road Race (export models). This is said to be the Argentinean entry, Car No. 313 sponsored by the famous dictator of Argentina, Juan Peron (made popular from the hit “Evita”).

This Ford was restored in 1989 and has a fabulous patina that allows it to look terrific on the show field or race course! This is a fabulous race car that would enhance any collection.

The Ford V8’s had horrible over-heating challenges. The straight six cars such as this performed far better. In fact, in the 1954 race all the Ford V8’s did not finish and all the six cylinder models finished. This car, car number 313, finished 71st place overall out of 149 starters.

This would be an incredible vintage race car or addition to a racing heritage collection. This is the real deal.

Interesting Fact: The Ford Customline was sold for four years between 1952 and 1956, with both a two-door and four-door sedan option. Succeeding the Ford Custom 300, this model was introduced as a mid-range vehicle that filled the gap between existing vehicles on the lineup. At their launch, Customline models were available with an inline six-cylinder engine or a V8 engine. In the first year, over 400,000 units were produced. In the vehicles second year, there were only minor facelifts added to the vehicle and production nearly doubled, with 761,662 units being sold. Unfortunately for the model, it began to fade in popularity and the 1956 model only saw minor aesthetic changes, along with a meager 368,653 units produced. This decline in overall sales led to the series being discontinued. With that said, the Customline is an impressive model that car collectors still try to locate today!
