A couple of issues with this article, which seems to be very well done:
I thought I read somewhere that the Ford-O-Matic transmission — the first automatic in the Ford lines — was first offered in 1951. This can easily be verified and upon this, should be added to the article. Note, too, that the other "low-priced three" marque — the Plymouth — didn't have its automatic until early 1954.
Shouldn't we use a photo of a fully factory stock Ford in the infobox, in place of the customized model there? I agree that the 1949-1951 models are/were often customized, but the article is about the car as it originally came from the factory. I'm sure there is a place somewhere in the article where it can be stated that the car is frequently customized, however.
Other than that, perhaps a bit of an expansion on the Crestliner model (i.e., what set it apart from "regular" Fords and made it a more premium model) and there we go.
What's with the "GMH"? That is the initials of the Australian Holden subsidiary of GM. This article is not very well done at all, it is shabbily written, considering the importance of this model.
