1956 Ford Mainline
1956 Ford Mainline is a triumph of detail and high-performance. A winner at Seattle Roadster show, winner at Portland Roadster show, winner of the Cruizin to the Stars "Best Ford" just to name a few. The combination of Metallic Green, Magenta, and Purple is the color scheme that WOW's crowds at every event.
The body has been nosed, decked, shaved hood, trunk lid trim and door handles. This custom has smooth body lines. Keyless entry with a key fob with bear claw door latches. Custom tubular grill all hand made. A custom rear license plate mount that conceals the gas cap. All the side trim, front and rear bumpers have been painted. Keeping to the full custom feel American Racing Torque Thrust II 18" chrome spoke rims and Velozza-ZXV4-225/40ZR18 and 245/45ZR18 wheels.
The Mainline is built for comfort and cruising. Front and rear bench seats done in gray cloth upholstery with black trim. Black carpet and custom Ford '56 floor mats. The floors have a heavy Dynamat sound barrier under the carpets. The metal dash and all interior trim surfaces have been done in the deep metallic green...beautiful! A full sit of Autogages gauges plus a steering column mounted tachometer. Under the dash mounted stereo system. This beauty even has cruise control!
The chassis has a rear air auto leveling system with an on-board air compressor-trunk mounted. Stopping power comes from power front disc brakes and rear drums. Power to the ground is thanks to a Ford 9" rear with 3.50 gear. The superior ride and handling comes from tubular shocks absorbers, coil springs, and a front sway bar. The power steering makes parking and driving a dream.
