1956 was a great year for Ford, and looking at this nicely-styled 1956 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan, it is easy to see why. During the early 1950s, while the Ford models certainly sold well and provided strong value, styling was quite conservative and the flathead V-8 reached its development peak. Clearly a dose of innovation was in order. Following the introduction of the all-new Y-Block V-8 engine for 1954, the 1955 Ford models were completely redesigned with longer, lower and wider bodies, two-tone paint finishes, distinctive brightwork, and striking interiors. Along with a mild restyle for 1956, other changes included Ford's new Lifeguard Design safety features, which was comprised of dished steering wheels, improved door latches, and breakaway rearview mirrors.
HIGHLIGHTS:
312 V8 engine
Ford-O-Matic transmission
4-barrel carburetor
Dual exhaust with glass-packs
15-inch chrome-reverse wheels with moon caps
Reupholstered interior done in comfortable red cloth
Upgraded aluminum radiator
This classic Ford is finished in two-tone Fiesta Red and Colonial White, the perfect color scheme for a 1950's cruiser and also the same colors this came in from the factory. The sparkling chrome bumpers and many pieces of bright trim and moldings reflect beautifully against the glossy paint finish. A set of old-school chrome-reverse wheels with moon caps wrapped with 215/70R15 black radial tires enhance the nostalgic look of this vintage Fairlane.
The interior is in great shape and has been completely reupholstered in comfortable red cloth material. A handy removable armrest with cup holders upholstered in red vinyl is also included. The dash, steering wheel, radio and gauges are still original to the car.
Under the hood is a smooth-running 312 cubic inch V-8 mated to a Ford-O-Matic transmission. The engine features a 4-barrel carburetor, chrome open-element air cleaner and an upgraded aluminum radiator with electric fan. The engine breathes out through a dual exhaust system equipped with burbling glass-pack style mufflers and exits through exhausts ports in the rear bumper.
