1956 Ford Fairlane

1956 Ford Crown Victoria - Stunning Rotisserie Restoration, Rare Factory A/C!
If you're looking for one of the finest examples of an American classic, this drop-dead gorgeous 1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria is it. One of the most beautiful cars ever built, this car has spent its entire life in rust-free Texas and has been lovingly cared for by its one and only owner. With just 85,000 believed-to-be original miles, this beauty underwent a complete nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration in 2012 and has barely been driven since, with less than 100 miles added post-restoration. It truly looks like it was restored yesterday!
Factory Features & Highlights
This Fairlane Crown Victoria is finished in its original and striking Raven Black and Colonial White color scheme, complete with a matching black and white interior featuring the rare mosaic pattern on the seats. The car is a true head-turner with its laser-straight body and flawless paint. You will not find a nicer body on a '56 Ford Fairlane anywhere.
Under the hood lies the coveted M-Code 292 Thunderbird V8 engine, mated to an automatic transmission. Incredibly rare for its time, this Fairlane is equipped with factory air conditioning, as well as power steering and power brakes, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. The engine compartment is fully detailed, as new.
Completely restored chrome: Every piece shines brilliantly.
Factory Continental kit and whitewall tires, adding to the car's appeal.
Dual accessory mirrors.
Original Ford glass with a 1968 Texas inspection sticker still in the window – a piece of history that adds to this car's uniqueness.
The original decals and paint sticker inside the glove box have been preserved, maintaining its authenticity.
Mechanically Excellent
This Fairlane drives as beautifully as it looks. Every mechanical aspect has been meticulously rebuilt or restored to ensure flawless performance:
The M-Code 292 Thunderbird V8 runs smoothly, and the automatic transmission shifts effortlessly.
Drives nice and straight down the road with no issues.
No leaks anywhere – tight and solid throughout.
All-new suspension, brakes, and exhaust mean this car is road-ready and reliable.
Working factory air conditioning
Everything works as it should:
All gauges, lights, wipers, and interior lights are operational.
The original radio works, adding to the car's charm.
Restoration & Condition
The meticulous, body-off-frame restoration ensures this car looks as good underneath as it does on top. The frame has been powder-coated, the engine and transmission fully rebuilt, and the underbody finished in Colonial White to match the exterior. Even the trunk is beautifully detailed.
Inside, the dash gleams like jewelry, with fully functional and restored gauges. All new weatherstripping has been installed throughout, ensuring the car is airtight and quiet on the road.
The only minor flaws are two small chips in the original windshield, but they hardly detract from this car's overall impeccable condition. It was kept to maintain some originality along with the original Texas inspection sticker.
You simply will not find a better example of a '56 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria at this price. A restoration of this caliber would cost you double or triple the asking price. This car is truly turnkey – ready for any show or just to enjoy the open road. With only 9,209 Crown Victorias ever built, and even fewer remaining, this is a rare find.
