Ford Crestline Skyliner
The Ford Crestline Skyliner is an automobile that was built by Ford featuring a 2 door hardtop body style with an integrated acrylic glass panel over the front seating area.[3] Part of the 1954 American Ford Crestline range, it boasted a "freshness of view" through the green-tinted panel. 13,144 were sold in the single year of production, more than the two years of Crown Victoria Skyliner production that would follow.
