Ford

Fairlane 500 Skyliner

Usual

One of the most sought-after Fords from the 1950's is the 1956 Fairlane Crown Victoria. Going by the trim tag, this particular Crown Vic decodes as a solid top car, yet it has the transparent top that was found on the very rare, Skyliner. It is unknown how exactly this beauty came by its top, but it was a modification offered by dealers back in the day. The craftsmanship it took to make the transformation here was done very well and professionally and the cowl tag is the only indication we've found that it didn't actually come this way from the factory.  And we can certainly understand why such a change was made! Ford first offered the "glass-top" Skyliner model in 1954, apparently intrigued by the bubble tops that had been offered for Ford convertibles in the 1940s. They would be available only for the 1*number in the description* model years.  The 1956 Skyliner drew so few orders that it was discontinued mid-year and only 602 cars were sold. They were identical to the Crown Victoria coupe, with the front part of the roof ahead of the B-pillar tiara trim replaced with transparent Perspex and an aluminized fabric panel that could be zipped over to keep the inside temperatures down.  This car is an older restoration in handsome and factory correct Fiesta Red and Colonial White that has been well cared for and carefully driven. It features accessory rear fender skirts, Ford wire wheel hubcaps, a rear-mounted spare in a continental kit and dual exhausts with Cherry Bomb glass pack type exhaust for a wonderfully nostalgic sound.  Powering this classic is a 200-horspower, 312 cubic-inch, Thunderbird V8 engine with 4-barrel carburetor and Ford-O-Matic transmission. The engine is said to have been rebuilt and runs beautifully. A fresh service and sorting with a vintage car specialist included removal and flushing of the fuel tank, carburetor rebuild, brake work, new rear pinion seal, ignition points, four new tires and more to ensure this Ford runs and drives great. A receipt for all the work performed come with the car.  HIGHLIGHTS:   312 "Thunderbird" V8 engine  Automatic transmission  Recent service and sorting with receipts  Continental kit  Fender skirts  Dual exhaust with glass-packs  Ford wire wheel covers  This well-kept and smooth running 1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria presents an opportunity to acquire a seldom seen mid-century classic Ford.
