In 1952, Ford Motor Company was in danger of going belly-up. Their ’49-’51 car line proved to be leaky, squeaky, and under-insulated. That all changed in ’52 with the newer, re-skinned model car line. Improvements to practically all aspects of their cars saved the company, as production and sales boomed like never before. The ’52-’54 Fords were tighter, more solid and insulated, and therefore saved the company from eventual ruin, and the ’53 model year in particular marked the last hurrah of the venerable Ford V-8 flathead engine. 1954 ushered in the new “Y-block” V-8, which would serve Ford well for some years to come. <\/span><\/p>\n

This was actually the Lindberg ’53 Ford Convertible Pace Car kit that I converted to a formal daily driver version.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the Modeler:<\/strong> At first I was loathe to build this kit, since the last time I did, it was such a frustrating experience I ended up throwing it against a wall. Learning a valuable lesson from my previous encounter with this kit, I decided to take my time, use some patience (definitely not my forte), and make sure the build was successful. The inner fenders were the reason for the previous catastrophe, but careful planning and a “thinking outside the box” approach made it a success. It actually turned out better than I expected. However, this kit is most definitely NOT for the beginning modeler, and intermediate modelers (like myself) may encounter issues that may or may not be overcome, depending on one’s experience. Advanced modelers shouldn’t have any problems with the kit, and most likely already have plans to chop\/channel\/pancake, etc. and are simply using it as a donor. Engine detailing, scratch building a dipstick, corrections to the instruction sheet, engine build sequence modifications, the use of buffing metalizers for realistic suspension finishes, authentic interior, exterior and chassis finishes, A-arm modifications, creating poseable wheels, part swapping, wheel retainer issues, steering column correction, fender fit issues, and a scratch built antennae are all fully examined in the Step-by-Step review.<\/span><\/p>\n
