Vehicle Description
This 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner underwent an impressive
restoration and has an absolutely exquisite look both inside and
out. 1955 was the first year for Ford's newest top-of-the-line
model, the Fairlane, supplanting Ford's Crestline as the new
flagship model. Interestingly, the name "Fairlane" was borrowed
from Henry Ford's breathtaking and expansive Dearborn, Michigan
estate "Fair Lane." The flagship Fairlane models featured a totally
new look for Ford, with longer, wider, and lower bodies, "V" shaped
side trim, fender skirts, special Fairlane badging, and chrome
headlight trim. Also introduced by Ford to all of its models in
1955 were panoramic wraparound windshields, which were on General
Motors' premium level marques including Oldsmobile, Buick, and
Cadillac. This particular '55 Sunliner spent its time after its
extensive restoration in the hands of two prominent east coast
collectors who have maintained the car in an exemplary manner. A
272 Cubic Inch V8 engine with a single 4 barrel carburetor is found
under the hood on this '55 Ford and this power pack car push out
over 190 horsepower in its day. The 272 V8 is hooked up to an
Automatic Transmission that allows just about anyone to take a
cruise in this Sunliner. With Power Steering, driving this stunning
'55 Ford Sunliner is even more comfortable. The exterior on this 55
Sunliner Convertible has been beautifully refinished in its
original color, Raven Black. The white vinyl powered convertible
top is in superb condition and goes up and down with ease with the
simple toggle of a switch. This '55 Ford Sunliner sits on 4 wide
whitewall bias-ply Firestone tires with wire hubcaps, giving this
convertible a classic 50s look. The interior on this 1955 Fairlane
Sunliner is absolutely stunning! The red and white vinyl bench
seats have all been reupholstered in the original color scheme and
are in excellent condition. The steering wheel, door panels, and
dash are also in superb shape, matching the beautiful red and white
color scheme carried throughout the interior. The dash is equipped
with a 120 MPH Speedometer, fuel gauge, and temperature gauge,
along with an AM radio and clock. A classic 50s-style tissue
dispenser is also tucked neatly under that dash. Whether you are in
search of your very first classic car or you have a garage full of
fifties Fords, this 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner would be an
excellent choice. Give us a call today!
