In this video we find an old abandoned 1952 Ford Crestline and see if we can get it to run and drive again after unknown years sitting in the field.

Fun fact everyone is correct it is a 54 I didn't realize Canadian-built cars continued with flathead v8 until the 1955

One of those $5.00, fifteen foot long flathead screwdrivers from Harbor Freight would be just the thing to unlock the trunk lid with, from the inside... I know, because that's about the only time ya need one 😂

My Grandfather had the same car, color. He sold it to our neighbors in 1960, they drove it till 1967, and it stayed in the garage after that. I went to college and the neighbors moved. I really enjoyed this episode. Glad you took your time, putting it together, Great Video! THANK YOU. lots of memories.

@56CrownVick 16 дней назад

The car looks like a 1954 Ford, and the dash is 1954 Ford (USA version). But in 1954 they had overhead valves so it may be a Canadian thing. Great project!

@rogercamp6071 15 дней назад

I thought it looked like a '54 also, one of my earliest memories is of a '54 Customline my aunt and uncle owned in the early sixties.

@beboboymann3823 16 дней назад

Mount a floor mounted winch at the back of your shop behind the two post lift. Put a cable on it long enuff to reach out the front overhead door. Then you can pull vehicles to your lift using the remote control for the winch. You are hitting it out of the park with your vids!

@gastupntruckin 16 дней назад

Hi Brent, this Ford is actually a ‘54. If it is a Canadian model it will be flathead powered. U.S. models for ‘54 had overheads in them, maybe 239 cubes. I had a ‘54 Canadian model that I swapped an overhead into. I had to cut the oil pan into 3 pieces and move the sump, I think to the middle from one end, all with gas welding. That was in 1966. Jeff, in Costa Rica.

@richardbrady2818 15 дней назад

Pull the heads, free up the valves, give it a complete tune up, clean the fuel system, did you ever add some oil, just change it. I bet Esther will just fall in love with this one, with all the red interior, oh ya

@highdesertworkshop 16 дней назад

one of my old high school buddys had a 52 4dr like that, good memories of the 60s and a lot of fun was had in it. They are 6 volt positive ground.

@bigbill709 16 дней назад

Good shape for the shape it's in.

@bigbill709 16 дней назад

Looks really solid all things considered.

@howardkoster4026 16 дней назад

All in all Brent, it's a clean machine. Body is pretty fair for it's age. The engine spins easy, low compression? Will it come back if it fires? I'm also thinking it's a 6 volt system. I thought 1956 was the 12V crossover year???

@vicmabus1532 16 дней назад

Pretty nice! I hope you keep the flattie...

@theodoreharper4565 16 дней назад

Hello Brent, I have one of those starter/ignition boxes. Used it when I worked years for a construction equipment dealer. Customers would install different start switches to prevent thief. I used it for years on everything. We built one in a company training class. I am very impressed with Ester's mechanical knowledge and love the praise she gives you. You two are a great team.

@TestECull 16 дней назад

44:10 Good engine. Flathead V8s are immortal and this one is running pretty nice all things considered. I don't hear a lick of noise from underneath it! The oil filter is nice, too...I'd almost bet money an FL-1A will fit that which is still readily available. Will make a hell of a mess when changed, though.

@edwinreece438 16 дней назад

Judging by the dash and the grille, I would say it was a 54. But 1953 was the last year for the flathead.

@curbmassa 16 дней назад

Yep. My guess is someone swapped the flathead into it or it`s some Canadian thing. `54 was the first year for ball joints, too.

@johnhere6058 12 дней назад

@@curbmassa Only in the USA did Ford put Y blocks in 54 model cars, Canada used flat heads until 55

@buffdelcampo 10 дней назад

@@curbmassa I can see this Canadian '54 has the same crossmember and suspension as the '53 US version. In '54, the US version got the round tube crossmember and the Y-block oil pan sump was up front. The US '53 and earlier had this crossmember, which was toward the front. Back in the day Chevy small blocks were an easy swap with the forward crossmember. It's interesting to see this car with a mix and match years compared to the US version.

I fell out the back door of a 52 like that when I was a little kid. I rolled like a ball in my snowsuit. Wasn't hurt one bit but dad got rid of that car the next day. Then he got a 56 two door hardtop. He wanted us to stay in the car.

@whatsoutthere6822 16 дней назад

Another way to check for ignition fire is to drop a quarter in the cap then open and close the points. It will spark from the center to the quarter and to the nearest connection in the cap. The quarter doesn't need to be on the center pin.

@briankinnear7461 14 дней назад

Great old Ford. Great revival. Runs and drives. Few more tweaks. My vote is invest some time and money in the flatty and see if you can get it running better. If you can then I'd say go further and bring the old Ford back to life. Old Fords this good should never die. Be safe and stay well.

A great video, had a neighbor who had 53 ford hardly use it. He would take it out to get it inspected and back in the garage. It amazes me how you pull something out of the place where it’s been sitting for years and missing parts and you’re able to get it back running, that’s true talent. Later
