Vehicle Description

• This vehicle is located at our Indianapolis facility - 2461 Reeves Rd #194, Plainfield, IN 46168 •

The 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner marked the debut year of Ford's top-of-the-line model, blending elegant styling with mid-century American flair. This convertible example captures that spirit beautifully, presented in a striking red exterior over a matching red interior, complemented by a black convertible top that highlights its classic 1950s style.

Under the hood, this Sunliner is powered by a 272 cubic inch V8 paired with an automatic transmission, delivering smooth and reliable performance. Power steering and power brakes enhance drivability, while an electronic fuel pump with a switch adds modern convenience. The car has also been converted from its original 6-volt system to a more dependable 12-volt setup, making operation easier and more consistent.

Mechanical attention has been given throughout, including new mufflers, a new harmonic balancer, a new water pump, and a new gas tank complete with a fresh sending unit. It also benefits from a new carburetor and a new battery, ensuring dependable starts and strong performance. Inside, updated gauges monitor water temperature, oil pressure, generator function, and fuel levels, while new seatbelts add a safety upgrade for modern driving.

The Fairlane nameplate was introduced in 1955 to replace the Crestline as Ford's flagship series, offering premium trim and styling that set it apart from other models in the lineup. With its bold lines, chrome accents, and wide range of body styles, the Fairlane quickly became one of Ford's most popular models of the decade and a defining symbol of mid-century American motoring.

Completing this example, the car comes with its original owner's manual and repair manual-valuable resources for future caretakers of this classic Ford. Combining iconic styling with numerous mechanical improvements, this 1955 Ford Fairlane Convertible is a timeless American cruiser that's ready to enjoy today.
