This ad for the New Ford Crestliner appeared next to an ad for the Country Squire station wagon in the August 1950 edition of Flair magazine. Both of these post-war high-end cars from Ford represented a change from the past and began to take on the classic 1950’s look that we think of today.

The Crestliner model was discontinued by Ford within 5 years due to low car sales, but the two-tone style of course continued and began to represent the classic mid-century Ford.
