Vehicle Description
STK 3544 1955 Ford Sunliner
Back in 1955, Ford produced many versions of their full-size model
- their only car model. The Fairlane Sunliner convertible with its
fully chromed front end, stylish taillights and subtle rear fins
was 1955 to perfection. This mostly-original '55 Sunliner is a
great driving old Ford - the motor and transmission perform
flawlessly. It is also unique because it is virtually complete
inside and out - finding replacement parts for the mid-'50 Fords
can often prove to be very difficult. The exterior bodywork is very
straight and true, but the two-tone paint is weathered and needs to
be addressed in order to take home a trophy at your local show.
Exterior accents include a factory continental kit, fender skirts,
15" BFGoodrich Silvertown wide-white bias tires, full factory wheel
covers and a power convertible top. The interior was partially
restored with new yellow/black pleated vinyl upholstery and
front/rear seat belts have been installed. All of the other
interior components are in good condition. The dashboard is fitted
with factory gauges and the original AM radio (needs TLC). We do
not have history on the motor, but according to the VIN it was
factory equipped with a 272ci/2V Y-block V8 (U-code). A 3-speed
Ford-O-Matic automatic gearbox supplies torque to a factory
differential with stock gearing and the chassis is equipped with
power steering and manual 4-wheel drum brakes. The electrical
system has been upgraded from a 6-volt system to a 12-volt system.
This Ford is ready for a new owner who will appreciate the style
and fun of this Sunliner classic. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
