Advertised as, “the standard for the American road.” Ford continued to use the previous year’s bodies, but received moderate trim updating. New convenience features were added, such as power windows, brakes and seats. A new high compression V-8 was added along with an updated front suspension which now had ball joints instead of kingpins. A first for Ford was the exclusive Skyliner, which features an entire front section of the roof with a tinted, transparent panel, giving the car an open car feeling. Only 13,344 Skyliners were built in 1954.
