robertlane Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Since Ford has filed for the 'SKYLINE' trademark for new usage on autos, we've decided to add a forum for it, which can be found here: https://blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/160-skyline/ Alternatively, the Facebook group page is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fordskyline 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 That's sure to get the attention of Nissan fans. I'm surprised they're able to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not registered here in the US. So Nissan doesn’t have a current claim to the name in this market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordBuyer Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I always liked the name Sunliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Odd name to pick since it is associated with such an iconic car (and the PlayStation generation will surely recognize it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackinaw Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Exactly. The Ford Skyliner dates back to 1957. It was a hardtop "convertible." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHoncho01 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 It appears the original Ford use for Skyliner referred to the retractable hardtop as it was used on both the Galaxie and Fairlane 500 between 1957 - 1959. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twintornados Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Of course, Ford also used the name Starliner and Sunliner on a series of Galaxie full size Fords.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I wonder if this could be a name used on Fords version of Jeep’s freedom top (I think that’s what it’s called - the fixed roof with retractable soft roof) for Bronco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It first appeared in 1954: Ford Crestline - Wikipedia Then continued for 1955-56: Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria Skyliner - Wikipedia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
