    Ford is like Chevy, just faster and less rusted.

    Part of the value issue is that, well.. how often do you see a 54 Ford built to THAT level? You've almost certainly got one of the best 54 Fords in America and I'd damn near guarantee that it's the best 54 Ranch Wagon on the planet.

    Moot point I guess because of the car's history, but it's worth "stupid" money.

    Most of these cars are like my 54 Customline Fordor, somewhat presentable chrome and paint, so so interior, but runs great. It's a $4-5k driver, but that's exactly what I do with it, drive the wheels off of it!

    PICS Requested.

    Id skip the flat black and red wheels, hit it with satin or just shoot it in single stage enamel in a light color, those cars look great in pale green, yellow, cream, then stripe it up.
    get some pics up so we can see what youre working with.
