Vehicle Description
1956 Ford Sedan Delivery
Ford has long offered a sedan delivery, skipping only the 1948-1951
period. The new two-door Ranch Wagon for 1952 provided an ideal
opportunity to return the style to the catalogue, but this time
with a new name, the Courier. The recipe was simple: replace the
Ranch Wagon's rear side windows with blank panels and leave out
most of the seats. A side-hinged rear door replaced the liftgate
and tailgate, and the buyer had a choice of six-cylinder or V-8
power. Many chose the six for its low cost and economy of
operation.
This general approach, mirroring the Ranch Wagon year by year,
continued until 1956. A tailgate and liftgate eventually became
optional. As the Courier Sedan is a utility vehicle by nature, its
upholstery and appointments generally followed the entry-level
Mainline car series. A few business people, however, desired more
style and better amenities.
With only 8,757 Sedan Delivery's built by Ford in 1956, this is one
very desirable find. While this car is not a running or driving
car, it has a lot of potential. All the metal work has been done,
and the body is in primer ready for the finesse work to start. This
car was an original 272 Ci V8 with standard transmission,
unfortunately the engine and transmission are no longer with the
car. Almost all the other parts needed to reassemble the car are in
boxes and are included with the purchase. According to the vin #
this car was built in Mahwah, New Jersey. Purchase this car today
and you will certainly own a very rare piece of history.
