Ford Customline

[2] Cars were assembled using Australian built bodies and imported chassis kits which included all front sheet metal.

[7] In addition to the Customline sedan, a limited number of station wagons [8] and the Australian developed Mainline Coupe Utility were produced.

[9] This included the 1954 model which was fitted with the older Chassis and engine rather than the new overhead valve Y-block V8 which had been introduced in the US for 1954.

Australian 1954 Fords also used King Pin front suspension and still had 1952 rear Quarter Panels.

[10] The 1955 model was powered by the overhead valve Y-block V8 which had entered partial Australian production with locally sourced components.

[11] The 1956 model featured the 1956 US Customline grille, 12 volt electrics and a new Fordomatic automatic transmission option.

[11] The 1957 model retained the 1956 body but featured a large V8 badge positioned in the grille and utilized 1956 Ford Fairlane trim.
