Trim says '54, possibly Customline.

1954 Crestline (badge on right of trunk) Victoria hardtop. Model 60B. I only count one door handle, and no 2d sedan was offered in the Crestline series for 1954.

Note: Customline and Crestline had chrome rear window molding, Mainline had only rubber rear window molding. No series badges on rear other than on Crestline. (EDIT: information regarding series badge is incorrect)

Sorry, but manufacturer paint color names fascinate me. I love how poetic they can sound.

The badge on the side of the trunk didn't say "Crestline" but "Overdrive" or "Ford-O-matic".
Yet I'll agree with 58Roadmaster on account of the backlight and roofline. It would be higher in a sedan.
By the way, I'm with you 100% about paint color names.

Thanks Ray B. ! There is just a wealth of information held collectively by the members of this forum. If I could only be half as informed as, say, Pilou or Philr, I would be very happy. For now I am building a useful library. I would eventually like to see what is available outside of Krause Publications.
