Why This Car Is Special
The 1956 Ford Victoria we have at Skyway Classics is your chance to
get your hands on something rare, beautiful, and exceptionally
interesting. Ours has been completely restored and painted in
factory-correct Fiesta Red and Colonial White.
It looks great with all its chrome, the "Continental" rear spare
tire bumper, and the optional fender skirts.
Mechanical
When you open the hood you'll find the 292 cubic inch Ford Y-block
V8 motor which was one of the largest motors Ford offered back
then. The authentic restoration continues in the engine bay. It
looks almost as good as it did the day it left the factory in
Louisville Ky back in 1956.
The motor wears its correct oil bath air cleaner, chrome valve
covers, red engine block, windshield "See Clear" washer bag, and
more. The engine is mated to an automatic transmission with the
exhaust exiting the rear.
Interior
The restored interior matches the outside paint scheme with its
beautiful red and white colors on the seats front and rear, side
panels that have a similar flowing design to emulate the exterior
trim, dashboard with recessed gauge package, and red painted
steering wheel,
Exterior
These 1956 coupe look lower, wider, and longer feel than earlier
models and the matching two-tone exterior really gives it the 50s
look. The Vicky rides on wide whitewalls, red painted factory
wheels, and factory hubcaps to give it that factory stock look.
Conclusion
This rare 1956 Ford Victoria we have at Skyway Classics has been
restored to a great level and you will be proud to own and drive it
to the car shows or raises ear round.
