Very nice 1954 Ford Customline Ranch Wagon. As there is no V8 Badge on the front Fender, I presume that it has the Mileage Maker Six?

I believe this is HRP's '54. If it is then it has a small block Ford and a T-5.

The wagon was purchased new by Jessie Fredericks in Anderson, South Carolina from Blue Ridge Motors, she used the wagon for her flower shop & deliveries, when she retired the car she gave it to her son in law for hunting and fishing, he later gave it to my wife Brenda, it stayed in the barn for many years then I spent 7 years getting it back on the road.

The ivory six and 3 on the tree has been replaced with a 5.0 V* along with a 5 speed transmission.

HRP, that is a beautiful wagon! Thanks for posting the link to the pictures of the restoration, an amazing amount of metal work to get it where it is today.

Was that imported from the USA and converted to RHD ?
Or did they build 2 door wagons in Australia ?

scicala, the only 1956 Fords that were sold new in Australia was the Ford Customline Four Door Sedan and Mainline Utility. You guys in the USA don't know how lucky you are with the vast array of Body Styles to chose from. That is why in recent times, these different Body Styles have been imported into Australia. By the way, all Australian RHD 1956 Fords used the 1955 Ford Dash.

Thanks for all of the info. It's good to get educated on this.
