Description

For 1954, Ford's Sunliner Convertible and Victoria Hardtop Coupe had carried over from the previous year, but new to the catalogue was the 1954 Crestline Skyliner, a hardtop coupe that had a glass roof section over the front seat. The factory brochure pronounced it "Glamorous Anywhere!" and glamorous it was. With a blue-green tint, the glass admitted "a soft, diffused light, yet filter[ed] out 60% of the sun's rays," and a zip-in curtain was furnished for times when sunlight was not desired. Ford sold only 13,344 Skyliners, as opposed to 36,685 Sunliner Convertibles, making the glass roof Skyliner nearly three times as rare.
