Vehicle Description
This 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria is a classic blue oval cruiser
with a fantastic 50s look! In 1955, Ford replaced its premium
Crestline models with a brand new top-of-the-line Fairlane which
was named after the Ford Family's Fair Lane Estate in Michigan.
Ford completely redesigned its product offerings in '55 with the
new-look Fords bearing flatter hoods, wider and longer bodies, and
wraparound windshields. Due to the success of Ford's '55 Fairlane
models, the company made only a few changes to the '56 models.
Among those minor changes in the 1956 Fairlane were new taillights
that were larger with chrome rings around them, new oval shaped
parking lights which replaced the previously round ones, and
slightly different side trim on the rear quarter panels. The
biggest changes for the 1956 Fords occurred under the hoods and in
the passenger cabins. The electrical systems in 1956 were upgraded
to a more reliable 12 volt system and the instrument cluster and
steering wheels also underwent design changes as well. This
particular '56 Victoria comes to us from an Arizona-based collector
who clearly enjoyed the car while under his stewardship. Powering
this '56 Ford is a 292 Cubic Inch V8 engine paired with a single 4
barrel carburetor that pushed out 200 horsepower when new. The 292
V8 is mated to a 3 speed manual transmission that is shifted using
a column-mounted "three-on-the-tree" shifter. Exhaust exits via a
dual exhaust setup that gives the car a nice throaty sound. With a
12 volt electrical system, this 56 Fairlane fires right up! The
exterior on this 1956 has been refinished in Peacock Blue and
Colonial White, just how it came from the Louisville, Kentucky
plant back in 1956. A set of 4 wide whitewall tires with full
wheelcovers complete the exterior look of this Ford Victoria. The
front and rear bench seats have a correct stock look consisting of
White Vinyl with Peacock Blue cloth inserts. The dash, door panels
and steering wheel are in nice shape and retain their stock
appearance. The dash is equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer,
temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and clock, along with indicator
lights for oil pressure and the generator. An AM radio is also
incorporated into the dash with an 8-track unit mounted neatly
underneath. Whether you're looking to buy your first classic car or
you're adding to your Ford collection, this 1956 Ford Fairlane
Victoria would make a wonderful choice. Give us a call today!
