Video Description

Craig Cole's next project car is the 1951 Ford Crestliner he's restoring. He previously restored a 1936 Ford V8 Fordor. The so-called "shoebox" Ford holds a special place in automotive history. As Craig explains, it's credited with saving the company from Henry Ford's mismanagement, among other things.
