1950 saw a new Crestliner “sports sedan”—a 2-door sedan with 2-tone paint intended to battle Chevrolet’s popular hardtop coupe of 1950. The 1949 and 1950 styling was similar, ith 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, oronation Red Metallic and Black or Sportsman’s Green and Black. This was Ford’s only two-tone vehicle in its line-up.
