Description
1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria
The Ford Fairlane is an automobile model that was sold between 1955 and 1970 by Ford in North America. The name is derived from Henry Ford's estate, Fair Lane, near Dearborn, Michigan. Over time, the name referred to a number of different cars in different classes; the Fairlane was initially a full-sized car, but became a mid-sized car for the 1962 model year. The mid-sized model spawned the Australian-built Fairlane in 1967, although in that market it was considered a large car.
Any time we get stunning 50's era Detroit metal into our Classic Auto Mall showrooms, it tends to attract a lot of attention and usually doesn't stick around very long. This is a 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria that has been the beneficiary of an earlier restoration, but still shines and has minimal smoothing filler. It's the perfect car for anyone who wants an accurate, exceptionally well done restoration for half the price of doing it themselves.
Exterior
With a blending of Fiesta Red and Colonial White this car takes the term paint job to another level. Very well done with minute inclusions, and a great shine. These areas of 2 tone are bordered by the use of a chrome side spear swoop, chrome rocker trim, chrome window surrounds chrome badging, and very nice chrome bumpers. From the front of the hood cloisonn shield, to the jet age hood ornament, and Fairlane badging in your grandmother's handwriting we are in drive-in-heaven. On back, the rear is graced with a continental bumper, nice and wide and housing a metal encased two tone red and chromed tire surround. Exhaust tips are through the bumper back here as well, which is very snazzy. Wide whites with dish caps and more cloisonn shields are sitting on all 4 corners. Very straight steel panels, great consistent gaps, slight hint of fins, and just perfectly placed paint patterns, get your DA greased, put the cigs in your sleeve and let's move to the inside....Ca, ca, ca, cool man!
Interior
Pushing the pristine chrome button, and pulling on that handle, we move the swoop spear swoop out of the way so we can slide on in. Feasting our eyes on this very 50's, very nicely done interior I'm in love..me tender. With masterful use of red and white vinyl, and of course plenty of chrome borders, the door panels have me all shook up. I love the rose vinyl inserts and the wonderful white vinyl bolsters and surrounds and it is just killer. A split bench in front and a rear solid bench swim in a sea of wonderful red thick pile carpet. Gazing forward we greet the 2 tone exterior matching dash in all steel. Gauges are very clean, sport chrome bezels, and all work, even the clock! An original steering wheel in red is bordered on the inside by the pie shaped horn ring that leaves a 1/3 portion out at the top just to keep your interest. A tight headliner in white floats above the interior and shows no stains. Also seen is the chromed basket handle emanating from the front of the B pillar and stretching across the top to the other side. Pure Crown Vic fer sur. Well that's alright baby, let's go to the Drivetrain section.
Drivetrain
Some time was spent here with a nifty engine bay restoration, and it includes a 292ci Thunderbird V8 with a block in red, and shiny black all over. A simple metal air cleaner covers a 2-barrel carburetor. Ford-O-Matic provides the 3-speed automatic transmission and it throws power back to a Ford 9 inch 3.22 geared rear. Hoses, electrical wiring, and radiator are also well sorted, and all shining brightly. Cruising up past your friends in this car will leave them in heartbreak hotel envy.
Undercarriage
Sometime prior to the time we release this car to its new owner, I'm going to eat my dinner off the underside..yes it's pretty clean and rust free with just a slight hint of patina and some road dirt, but I'd still put my dinner on it! Structurally very sound, the front suspension looks new, (but it may not be), and we see 4 wheel drum brakes, independent coil spring suspension in front, and leaf spring in the rear. Dual stock exhaust is snaking its way from front to back. Just a nice job performing the restoration under here. You ain't nuthin but a hound dog...
Drive-Ability
Our crack in-house decoder and car expert fought over who was going to drive this one! And we resolved it by both doing so. This car started without a hiccup, shifted beautifully, had a great cushy ride, and was comfortable to sit in. It's definitely a boulevard cruiser, could be a show-er, but for now I'm sticking to driving her. We found the radio non functional, as well as the clock, and there was a slight miss in the engine. I can't help, falling in love..with this wonderful car.
We have a turnkey classic that drips with mid century styling, plenty of chrome, an awesome interior, beautiful and fairly smooth running engine, great paint and color combination, and ready to roll. Now I'm really all shook up ohh hoo hoo ooh yeah.
