The 1949 and 1950 styling was similar, with a single central "bullet" in the frowning chrome grille. The new Fords got the now-famous "Ford Crest" which appeared on the division's vehicles for many decades in one form or another. Ford offered the Crestliner in two color combinations, Coronation Red Metallic and Black or Sportsman's Green and Black. This was Ford's only two-tone vehicle in its line-up. Finished in a Sportman's Green and black custom paint, this sedan shows extremely well. All the original trim is present, complete and brilliant., however this "Crestliner" takes the trim a step (or two) further with the trim accessories from a 1951 Crestiner. We'll try to list all the options, but you'll have to see them in the pictures...to believe them! The headlights are adorned with chrome eyelids, the hood sports a "Rocket" hood ornament, front fenders come with chrome stars and lower fender protectors...chrome of course. Duel mounted spot lights, chrome handle guards color matching outside windshield visor, air vent window ventilation accessories and chrome rear fender tail fins with green "jewel" accents.
