Vehicle Description
There have been some solid investments in this 1956 Ford Fairlane
Victoria to make it a true standout classic. After all, the
two-tone gives a great first impression. The interior has what you
really want, like an upgraded stereo and A/C. And the
period-correct V8 has the added pep to be a comfortable
cruiser.
The Raven Black and Fiesta Red is a striking color combo, and so
it's even more impressive when you find out that this is the
factory-correct two-tone. And while it was born in these colors, it
was refreshed later in life to retain a proper luster. There's
extra care in the brightwork details. You see it in the front,
where the grille tapers inward to make the stylish bumper look even
more commanding. And the rear bumper has the dual exhaust
integrated into the wraparound corners. Plus, the full-length trim
divides the two-tone, the window surrounds draw added attention to
the pillarless hardtop profile, and the wheel covers have a classic
design with the Ford family crest at the center. It all makes for a
coupe that really looks upper-class
The full two-tone style continues inside. Possibly the most
attractive place are the custom seats that have terrific details
like the perforated inserts and red piping. Not only do these seats
feel fresh, but also the dash is smooth, the door panels match, the
carpeting is plush, and the headliner is in great condition. It
makes this 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 Sony AM/FM/CD stereo with
USB input placed in the custom under-dash console. And since the
air conditioning is blowing nice and cold with modern R134a
refrigerant, it makes it even nicer to roll down all the windows on
and cruiser around in this pillarless hardtop. The driving
experience still keeps all the right vintage details, right down to
the classic/grippy steering wheel. But there's also an added
auxiliary gauge trio so that you're fully informed when you
drive.
This is an M-code coupe, and so it's great to have a year-correct
292 cubic-inch Ford Y-block V8 still under the hood. They were
borrowed from the Thunderbird, and so it earns the badging on the
fenders and valve covers. While this engine bay looks correct and
tidy, there are also the right upgrades that drivers want. It means
extra power with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Mummert
intake. It's also supported by the right pieces, like the 12-volt
electrical system and an aluminum radiator. It's an all-around good
cruiser with a Ford-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, and front disc brakes.
Complete with owner's manual, this hardtop is built with all the
right features for those who love to show off something substantial
and detailed. So if you love getting those lingering stares from
other drivers, this one's ready to deliver all weekend long. Call
