Vehicle Description
Ford was hitting on all eight cylinders in 1955, and this restored
Fairlane Club Sedan really showcases it the best. With proper V8
power, an exceptionally authentic presentation, and a terrific
two-tone inside and out, this is true post-war optimism on
wheels.
With a fresh coat of paint, this two-door looks amazing. The
Mountain Green and Sea Spirit Green really has great '50s flair.
These Fords were instantly recognizable with their sweeping chrome
trim that divided the two-tone combinations, and it extended from
the headlight all the way back to the tail. It serves to lengthen
the car and adds artful angles to the sheetmetal. Speaking of the
panels, take some time to appreciate how straight every piece
looks. Without this attention to detail the trim would never look
as stellar, and the profile wouldn't be this nice. The restoration
also invested in quality with items like the window seals and
shining new bumpers. And they even made sure to get all the best
details right, like the fender skirts, Thunderbird-inspired
taillights, factory wheel covers, and the massive hood ornaments
leading the way.
Inside, the two-tone green coordinates nicely with the exterior.
It's comfortable to sit in and great to show off when this one is
parked. Plus, the side panels, carpeting, and dash are all part of
this harmonized package to create a quality uniform appearance.
Even the piping in the seats is part of this matched two-tone, so
you know they really spent time and money on this one. This a true
time capsule interior, and so you get everything from the
Thunderbird-style Plexiglas speedometer, to the AM radio that's
still cranking out tunes.
Under the hood is Ford's trusty and powerful 272 cubic-inch Ford V8
motor, and it's presented quite nicely for this U-code Fairlane. So
you'll enjoy all the correct components like the tall silver oil
bath air cleaner, Ford script on the valve covers, bold red block,
and even the windshield washer fluid bag. And because this is set
up to be a true cruiser, you have a two-speed automatic
transmission and the brakes have been upgraded to a dual master
cylinder. And as you look over this whole car, don't forget about
the undercarriage photos. The ultra-clean presentation is yet
another reminder of the restoration's attention to detail.
This is a rare Ford that has been restored to an exceptional level
of quality. Don't let something this beautiful slip through your
fingers. Call today!!!
