Up for sale in our Dallas showroom is one sweet, and original ride,
the 1956 Ford Victoria. Built for the sole purpose to compete in a
declining market being dominated by the Chevrolet Bel Air, Ford sat
down to design something new. By changing the outside appearance
slightly, and increasing technology by adding in a new 12 volt
ignition system, the new Ford line began to bring something back to
the market that most manufacturers couldn't do. During the 1956
model year, Ford had also introduced a larger 4-door version called
the "Town Victoria" to incorporate the need for more passengers and
longer drives. Also introduced during this change was the
conversion from the old Flathead V8 to the new 292 Y-Block engine,
built to be stronger, and more reliable than the original style.
Mated up to this engine is the classic 2-speed automatic, which
makes driving an absolute ease, just drop the shifter into Drive,
and enjoy the ride. Of course this engine had been recently rebuilt
only 17,661 miles ago. The interior was very tastefully restored in
a beautiful orange and white vinyl bench seat, which matches the
overall look of the vehicle, including the very stylish but simple
dashboard. The exterior is as straight and beautiful as the
interior, also painted to match the interior, a beautiful Orange
and White two-tone paint job with the perfect splash of chrome
throughout. To complete the look the 1956 Victoria comes equipped
with wire hubcaps, wrapped in a beautiful set of wide what wall
tires. The Ford Victoria is a beautiful car through and through,
and as designed, this car makes for a solid daily driver! Options
include AM Radio, Hub Caps, Power Steering, Vinyl Interior, Wide
White Walls, Radial Tires and a recently restored 292 CID V8! To
