Finished in Coral with a contrasting gray roof, the car's paint and trim are in overall great condition.

Each tire is mounted to a newer five-spoke alloy wheel. The wheels are in excellent order while the tires are in very good shape.

Ford finally answered the Chevrolet Bel Air and Plymouth Belvedere charge with the Victoria hardtop in 1951, borrowing the term from the victoria carriage. The car was an instant hit, outselling the Chevrolet by nearly 10 percent. The Crestliner continued for one more year, however. The pillarless superstructure was styled by Gordon M. Buehrig, of Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg fame, who had come to Dearborn after leaving the Loewy team at Studebaker. All 1951 Fords sported a new "dual-bullet" grille and heavy chrome bumpers. This year Ford also added a new "turn-key" ignition. Front suspension is independent coil springs. Documentation includes original owner's manual and extensive documents on the vehicle; receipts, invoices and more.
