Vehicle Description
Blending the best of the classic style and a custom presentation,
this 1956 Ford Fairlane is a true standout. And as you dig deeper
to discover impressive details - from the original invoice to new
A/C components - you'll a see a classic with everything you
want.
This Ford has been given a terrific restoration for those who like
to hunt for the details. For example, the paint was re-finished
close to a shade of the 1956-correct color combo of Goldenglow
Yellow and Colonial White. It makes for a great period-correct
feeling with some added distinction. You see that all over this
example with cool additions like the shining grille expertly
integrated from a Plymouth front end, chrome wheels with wide
whitewalls, and blue-dot taillights. And have you noticed how
nearly all the trim has been shaven (even the door handles) for an
added dose of slickness? But one piece of trim that will always
remain is the dipping line that runs from the headlight to the
tail. It provides a great dividing line for the two-tone, and it's
a true hallmark of these Fords.
The interior continues the classic feeling with cool upgrades. For
example, the yellow and white two-tone theme is also found inside
for a great custom look. But now the white seats have been
refinished to have a tuck and roll inserts - exactly what you want
on a '50s classic! Not only do these seats feel fresh, but also so
do the door panels, carpeting, and headliner. This is a great place
to spend some time, especially with some key upgrades. So while the
original AM radio is still on display, the real tunes come from a
more modern AM/FM unit hidden in the glovebox. They have even
installed the full provisions for air conditioning. You'll slip
behind the classic Ford steering wheel, and this gives you a great
view of the classic gauge package as well as the large Moon tach
added to the column.
The 292 cubic-inch Ford Y-block V8 motor was an optional powerplant
borrowed from the Thunderbird. It's nice to see this displacement
still in this M-code car, and it even has extra power thanks to an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. You can tell they made a nice
investment in keeping this looking correct with the glossy black
engine bay, bold red block, and correct Thunderbird Special valve
covers. Out on the road, the optional Ford-O-Matic automatic
transmission keeps everything running smooth as you enjoy the
throaty sounds of the glasspack-style dual exhaust. It's these
kinds of touches that keep the Fairlane one of the coolest ways
aimlessly wander the boulevard on a Saturday night.
This one comes with its original bill of sale out of California,
which is another really cool touch to a cruiser that looks like
it's a true '50s-style California custom. So if you miss out on
something this unique, you may never find it again. Call
