1953 Ford Country Sedan Custom Line Series

Description: 1953 Ford "Country Sedan" 4 Door, 9 Passenger Station Wagon. Was assembled at the Long Beach, California Plant, and was a California Car from new until 2018 when I moved to Texas. I am the Second Owner of this Car!!! I purchased it off of the Used Car Lot at Walker-Buerge Ford at 11800 Santa Monica Blvd., West Los Angeles, California, on September 9th, 1964. I have now Owned it for 60 Years! It is still about 90% Original. Mileage on the Day I Purchased it was 24,000 - Mileage is now 88,119, so I drove it 64,000 Miles in 60 Years! Still has a 239 CID Flathead Engine and Three Speed Transmission (I have a 3 Speed Overdrive Transmission and Cable that I Picked Up at a Swap Meet a few years ago but should be Serviced or Re-Built before use if you wish to Install it in the Car. I can include it if you would like it). Engine and Transmission were Rebuilt back in the 1990's. In the Rebuild, I installed Offenhauser Heads, Edelbrock Twin Carburetors, Intake Manifold with Twin Holley Carburetors and Headers. Also Installed Duel Exhaust with Glass Pack Mufflers. I also converted the car over to a 12 Volt Electrical System and Installed a Brand New Wiring Harness at the same time. Car was Re-Painted in 1977 in a Two Tone Carnival Red with Sandstone Yellow around the Window area. Front and Rear Bumpers were Re-Plated also at that time. Interior Seats were Re-Upholstered in Red and Black (Still has the Third Row Seat) with Black Headliner and Black Carpeting. The rest of the Interior is Original like the Door Panels which are still in Fair Condition. Some Exterior Trim Pieces were replaced with Original Parts and NOS Parts back in the 1960' and 1970's that were still available at the Ford Agency Parts Department at the time. The Radio still played last time I turned it on ( took it out in the 1990's to put in a Cassette Tape Player but just recently put it back in Dash but not hooked up). The Clock still works but may need contacts cleaned and Lite Sewing Machine Oil on Moving Parts, as I have not serviced it in a while. It is a Westclock that I found in a Wrecking Yard back in 1970 in Arizona. Heater Works - put in a new Core some years back. Brakes have a Duel Reservoir that a Mechanic Friend found for me to replace the Single one that the Cars originally came with, for better safety. Just installed a Brand New Clutch Kit from Dennis Carpenter Ford Parts in August, 2024. Also Replaced the Fuel Regulator, Coil, and Distributor Condenser, Contact, Points, and Rotor in a Tune-Up as well. Also Changed the Motor Oil and Oil Filter. The Grille was Recently Re-Plated and just installed back on the Car. Due to Turning 75 Years Old this year, I am not able to enjoy the Car like I have in the Past 60 Years, so I made the Hard Decision to Sell the Car after all this time. I have a Folder with all my Receipts of Work done on the car dating back to 1964, which I will include with the Car. If you have any Questions, Please Feel Free to ask!
