Vehicle Description

1956 Ford Sunliner
The name Sunliner adorned all full sized Ford convertibles from 1952 until 1962. This car is a 1956 model which was a landmark year for Ford. It was a time of prosperity which fueled a horsepower race among car manufacturers where Ford was a top contender. But, in 1956 Ford turned an eye toward safety and what they called the lifesaver design. The steering wheel was dished so as to provide some energy absorbing, seat belts were offered along with the padded dash and sun visors as factory options.
In 1956 this model Sunliner with Thunderbird V8 sold very well with 57,872 units. For comparison only 275 buyers opted for the inline six cylinder. The Thunderbird V8s were offered in two flavors; the 292 cu. in. and the 312 cu. in. both had four barrel carburetors, or 4V as Ford literature called them (the V is for venturi). 1956 also introduce a 12 Volt electrical system, so in many ways the 1956 Sunliner is a big step up compared with the 1955 version whose style was only slightly different.
For auction we have a lovely powder blue and white model with 200 HP, 292 cu. in. V8 and 4V carburetor. The car is all decked out with the extras like dual spotlights, continental kit, color coordinated blue convertible top, fender skirts, Ford-o-matic transmission, power steering, full wheel covers, and lots more.. The interior is original design in blue and white vinyl, and the dash is covered with the lifesaver padding.
This makes the perfect cruise in ride for all car collectors. It will be a true collector car for years to come.

Estimate: $35,000-$50,000
