The Ford Sunliner was a convertible model produced by Ford as part of its full-size car lineup. The Sunliner name was used for convertible versions of various Ford models, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s. One of the most notable iterations was as part of the Fairlane series. In 1952, Ford introduced the Sunliner as a convertible option within the Victoria model. However, it wasn't until 1954, with the introduction of the second-generation Ford Sunliner, that it became a distinct convertible model. The Sunliner featured a power-retractable convertible top, providing drivers with the option to enjoy open-air motoring. Throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Sunliner continued to be part of Ford's convertible lineup, showcasing the styling trends of each model year. Notably, the Sunliner was available as part of the Fairlane and Galaxie series, embodying the spirit of the era with its chrome accents, tailfins, and V8 engine options. In the mid-1960s, as Ford continued to evolve its model lineup, the Sunliner name was gradually phased out, and the convertible versions of Ford's full-size cars were simply referred to as convertibles. The shift reflected changes in automotive styling and consumer preferences during that period. While the specific Sunliner model designation may not have persisted beyond the 1960s, the legacy of Ford convertibles and open-top motoring endured. Convertible models remained a part of Ford's lineup in various forms over the years, contributing to the company's diverse offerings and reflecting the changing tastes of automotive enthusiasts.
