2023 Market Review - Ford US models 1936-1962

Kids from the 1950s who are now candidates for Grey Nomad status would be shocked to see the money being sought for V8 Fords that once towed their family caravans.

Side-valve Customs from the early 1950s exceed $40,000 and some ambitious vendors have priced later, overhead-valve Customlines at twice that amount. $80,000 prices are possible in this age range but are generally reserved for Skyliner or Sunliner imports with their complex folding tops.

Big, Australian-built ‘tank’ Fairlane 500s in excellent order can reach $40,000, with Ranch Wagon station wagons – if any survive – worth more.

Canadian sourced, 1957-58 300 Hardtops occasionally pop up at less than $50,000.

V8 Sedan/Coupe 1936-48 $47,400 [5]

Custom/Customline 1949-54 $41,570 [7]

Customline/Star 1955-59 $62,585 [6]

Crown H/Top 1952-57 $57,500 [1]

Fairlane 300/500 1959-62 $26,725 [4]

Skyliner/Sunliner 1955-59 $89,000 [6]
