Vehicle Description
Not just beautiful, but exceptionally rare, too - that's what
you'll tell everyone at the car shows when they see this 1956 Ford
Crown Victoria. After all, less than 2% of '56 Fairlane production
was this top-of-the-line Crown Victoria. So those who love
distinction should dig into the details on this well-restored
coupe.
This Crown Vic knows how to make a scene the moment it arrives. The
two-tone Peacock Blue and Colonial White is a factory-correct color
combination, and they invested in a high-quality, high-gloss
respray. The reason why this looks fresh on everything is because
there's less than 3,400 miles on the car since restoration. Fords
of this era were truly distinctive with their sweeping chrome trim
that runs from the headlight all the way back to the tail. And it's
the perfect way to separate the two-tone combination. It's easy to
distinguish the Crown Victorias as the range-topping end of the
already premium Ford Fairlanes, because only these have the
encompassing brightwork that visually separates the front and rear
passenger compartments. You can really tell they made a big
investment in the chrome, because not only does the trim shine with
distinction, but also the big chrome bumpers and desirable Kelsey
Hayes wire wheels. And because this is going for the best in 1950s
premium, you also have all the right custom touches like fender
skirts, dual antennas, and whitewall tires. There's also the
Continental kit with the dual exhaust coming out of the bumper -
just like Ford's other premium car: the Thunderbird.
Inside feels like a time machine. The two-tone interior is
exceptionally attractive with bright white seats and textured blue
peacock pattern inserts. The carpeting, sun visors, headliner,
dash, and all other essentials have a crisp and fresh appearance.
In the highest echelon of Ford coupes, even the rear seats received
the same style treatment. And the roomy bench even has an armrest
for individual luxury. So family and friends will love to go for a
ride, especially with the added R-134A A/C blowing cold! And while
the whole package has a very crisp and vintage presentation,
there's an AM/FM stereo with modern USB/AUX hidden the glovebox. So
you can keep the classic atmosphere but still have the best in
modern driving music.
The Thunderbird badging on the front fender is no accident. Ford's
292 cubic-inch motor was called the Thunderbird V8, and so it earns
the badging on the outside and the stylish valve covers on the
big/bold red engine. Not only is this era-correct block one of the
largest motors Ford offered back then, but also this one has been
enhanced with a Carter AFB competition-series four-barrel
carburetor. This restored coupe fires up nicely, runs well, and
makes a nice but dignified tune out of the dual exhaust. It really
is built to cruise with a smooth feeling out on the road that comes
from an overall investment in quality. There's also power steering,
power brakes, rear air shocks, and the two-speed automatic
transmission. Plus, you'll really appreciate the added stopping
power from the upgrade to drilled and slotted front disc
brakes.
Quality, nobility, and exceptional rarity - we know why this Crown
Victoria appeals to you. Don't let something this beautiful slip
