Vehicle Description
It's great to see a 1956 Ford Mainline that has a ton of
originality - right down to its two-tone style. So you know
something this distinct is an instant crowd pleaser.
The mid-50s Fords were great cars. They had plenty of
Thunderbird-style flair with headlight overhand and
afterburner-style taillights. Plus, even these Mainline models had
terrific bright work with wraparound bumpers, a wide grille, sleek
side trim, and an integrated hood ornament. The Mainline name is a
great reminder of what people really bought and drove in the '50s,
and this has a terrific time capsule-like appearance - right down
to the factory-correct Springmist Green and Colonial White
two-tone. So driving this one really does feel like a rolling time
machine.
The authentic feeling continues on the inside. This one retains the
best of originality while still being a great showpiece. For
example, no one expects a front bench seat to last 60+ years and
still look presentable. So you can tell there was a solid
investment keeping this one looking fresh while saying correct. The
same goes for the dash, door panels, and even the gauges - giving
you a total package you'll be proud to show off. And if you want to
get to the car show before dawn, the working heat/defrost is a
must.
In a vehicle so unique already, it's really cool to see a
period-correct inline-six under the hood. After all, the bold red
block and intake stand out nicely against the painted firewall,
glossy black air topper, and matching valve cover. So expect to get
plenty of people marveling at this very correct total package.
You're going to want to drive this Ford, and so the column-mounted
three-speed manual transmission gives you full control over this
motor while also creating that ideal classic feeling.
There has been great care in preserving/restoring this classic, and
you can really see it in the details like the trunk and
undercarriage photos. So if you're looking for an affordable and
complete time capsule, don't let this one slip away. Call now!
