AJ’s Car of the Day: 1954 Ford Customline Club Coupe
Car: Ford Customline Club Coupe
Year: 1954
What makes it special: The Customline was produced by the Ford Motor Company for model years 1952 to 1956. The car was introduced in 1952 as the mid-range model in that year’s US Ford range, positioned below the Ford Crestline and above the Ford Mainline. It was offered in 2-door sedan, 4-door sedan, 2-door coupé & 4-door station wagon body styles. with the coupe marketed as the Club Coupe.
What made it famous: The 1954 Customlines used the 1952-53 bodies with only minor changes. Engines were now a 115 hp 223 cid inline six-cylinder or 130 hp 239 cid overhead valve V8.
Why I would want one: Love the 50’s Ford styling and use of chrome and brightwork.
Fun fact: The Customline was not carried over to the 1957 model year.

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1968 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe
Car: Cadillac Eldorado
Year: 1968
What makes it special: Cadillac’s Eldorado was a personal luxury car produced for the 1952 to 2002 model years, spanning just over ten generations. It was at or near the top of the Cadillac model line during the early model years.
What made it famous: The sixth generation Eldorado was completely redesigned for the 1967 model year and promoted as a personal Cadillac. It now shared its E-Body platform with Buick’s Rivietra and Oldsmobile’s Tornado. It now had front wheel drive in a unified powerplant package adapted to a standard Cadillac 429 V8 mated to a Turbo-Hydramatic 425 automatic transmission. Disc brakeswere an option, and it now had standard safety equipment like an energy absorbing steering column and padded dashboard.
Why I would want one: It was probably the sportiest, most stylish Cadillac ever made. Also the beginning of Front wheel drive for Cadillac models.
Fun fact: GM’s Unified Powerplant Package was later shared with the GMC Motorhome beginning in 1972.

AJ’s “Badass Friday” Car of the Day: 1973 Plymouth 340 Duster Hardtop Coupe
Car: Plymouth 340 Duster Hardtop Coupe
Year: 1973
What makes it special: The original Duster was a semi-fastback two-door coupe version of the Valiant model that was marketed by Plymouth from the 1970 to 1976 model years. Duster was also positioned to compete with Ford’s slightly smaller semi-fastback Maverick compact car and the AMC Hornet that were both also introduced in 1970, and the slightly larger semi-fastback Chevrolet Nova whose design was introduced in 1968. Several trim and option package variants of the Duster were offered with names that included Feather Duster, Gold Duster, Silver Duster, Space Duster, Duster Twister, Duster 340 and Duster 360. These marketing variations of the basic Duster design targeted customers seeking economy, cargo capacity, and/or performance.
What made it famous: Following the design changes on the Valiant models, the Duster also received a new hood, grille, front fenders, bumpers, and taillights for 1973. The taillights on previous years mounted from the inside and had a flush appearance. Taillights were mounted from the outside and were trimmed in chrome, remaining unchanged through 1976. Simpler single-piston slider-type disc brake calipers were introduced for 1973, standard on 318-powered cars and with power-assist on 340 models, replacing the Kelsey Hayes four-piston calipers. Disc brake-equipped Dusters now had the more-common 5-lugs on 4.5″ wheel bolt pattern. All 340 and some 318 engine-equipped cars received the simplified 8.25″ rear axle assembly with wheel bearings riding directly on the axle shaft and endplay being taken by C-clips. These axles also featured the 5-on-4.5″ wheel bolt pattern, replacing the 8.75″ “drop-out” arrangement seen on some 1966-1972 A-bodies. A 3-speed Torque Flight automatic along with a manual transmission was offered with the 225 slant six. Electronic ignition became standard across the board.
Why I would want one: I’ve always loved the Plymouth Duster. Any model that gets a V8 when originally designed for economy always means instant factory hot rod.
Fun fact: The Plymouth Duster’s logo was, and still remains, one of the most recognizable automobile logos.
