Collector Quality Alert !!
1956 Ford Fairlane Sunliner Convertible
Currently owned by a collector who is selling due to health reasons ( she is in her 80s ) and can no longer enjoy / maintain the car as it should be. Current owner bought the car back in 2012 to complete her collection of 55, 56 and 57 show winning Fairlanes. The one you see here was her favorite and took her over a decade to acquire from the owner before her. The owner before her was a contributor to " Dennis-Carpenter " restoration catalogs, with this car being the cover car for 1952-56 Fords- yes, it was a "cover car " on a restoration catalog for restoration parts for 52-56 Fords !! If that doesn't scream " It's that nice !! " , I don't know what other compliments one could get ?
The car was restored to better than factory condition 2 owners ago, back in the 2000's. That owner lived down south in GA. The car was so well known and how nice it was, the current owner tried for years to acquire it, with finally agreeing to a price ( it wasn't cheap ) and purchasing the car in 2012. She has had help with keeping the car in tip top shape !! Keeping it stored in a climate controlled environment and staying on top of regular maintenance along with driving it when needed.

Paint and body are what one would expect in the words of "show quality / show winning !! " , no waves, no runs, no drips, no cracks and no imperfections anywhere ( on spot of touchup on the drivers topside front fender ) on this gorgeous "EN" code : Colonial White w/ Mandarin Orange 2-Tone Paint !! Body Gaps are superb !! Opening / Closing of the Doors, Trunk and Hood are solid- no binding, squeaking or rubbing. NO RUST anywhere !! Solid floors, rockers, wheel wells, firewall, undercarriage, decklid and trunk pan !!.... And the Chrome... OMG how nice the Chrome, Trim and Brightwork !! Worried about replacing and of this ?? No need to - it's that nice !! The Canvas Convertible Top is as nice as the rest of the car, including the plastic rear window. The glass is perfect- no scratches, signs of age or chips. The exterior of the car needs no explanation on how nice it is, except for the small, dime sized touchup mentioned earlier.
The interior is just as nice, if not nicer and the exterior !! The current owner decided to have the interior replaced about 5 years ago to keep up with her standards ! No signs of abuse, neglect or ever being smoked in. Working gauges ( including added auxiliary gauges for more accurate engine readings ), HVAC controls and added Air Conditioning. Column mounted shifter engages easily and registers each gear. Working lights, wipers, horn and signals.
*Believed to be* original "M" code 292ci Thunderbird V8 engine and drivetrain. Motor starts right up and settles to smooth idle with no smoking or hesitation. Car runs, drives, shifts, tracks and brakes as good as it looks !!
Current owner also added the " Continental Kit " to give it the proper 50's look !!
Clean title in hand !!
I did mention how nice it is - didn't I ?
