Debuting in 1952, the Crestline was introduced as the top trim level of the 1952 Ford range, above the intermediate-level Customline and base level Mainline. The Crestline was offered in Victoria, Sunliner and Country Squire versions with 2-door hardtop, 2-door convertible and 4-door station wagon body styles respectively. Crestlines were offered only with a 239 CID "flathead" V8 engine. For 1953, the Crestline was updated with minor styling and trim changes
It retained its position as the top trim level in the Ford range while body styles and engine availability also remained unchanged.
