AND READY TO ENJOY! As Ford Motor Company celebrated its landmark
50th anniversary In 1953, the company also looked ahead for the
future with the futuristic X-100 and X-500 show cars, both
demonstrating Fords fast-growing emphasis on bold Dream Car styling
and new passenger amenities and safety features for its production
models. A brand new V-8 engine with modern overhead valves put the
trusty old flathead into the history books in 1954 and by 1956, the
new engine had grown into two basic versions displacing 292 and 312
cubic inches respectively. For 1955, the full-size Ford models were
so heavily restyled, they looked all-new, featuring beautiful
two-tone paint and interior treatments, attractive new bright trim,
and tastefully small tailfins for a totally fresh look. The
glamorous Sunliner convertible joined the top-of-the-line Fairlane
series for 1955 and proved very popular with buyers that year and
again in mildly updated form for 1956. Surviving examples are
highly drivable and enjoyable, with plenty of room for friends and
family to share the wonderful experience with you.Featuring
outstanding Black and White two-tone livery inside and out with a
top-quality Black cloth soft top, this beautiful 1956 Ford Fairlane
Sunliner convertible is now offered for sale on behalf of one of
