1956 Ford Fairlane

Description

The 1956 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan has the right look for a cool classic cruiser. After all, there's the beautifully intricate trim, fun details, plenty of interior space, and classic V8 power under the hood. It makes for an attractive vintage cruiser, especially for this value price.

This is a stylish-looking classic. It starts with a timelessly attractive Meadow Mist Green and white two-tone. It's a later investment that looks good while still having the right amount of age to make some people think it could be original. Ford's stylists really defined an entire era with the full-length trim that has a dip in the driver's door, and because it's a defining line for the two-tone, it's both stylish and integral. The wide grille, wraparound chrome bumpers, and Thunderbird-like tail lights all give this a terrific 1950's authenticity. The whole package is vintage, right down to the best period-correct cruiser additions, like the top-mount rear view mirror, whitewall tires, and rear fender skirts. And yes, the dual exhaust still exits through the bumper like a T-Bird.

The interior is arguably more distinct than even the exterior. The seats and door panels were both updated at the same time with a bold blue and teal two-tone. There's plenty of bright trim in the doors and a hint of tuck and roll pleating throughout. So it sets the tone right for a 1950s cruiser. In fact, if you like authenticity, the rest of the setup feels quite stock everywhere from the heater controls to the Ford family crest in the center of the steering wheel. So if your friends like a true vintage feeling as much as you do, you can really understand the extra appeal that four doors and plenty of interior space offer.

The Thunderbird badging on the front fender is no accident. Pop the hood and you'll find a quite tidy 292 cubic-inch Y-block V8 motor. It's presented quite authentically for this M-code Fairlane, including Thunderbird script valve covers and the bold red block. It has been well-maintained in the fundamentals, including the carburetor, fuel tank, and hoses. That makes for a good driver. In fact, you'll love the tune of the newer glasspack-style dual exhaust. And while this likes to give you a classic feeling for the road, the two-speed automatic transmission keeps it a proper cruiser.
