Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1956 Ford
Fairlane Victoria.�
HISTORY
The first time Ford used the "victoria" as a naming convention was
in 1932 on the�Ford Victoria�2-door coupe.�Ford's�1954Crestline
Skyliner�was replaced in 1955 by the�Fairlane Crown Victoria
Skyliner, based on the new�1955 Ford�design. It shared the flashy
chrome "basket handle" which stretched the�B-pillar�across the roof
of the 1955�Crown Victoria�model but added a smoked�acrylic
glass�window over the front seat area. It was a interpretation of a
horse-drawn carriage bodystyle, called a "victoria". The model,
commonly referred to as the "Glasstop Vicky" lasted just two years,
with sales slipping sharply as customers realized the trouble of
keeping the car cool. An optional snap-in sunshade or�air
conditioning�system were desirable. The Skyliner name was later
applied to the�Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner�hardtop convertible�based
on the�1957 Ford.
Similar roof panels were used on�General Motors�products of the
time. The concept of a single, fixed window over the front seat
reappeared in the late 1970s on Lincoln's
full-size�Continental�models (through 1979), and later, over the
rear seat of General Motors' 1991�Oldsmobile Custom
Cruiser�and�Buick Roadmaster�wagons. Currently, the 2004-2009�Opel
Astra�offers a "panoramic windshield", which is similar in concept.
