This 1956 Ford Mainline does a great job of keeping the true
cruiser style of Ford's mainstream offering. But as you look over
the whole car, you can also see it has been tastefully updated in
the right places to maximize its vintage appeal.
This has the right look we like on a Mainline. It's not trying for
a modern fancy style with extra-wide wheels or a big hood scoop.
Instead, it retains a true vintage look where you can take time to
see original details like how the trim looks like two chrome
bumpers wrapping around the front and the tailfins with afterburner
style tail lights. Even the upgraded red paint has an honesty and
driver quality that looks right for a mainstream car. But while the
Mainline is the working-class hero, this one also likes to take
advantage of the admiration that grows with age. So it was upgraded
with the best pieces of the '56 Fords. It starts with the
Fairlane's silver streak full-length trim It was one of the
best-looking features of the era with the kind of stylish appeal of
a Wurlitzer jukebox. So You know it's an addition we're always
happy to see. It also utilizes fender skirts, updated wheel covers,
upgraded dual exhaust tips, and both Fairlane and Club Sedan
badging.
The interior has a cool two-tone style. It looks particularly nice
on the seats with detailed and comfortable upholstery. It
coordinates nicely with the headliner, carpeting, dash, and
two-tone door panels. It's all about being an attractive car with a
driver-ready feeling at its heart. That's why you have nice cruiser
upgrades like a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner that includes
modern Bluetooth. And you can hear your favorite music loud and
clear thanks to upgraded Kicker panel speakers. Plus, the auxiliary
readouts under the dash give you a clear view of what's going on
under the hood.
In a vehicle so unique already, it's really cool to see a
period-correct 223 cubic-inch inline-six under the hood. After all,
the bold red block and intake stand out nicely against the all the
tidy black of the engine bay. You're going to want to drive this
Ford, and so the column-mounted three-speed manual transmission
gives you full control over this motor while also creating that
ideal classic feeling.
This Mainline gives you the right mix of an honest classic that has
also been given the right investments for a true cruiser. That
makes for true vintage fun. Call today!!!
