Vehicle Description
The 1955 Ford Fairlane was already desirable for having a larger V8
available than what was in the Chevy. Plus, when you see all the
bright chrome and its impressive two-tone style inside and out, you
start to really appreciate how this classic is true art deco on
wheels.
Following quite close to the 1950s color theme of Bermuda Blue and
Snowshoe White, this Fairlane really has a great vintage flair. And
you can see that the paint is a later application that was applied
with a professional hand. These Fords were instantly recognizable
with their sweeping chrome trim that divided the two-tone
combinations, and it extended from the headlight all the way back
to the tail. It serves to lengthen the car and adds artful angles
to the sheet metal. Speaking of the panels, take some time to
appreciate how straight it all is and the way the doors close with
confidence. Without this attention to detail, this car would not
look nearly as sleek as it is. And details are what this car does
best. The bright chrome grille is flanked by large parking lights,
the Thunderbird inspired the tail lights, and there are rear fender
skirts that come with the sale. Plus, that brightwork trim that
reaches over the roof was a true distinction that you didn't see
anywhere else.
The turquoise and white interior coordinates nicely with the
exterior. We're especially fond of the tuck and roll inserts in the
seats that are comfortable to sit in and great to show off when
this one is parked. Plus, the side panels, headliner, and dash are
all part of this blue and white package to create a quality uniform
appearance. And speaking of the dash, we know you love the
period-correct touches like the Thunderbird-style Plexiglas
speedometer and the AM radio that's there for display. In fact, the
only upgrades you may spot just make this classic a better cruiser
like the auxiliary gauge trio. The level of detail on this coupe
even extends to the trunk where it still has its stand-up full-size
spare with correct blue steel wheel.
Part of what makes this a solid classic cruiser is also about
what's under the hood. The 272 cubic-inch V8 is the right
displacement for the era, and it was larger than the small block
V8s over at Chevy. This one looks quite authentic in the engine
bay, but you can also see the right signs of good maintenance. Add
in power steering and an automatic transmission, and this is the
sharp two-tone machine that knows how to hit the boulevard.
You're looking at a complete and cool turn-key cruiser. So when a
coupe like this is so nicely priced, you know you need to hurry to
grab this deal. Call today!!!
